I hope that tank general Clemmer will be in net. Let's lose!

Panthersfan1989 · 04-13-2013, 01:08 PM

I would like to see hubby net one tonight... hes been quiet as of late Gallagher is only behind by 1 goal in the standings. I want to see him win the roy award.

Over/under on how long it takes Guds to get tossed for wiping out a Penguin?

lol.

As ATF pointed out, the beauty of having a former successful hockey player as a coach is Dineen will not allow him to let up.

I hope he crushes someone early.

Panthersfan1989 · 04-13-2013, 01:28 PM

Lines are looking like this tonight @FlaPanthers

Looks like kid line of @JonnyHuby11, @drew_shore15 and Muller back together. Other lines: 14-57-82, 19-27-12, 22-18-42/37

adam graves · 04-13-2013, 01:40 PM

weaver back has to help.

Me too

PanthersHockey1 · 04-13-2013, 01:54 PM

who is weaver replacing in the lineup? Please be kuba or strachan, I've had enough with both of them.

RainingRats · 04-13-2013, 01:55 PM

I wouldn't be surprised if we win this. I predict 3-2 win, Markstrom with 38 saves, Howden gets his first goal.

angry_treefrog · 04-13-2013, 01:57 PM

We really need a loss here.

Carolina is 1-13-1 in their last 15 games! Yes, thats one win and fourteen losses.

Let's go outplay them, watch the kids score some cool goals, the Alien steal some goals - only to have the refs screw us over as usual at the most critical moments.

I want lots of moral victories, but few in the W-L column.

One more stud forward will set us up for a decade.

I know he hasn't been his last season self, but I still like Strachan. More than Kuba anyway. He's still physical and stands up for his teammates.

10 minutes if we're lucky.

Luis Gudbrunson · 04-13-2013, 02:28 PM

TONIGHT!

Winning the season series would give me something to hold over my Pens-loving workmate.

Rick Rypien Farts · 04-13-2013, 02:40 PM

Gudbranson checks Kennedy. Shoulder on shoulder. Kennedy ducks and gets obliterated. Gudbranson gets a 5 and a game.

Orpik throws a similiar hit on.. oh let's say Upshall. Upshall stays down for a minute and gets back up. He skates to the bench and doesn't return. Upper body injury. NO PENALTY ON THE PLAY.

Enjoy the game.

Mogo · 04-13-2013, 02:43 PM

I'd never think i'd be this happy seeing Weaver back in a season we dont have playoff chances. I hope Kuba is out. Our PK misses Weaver so much

I'm going to guess that Guds gets in a verbal disagreement with a Penguin and that said guy passes out because Guds had bad breath. 5+20 and a 10 game suspension.

What happened to the I'll only use these powers for good part?

PBPantherfan · 04-13-2013, 03:03 PM

I'd love to beat then Pens tonight but damn the teams above us are tanking like hell. I was hoping for 2 or 3 home wins to finish the season but that may put us out of the top 3. Oh well as ATF said lets hope for a good showing and a screw job from the refs. Good thing Cindy's not playing Guds would get suspended for the year just for looking at him.
