unless significant value in picks coming back just stay the course. We need to remain as competitive as possible to keep montreals pick as high as possible. Offseason ditch the coaching staff if Viola doesnt mind shelling out big paydays for Maurice

Holy shizzle! Nice opening period in Tampa.

Shots first few minutes 4-2 Tampa
Period ended with shots 17-4 Florida

3 past Vasi

Lead not safe until it’s 6 or 7, though

Vasi woke up in the second

Panthers taking penalties will cost them this game, TB power play too deadly.

Please don't ever get rid of Lomberg or Gudas, they are the heart and soul of this team.

Man, they love playin with fire. LoL, Let’s take 4 penalties while trying to protect a 2 goal lead in the third. Bob has been pretty damm good lately. Most NHL wins by a Russian goalie now with last night’s victory.

This Panthers ride continues...

It’s tough, both Calgary and Florida would be playoff teams this year if the big trade didn’t happen…but it had to happen unfortunately. Side note…CBJ looks sooo good this year with Johnny Hockey

I think the Panthers would of made the playoffs if Paul Maurice wasn't the coach.

You see who's on defense, right?

No they wouldn't. The roster was a severe downgrade from last season.

Yes, they would. Mo’s team struggled (struggles) to adapt to the changes he’s made to their game.
Even with the downgrades, this team has greatly underachieved so far. They’ve pissed away so many games they “should’ve” won, it’s maddening.


That was another example tonight vs Predators.

Selling players is the focus of TDL season. The real question for the Panthers is--will there be a year 2 of PoMo playoff hockey or not? Will Zito admit his monumental mistake and correct it asap or put in for another Titanic-like season?

Because the answer to that question determines who you sell. The Staals are PoMo boys. If it's up to him, they're not going anywhere and the fast, but highly talented ones will be on the chopping block. If we want to go back to last year's style with a new, hopefully competent and proven winning head coach, the Staals, Cousins, and White will be auctioned off. If Gudas wants to stay with FLA, I think he survives the TDL season.

Most likely, Zito will be paralyzed by indecision between another year of failed playoff hockey or a return to highly-successful fast hockey. So in the end, he'll do nothing and allow PoMo's destruction to continue to the end of the season where Mr Viola will probably make the call.

I guess it was just too obvious. Zito is going to let PoMo jerk us around to the painful end.

If PoMo's not out by the day after the season ends, then both PoMo and Zito need to go. Every day this failed PoMo experiment continues is just more damage to the Zito-sheen. The time to act is now. Bill Zito's not buying himself any situational improvement, or new friends, by waiting.

Not only that, but Zito has depleted our farm system down to nothing. He also has the Panthers handcuffed in the draft giving away first picks with no returns.
