Matt Ross: Could Be Another Close One: Cats vs Caps

Tkachuk skated with team, but is out for tonight. Stenlund is sick. Great to see Forsling is ok and right back in the lineup.

Jameson Olive tweet
With no Tkachuk and possibly no Stenlund, here's what FLA could look like based on AM skate.
Rodrigues - Barkov - Reinhart
Verhaeghe - Bennett - Cousins
Luostarinen - Lundell - Lomberg
Gadjovich - Lorentz - Lockwood
Forsling - Ekblad
Mikkola - Montour
OEL - Kulikov
Stolarz

What a finish!

Fun game!

Do you call that a fun game? That was so boring that I fell asleep. That kind of game is not going to attract a fan base. If you go to a game like that, most people are feeding their faces or staring at their phones rather than watching a boring up and down the ice while nobody scores. Even Maurice said his team wasn't putting any effort into it.

The OT was fun.

Yes, the overtime was exciting, because it was 3 on 3. Regulation was boring though, more of a European type of hockey. I'm no fan of the trap and prefer the run-and-gun style of hockey. Rodger Neilson the first Panther's coach was a fan of the trap, clogging up the neutral zone, but I am not.
