Game 2: Panthers @ Bruins

[Ferm Sheller]

The Patriots have a record that will never be broken in a 16 game season.

And we HATE mentioning it. Makes our fucking skin crawl.

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

Aaaaaaaand we’re back to head-up-his-ass Marchand.

 

[Haunted]

The sports radio what ifs are stupid

 

[RSN Diaspora]

LOLOLOLOL

 

[twibnotes]

Not even comparable. Like, what are we doing here?

it’s analogous in the sense that no real fan gives two shits about the achievement if the playoffs go poorly

 

[durandal1707]

Just way too much headassery to overcome tonight.

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

Derek, if all you’re gonna do is swat at a guy’s helmet and look dopey while Hathaway’s getting double-teamed, just go home.

 

[Helmet Head]

Your hope is that this game lights a fire under them but I am bit concerned as they have played fairly meh games thus far and it appears they really weren’t prepared for the playoff intensity.

No idea what to expect for game 3 but hoping for the best.

 

[Haunted]

Oh look another awful turnover

 

[Mystic Merlin]

True, I know I enjoy the entertainment of sports more when I narrowly define what is gratifying.

 

[Ale Xander]

No for saying they don’t need Bergeron until the ECF. Have you ever watched an NHL playoff series?

I may change my mind tomorrow after seeing Tampa Toronto 2.0.

As of this moment, Florida, Tampa, or Toronto don't scare me. I will admit I'm a little more anxious than I was 8-12 hours ago.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Can we stop giving Florida point blank chances in front of the net? Holy shit.

 

[genoasalami]

Not much of a home team advantage in Sunrise. (If you are going, it has to be one of the coldest barns in the league)

 

[Haunted]

Who gives a shit if a theoretical loss that hasn’t happened is as bad or worse than a different loss in a different sport that did happen.

 

[FisksFinger]

Whoops

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Better to happen in a game 2 than a game 7.

Definitely worried though. Outlier games in the playoffs can be a little less common in hockey than other sports. The one-off clunker happens, sure, but hockey is definitely susceptible to revealing teams that do not have another gear getting pushed by teams that do.

Very early days, but this third period has been kind of shocking.

 

[FelixMantilla]

Somebody must have hit Staal with a gay pride sign.

 

[nolasoxfan]

Panthers are going to goon up the rest of this series.

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

Nosek with the chicken wing. Cool.

 

[Ale Xander]

Perhaps they need Bergy to sit where Nosek is sitting.

 

[FisksFinger]

This is the highlight of the game

 

[Haunted]

Wait. What

 

[Salem's Lot]

Panthers are going to goon up the rest of this serie.

Why wouldn’t they? It’s working. They just got home ice.

 

[Bergs]

Hydrate up, boys.

 

[The Mort Report]

lol "keep talking" with the hand motion

 

[Murby]

Somebody must have hit Staal with a gay pride sign.

This made me LOL. I’d so badly want to troll his bigot self with rainbow tape.

 

[Haunted]

What did Hathaway do

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Somebody must have hit Staal with a gay pride sign.

I actually forgot about this

 

[twibnotes]

True, I know I enjoy the entertainment of sports more when I narrowly define what is gratifying.

you and I are different then

2007 pats to me were ultimately a massive bummer

I’m def not alone in that view

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Can’t Explain is a very appropriate song to be playing in the arena.

 

[Salem's Lot]

WHY CAN NOBODY HOLD ONTO A FUCKING PUCK TONIGHT

 

[SoxinSeattle]

That was more interesting than the rest of the game

 

[FisksFinger]

Halfway there!

 

[Ale Xander]

LIFE!!!

 

[Ale Xander]

Gudas the Gunas

 

[FisksFinger]

That was more interesting than the rest of the game

Agreed

 

[Preacher]

Let them fight! Maybe they’ll win at something!

 

[The Mort Report]

Gudas reminds me of JJ Frankie JJ

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

Cousins needs a looooooong talkin’ to for that punk stuff.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Still don’t understand the Hathaway penalty

 

[durandal1707]

Lyon sucks. Maybe the silver lining tonight is that Maurice will keep playing him after tonight.

 

[Haunted]

Still don’t understand the Hathaway penalty

Yeah no one explained anything.

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

Gudas reminds me of JJ Frankie JJ

I’m going out on a limb and saying he’s not getting in with the best of Quebec’s actresses and models.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Sad thing is, three goals should have been enough to win tonight

 

[Haunted]

So more misconducts? Sure would be. Nice if Jack and brick explained any of it

 

[Haunted]

Good for Frederic and Bertuzzi here.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Ok who’s getting suspended now

 

[Salem's Lot]

Hopefully they go down there pissed off.

 

[FelixMantilla]

Florida sure does have a lot punks on their team.

Same. This was an ass beating and the Panthers are confident—cocky even—in their approach.
