Matt Ross: Panthers vs Flyers

Right now, I would give Bill Zito a D- for his trade deadline acquisitions, and Tampa an A+.

Maurice said the Panthers were not playing how he wanted them to play, I wonder if they aren't starting to tune him out? That's the way it ended up in Winnipeg.

Maurice's system requires forwards to come back and play defense with a lot of forechecking and backchecking. This I think is wearing the Panthers' players out, and they are taking matters into their own hands.

Should Reinhart and Hyman end in a tie for goals - tie goes to Reinhart automatically as he has had to play with a center who takes weeks off for a hangnail haha

First Tarasenko runs into Ekblad, and then he runs into Barkov. Is this a sign of things to come?

man what a bunch of chokers weve become. cant hold a lead to save our lives. Erod with a ridiculous unforced error for the penalty.... and Balinskis on that 2nd goal???? what the hell was he thinking? and he was playing so well until that brain fart too...

The Acquistions of Rodriques, Okposo and Tarasenko were a bust.

I think Sergei Bobrovsky is regressing. he cannot hold a lead, nor can he stop players in a shootout as his good friend Parnian showed.
