Matt Ross: Florida ‘Third Period’ Panthers vs Predators

Yes, I want a convincing win tonight.
Go Panthers!

Maybe Hinostroza will make an impression tonight. I haven’t noticed him much at all in the games he gotten into lineup. Don’t think he’s been in for two games in a row, yet. Time for him to show something.
Bob’s been good lately. Would be nice to see them get off to a fast start, it’s been a while.

100% agree here, Jimbo.

Hinostroza had a great motor in CHI. He was really good at creating a lot of opportunities (but struggled to finish). I thought he carried that over to AZ and I thought it would translate to FLA - but I wonder if he’s just overlooked by how well some of the young/new guys are playing.

Please for the sake of my blood pressure have a nice fast start and convincing win so i dont have to flinch everytime there is an opponents shot

That was a subtle little look-off he did to make Rinne think he was going to pass and then he ripped it by him.

Marchment has been really impressing me.

Uh oh pushback by nashville. Gotta get out of this period still up at least 2. Stop with the stretch pass. First period strategy was working fine

How about that footage from 1998? Loved that mask McLean was rocking - just a few Panthers stickers on it. Haha. Awesome.

Phew dodged a bullet on that offside callback terrible start to the 3rd

Great.... now were back to forgetting how to close out a game. FULL 60 guys!!!!!!

Ekblad 2 nice goals but 2 terrible defensive plays on goals against

Marchment is carving out a spot for himself in the bottom 6.
I’d rather see Connolly play than Hinistroza right now. He’ll be the next to be waived to move him to taxi squad. Wonder how many more games Q gives him to show more before doing so.
Duclair will/should be back soon, leaving one bottom 6 spot in the lineup for Tippett, Lomberg, Hinistroza or Connolly.
