The Panthers are not getting anything out of their third line. Maurice is not rolling all four lines consistently. This tells you that he doesn't have confidence in giving equal ice time to all of his lines.

Yes, Matt, you can skate there 2 sheets of ice, one is a dedicated public rink.

So, they got a new practice facility, big deal. Is that going to make them play better, probably not. But I do agree they need to practice a lot; powerplay, forechecking, and not allowing breakaways by team opposition all need to be worked on.

Since everybody condemned Cousins for his hard forecheck on Gudbranson, the Panthers have turned into playing like kitty cats. Hockey is a contact sport and if you don't want to see that go find another sport like pickleball to watch. Panthers need to play like predators on the hunt.

There’s some truth in this. Something seemed off in their next game in Seattle. They’ve been playing a bit differently since Columbus.

New facilities can’t hurt...

It’s more of a big deal for the community with the other things going on there

LoL, that escalated quickly at the end. What was Carlsson thinking when he decided to throw the first punch at Bennett?
Had to laugh when the ref said we never blew a whistle when the melee started, so the game is over. Probably the best call they made all day.
Not too long before Panthers go visit Vegas. Should be an interesting game Jan 4th

You could see the frustration on the Knights players when Tkachuk got the rag-doll shuffle when he got slammed to the ice, and Rodriques got his face slammed into the boards. This is the way the Panthers need to play. It gets the opposition off their game.
