Lol at least Kulikov won't get burned every play.

So... Kulikov is pretty much directly responsible for both goals against, and nearly knocked Matthias out of the line up. Kulikov is a great piece of trade bait, IMO. Kuba as well.
The Robak penalty was hilarious. The referee who made the call was behind the play, and obviously saw the end result of Sestito either diving or hitting an edge, which is what send him into the boards. Robak MAYBE got a piece of the jersey with his stick, and Sestito tried to embellish. If anyone deserves a suspension on this play, it's Tom Kostopoulos, who took his gloves off while Robak was down on the ice, and pummeled him with rib shots while Colby was defenseless. That is classless, and not the type of thing an NHL player should be doing. Sestito was a good 8 feet from the boards, and the call on the ice was cross-checking, not boarding.
I'm not even going to bother commenting on the Nash hit.. if you follow me on twitter @pantherss88 you will be able to see all of the things I said to Shanamoron and the NHL about the issue.
Eric Gudbranson is the type of player you build a blue line around. With him, Campbell, and Brennan.. you have a very solid top three defenseman. I'm not sold on Strachan and I don't expect him to be back next season. I love Robak, though I feel he needs to work on his shooting a bit, I don't think I've seen him hit the net once.
Howden had the best game of his THREE GAME NHL CAREER last night. He's played three games, how can you call him a bust? However.. I do think if there is a prospect we are going to dangle as trade bait, it's him.
