Come on dan you know better then to write this. All you are going to do is bring every troll into this thread.

I don't like seeing Gudbranson sit for three games. But I got the reasoning let him get back to a 100%. It's pretty easy to see he is struggling with having the cage on. And you know what a couple of games watching isn't always a bad thing. Look at Boyes he has been great since he was benched. Kulikov too, I have a feeling we will see a lot from Gudbranson when he comes back and is 100%!

Last time I checked, we had an NBA, MLB and MLS team. And I've been to every one of those team's games.

Yes it's your play that's the issue. It was a simple question or comment that players don't perform in Fort Lauderdale. You guys don't rebuild, you don't make the playoffs. You don't do anything at all really.

Sorry that I rubbed you the wrong way with my larger than life attitude, it's just my opinion that if things don't change, your team will be Quebec City by the time you're any good again.

Trust me you didn't rub me the wrong way. I've dealt with the attitude for over a decade. And If the team moves, so be it. I'm too far gone to defend the team being here any more. Sometimes I wish they would just move and get it over with. But before they do, I wanna take my son.. he's 9 weeks old.. so his first game.

Unfortunately it will be too little too late, though. Season is over.

Look is it really that hard to understand when you don't spend money to bring skilled players in to complement those young players that they will most likely fail? You tell me who in the last decade have the cats even acquired that wasn't from the draft that was any good?

It's not hard to understand with bad management the team isn't going to far plus when you have had poop for owners for the last decade!

I don't disagree, but to see him take the next step would go a long way for next season.

Don't see why you are giving up on the team now? Honestly if I were going to give up on them it would of been when we had Jacques Martin! Those were pretty dark days for the organization...

For having a brain?

What's your average attendance? I've seen some pictures of day games where you guys don't even have double digit thousands in the arena!

Unbelievably defensive. All I said was to look at the facts. You're draft picks bail, you're team is poop. It has nothing to do with what Tampa, Toronto or Philly is doing. The Panthers are a terribly run organization in even worse market. Players don't perform there. Period.

(frank). See ya Tuesday for another beatdown in your arena full of Leaf fans on vacation

are the leafs buying the argos?

Yeah I believe MLSE is looking at buying them. Supposed to be rebuilding BMO Field into more of a mega stadium that will house the Argos at some point

I'm not. What I'm saying is if tomorrow the NHL said we were moving, I'd say well, alright. It was fun while it lasted. I'm a new dad and traveling all the time for work so I have far too much going on to protest it.

Obviously I love this team. I have and will continue to support them. But I'm not getting season tickets anymore. I'm not running to all home games. Priorities have changed my friend.

Alright I got ya. Hell you don't even need to buy season tickets. Sub hub you can get them for pretty damn cheap.

It's kind of funny, I just got a new season ticket rep, and she is trying so hard to kiss my ass to fix the bullpoop that we had for most of the season. I think they are going to lose a lot of season ticket owners this year. For how much they have (frank)ed us this year. Plus with the team being poop doesn't help either...

what's crazy is that I said this before the season even started and Dan killed me by bringing this up. Gudbranson has played much better this year before getting hurt but 3rd overall quality? not even close.

Huberdeau has been a HUGE disappointment this season. He's been invisible for most of the games, this off season is Tallon's most important. If this team isn't close to a playoff team next year then they need to change the GM. He hasn't done anything special here.

The sad part is they will be getting rid of some vets and will probably get NOTHING for Kulikov. Chalk that up for another 1st round Dman who was suppose to be one of the cornerstones of this franchise and we get nothing in return for him leaving. It's a sad shame but that's just how things go with this mickey mouse organization.

You also got killed for "bust"stadt. Point is you carry limited credibility in your posts. Still kids trying to progress. Huby has looked better, so should they blow him out too?
Kulikov sucks.

End of 1st period down 2. This team looks like they quit. How the hell you let a guy stand in the crease on that first goal? Jovo laying on his fat ass.

Brad Boyce's couldn't get an nhl contract, comes to panthers on a pto and leads the team in goals, what's wrong with this picture?

Guddy played solid tonight, if we could just get rid of some dead weight and add some real offensive talent to play with the young guys we would be on our way, but of course we prob wont do that. You guys are getting on huberdeau, but look who he's been playing with, younger players need to develop with good talent to progress. You cant put them on poop lines and expect them to get better. Look at Nichushkin and McCinnon, they play with the likes of tyler seguin Jamie been and landiskog and orielly. If only we could get player like that for our young guys, instead we have upshall and Winchester or flash and goc with a little bit of kopey. So stupid. I'm not gonna get on bergy or boyes because I actually like the way they play.

I like kulikov. Yes he is young, makes mistakes but he tries, plays with passion and I like when he slashes and breaks the opponent stick out of frustration. Where was shore? In only 17 games he has as many goals as fleishman who just got benched for a whopping one game. And yes mike weaver still manages to play.

One last thing, what's wrong with this picture people. Brad Boyce's who couldn't get a contract this year comes in on a pto and not only makes the team but is your goal leader. Tom Gilbert also can't get a contract, comes in on a pto and has more pts than the so called qb on the defense mr Campbell. And finally Tim thomas falls into the same senario. Yes he was good in Boston but he had good defenseman around him that could bail him out when he went flopping, we dont

I think you guys could try to Send one of your defenseman to Philly in exchange for B.Schenn. Keep your Young guys, at least Gudbranson, Kulikov, Barkov, Huberdeau and Kulikov. Change your scouting and GM for christ Sakes. I wouldn't want to see The Panthers leave Town.

again, I admit when I'm wrong. It's funny how I'm usually right but I still get killed on here. You know whats funny? I'd rather have Frolik over Huberdeau. Watch, next year he'll have another under 40 point season in a 82 game schedule. The guy gets beat up every game, he's not strong enough to produce at the NHL level. I was wrong, I thought Huberdeau was going to be out superstar. Totally wrong. He may have won a Calder but that was in half a season. Tallon is in trouble if this team doesn't wake up next year. These kids have been average at best. No homeruns yet. You would think this team would have a few since they draft in the top 5 almost every other season. Pathetic,

I would.....I'm sick of paying huge amounts of revenue sharing, that my team generates and what I pay in higher ticket prices, so the Panthers can sell tickets for less then my local junior team. How many more years should the profitable teams be propping up teams that can't make payroll? This means you too Phoenix!

Yeah cause if Florida and Phoenix move your ticket prices will go down IMMEDIATELY. Dream on. You would sell out if your tickets were triple what they are now. Get over it.
