Time to hunt is right. I think Q has this team ripe and ready to go and playing with full confidence.

Spencer getting the start tonight is the major change from games 1 and 2. With the defense playing a lot better this year, I expect that he'll look reasonably sharp.

Panthers seem much deeper this year. Duclair's comments are on the mark. Opposing teams can't just worry about shutting down the Barkov line to stifle the Cats this year. The speed, power, and scoring are spread throughout--and it's awesome to behold.

I predict another tough and physical game. Vasi needs to play to his full talent level, but I see the Panthers pulling it out in the end.

This is the year.
Go Panthers!

As much as i hate to say it.... vatrano has to go. I like him he is welcome to stay but he seems to always have a pissed off face. even after the win the other night i seen ekblad pretending to trip him while headin to center ice and he didnt look impressed.

Can you believe Kucherov, the guy is a wussy. He cannot go through the daily grind of a regular season. He'll probably come back for the postseason. Stamkos will be next.

I’m kind of surprised by the Knight start, but we’ll see how he does.

Verhaeghe Barkov Duclair
Huberdeau Bennett Tippett
Vatrano Lundell Reinhart
Marchment Thornton Hornqvist

Weegar Ekblad
Forsling Gudas
Connauton Montour

Marchment back in lineup after injury
Gonna miss Lomberg out there, though.
Panthers gotta stay out of penalty trouble
Duclair back with Barky and Verhaeghe should be high octane
Reinhart scores his first as a Panther tonight, set up by Lundell

Think they found the spot for Reinhart. Their line was good all game.

Really impressed with Lundell

Excellent game by the boys from what i saw. Sadly i missed barky and lundells goals while readying up. I turned the game back on on the phone to catch the end. Still with the penalty troubles i see

Hey, come on! There were only 6 this game, better than the 10 they had opening night They really gotta cut down on the penalties.
They killed off every one of them, so at least there’s that.
Lundell has been out there killing penalties like a seasoned veteran.
