Panthers Fan 69

True story. A little kid prob 7 or 8 after the aho goal to go up 3-2 started doing the DX chop to the caps fans as they were walking up the isles leaving. They were laughing at it too. Just awesome.

Just got home boys. 37 skated in warmups. Looked healthy. Rod benched him. Pretty sure Svech got a penalty in press row….just kidding! But this is unlike rod. But we are in cup season mode. My thoughts tonight. Burns is massively up and down. He has some atrocious turnovers lately. Tonight, Koochie bailed him out. Honestly, I’m know gutz had three points(2goals and 1 assist) and Koochie only faced 15 shots, half those caps shots were high dangers. Koochie was the star. Terrible 1st. Ok 2nd. Elite 3rd. Svech sitting will do him good. KK played just how he does. No penalties. Good defense, zero offense. Lastly, the cans played the first very half ass. They know they are better than everyone, ESP the caps. They honestly suck minus Ovi. They were playing not get hurt. When our boys turned it on, we’ll, it’s was party time. I have no clue with this team and what rod is doing but to @Harbingerspoint, tonight was our lines we need along with GOOD Svech. good night. I’m buzzed. Pie time. Cheers….

It’s feeling that way. As long as they play full.

That’s just it. The cape suck. We are half ass. But half ass shows more around the goal.

Unfortunately this one I’m serious. This team is content in their playoff spot. We look just like we are playing preseason hockey.

They are. Biggest half ass effort. Worse than last night.

Guys. It’s clear has day here live. They have packed it in. They aren’t playing canes hockey. They aren’t playing 100% go hockey. They have clearly mailed it in and content with 2nd place. They aren’t giving two shits on the ice. They are going half speed to not get hurt. If this is how rod wants to play I then play the lower guys like morrow for experience. This is embarrassing

The canes are 100% half assing it. No other way around it. These boys are giving preseason effort.

Staal, Martinook and Fast. That’s why last change is so important at home during the playoffs. Love it.

Going Aho. I want to go necas but rod has fuged up our lines so bad I don’t know what to do.

I don’t know what to tell ya buddy. This is the most time I’ve spect talking about a hit that happened or didn’t happen live. You are correct sir. Im wrong. I’m moving on to the Caps.

Here is the issue. Rods system doesn’t really allow for a 60 goal scorer like Matthew’s. It’s all team passes and more passes. Think team scoring. When the team is cooking, we can score. We it’s not, well, it’s 0-2 goals. Like last night. When a goalie is hot, we can’t solve them. Like last night. It’s all rods system. I’m not saying get rid of Rod. No way, but playoffs Rod and regular season rod are two different animals. One is elite, the other is average to ok.

Svech made a solid hit on the boards The bruins player hit back. Svech retaliated with a stick to the face. It’s pretty cut and dry. Tripp even said on the broadcast you can’t do that.

Well last night sucked. At the least the first period. The other periods we played well, just had trouble scoring. Over under what period Svech takes a dumbass penalty again? Play smart tonight, forecheck the Capitol bastards into the ice and score at will.

Yeah I went back and watched the game where @Harbingers told me to. 37 definitely retaliated and now it’s become too much. Gotta sit him.

Maybe he is just feeling this out before the playoffs. Maybe the the team isn’t giving it their all becasue they are stuck at 2nd and in no danger of dropping to 3rd.

I can’t believe I’m about to say this. KK may suck at scoring but he does play sound defense and doesn’t cause penalties. I would have KK come in for 37 for a game. Svech is not good right now.

Svech is a good Hockey player. He isn’t a good player right now. Our lines suck. We can’t score again. Not impressed.

And this is what I worry about with Rods system against playoff level. Our scoring just drys up. Should we be concerned?

My section was buzzing there at the end of the half. The canes flipped something. If we can snag us a goal to start the period we can win this thing or at least push for OT

You can feel the mood in the arena folks! We got some Mo. score on this PP and anything can happen.

Bruins are doing a good job taking away our shooting lanes and forecheck. 13 shots on goal isn’t ideal. ESP for a team that has issues scoring.

100% retaliatory. But we will agree to disagree

Yes but the refs know to look for the 2nd guy. 37 had been so bad at the retaliation that league knows to look for it.

Svech is a goddamn liability. Tired of this retaliation stuff. Sit his ass rod. The dude is trash right now.
