[Broken Ankles]

Can they win one face off?

Dang that was a good shift by the Panthers. Just bled the clock down with possession. Good timeout, don't leave it.

[matter2003]

It's a fair result. Panthers are deeper, more experienced and simply better than we are.

We don't want a "I'll show up....trust me" player. We want a player that shows up every game.

Well since there are humans that play this game and not robots, no player who plays this game is “on” and “brings it” night after night. Again, for me, non issue.

I get the feeling we're not getting a great chance before this is over

Pissed I was right

I agree.

[Eleven]

I'm ok with this game.  I'm especially ok with the reaction after the final whistle.

When does it become an issue for you? How many games without a point?

Game is on the line, 2 minutes left in the game down by one goal, Tage Thompson gets the puck on the far side all alone, only 1 defender to beat to get a quality chance at net as everyone is changing...

What does he do? He dumps it in and goes off on a change......

I'm sorry that is not the KILLER INSTINCT I want from my Number 1 center that just got extended on a massive contract, PATHETIC.

We should of never signed him until after this season ffs if he is going to play like that.

He’d been on the ice for 1:30 already

Tkachuk never has his mouth guard in, one good shot will make him lose his chiclets.

[triumph_communes]

They should’ve gooned Tkachuck. Guy is pure scum.

Although the score was close that was a complete mismatch. Especially the second half of that game. Nothing much encouraging to take away from that game. Long season coming yet again.

He's still been garbage.

Chill.

So your telling me he was too tired? Only 2 minutes left in the game.. what is he saving his energy for?

A long list of players throughout the leagues history would disagree, just an opinion.

[Eddiegoofball]

Florida is a beast. They are the superior team and they attacked us all game. The fact our guys answered often and kept fighting back despite being outmatched a bit physically was nice. The kids weren't intimidated, and we hung with one of the league's best right down to the end. While the result was disappointing, the effort was encouraging.  

[thewookie1]

Hate losing but this team certainly looks like they have some moxie and nothing intimidates them. Now on to the West Canada trip; let’s beat up Canada again.

I hear ya, just pointing out that which is factual.

Sabres all in all did well.  These future Panther games look like they can get rough.

The guys and coaches got some work to do, especially on the PP.

They young guys know they are getting the minutes now and need to find their respective roles.

[Crusader1969]

A lot closer to the Panthers this year but still there is a gap in experience and strength 

not bad game overall   Their PP was fantastic, ours is a work in progress

2 more cup contenders on the docket    Hopefully they can find a point or two

Our Boys in Blue stood up. Not there yet, but they will learn from each game. Meatballs & co. Have actual video to watch, react, & coach to. This is part of the process. Patience & keep rooting on our boys! I see definite signs of growth coming.

No matter what, when your tired you can’t magically generate energy regardless of how desperate you are.

[HumanSlinky39]

Panthers are stacked and will be one of the top-3 teams in the East. We went toe to toe with them without even playing our best game. Yes, you're going to want to snag some of these games, but I'm not getting too bent about this loss. 

 

On to the next one.
