Whats going on the the Panthers?
How's the team playing? Hows Matheson playing in Portland? Or Kyle Rau....was curious how he would do in the pros after a great college career? Size issues?
The winstreak has ended but somehow this was the ebst game in a few.
The Gud:Respect where respect is due, Huberdeau had a reallly good game.Ekblad,Guds.Facoffs
The Blad:
The Ugly:The Mitchell-Campbell pairing is trash, Luu was bad,Trochek was lackluster on D, Pirri

Hows the team playing?
Actually in my opinion really bad on offense really good on defense. Key factors are Gudbranson and Kulikov developing into above average 2nd pairing Dīs, Barkov and our 4th line are dominant. Luu also with a great season. On the other hand you have team inept to score more than 2 goals per game. We are in dire need of offense, Huberdeau stinks so far and Bjugstad is rusty. Trochek is too inconsistent to carry the load. Ekblad provides offense now and i think his points will climb.
Matheson? From what i hear he looks great, he has looked great in the preseason and was a late cut. On a bad AHl team his +/- is really good with a +9. He might sniff some games this year already but will see more next.
Rau? From what i read he also looks good but not fantastic, his problem right now is that he is not a fit for a top 6 role and we got so many young guns already in the bottom 6 with Howden,Shaw,Brickley,Wilsen. He needs seasoning in the AHL anyway. So no need to panic. The forward prospect that is sticking out the most is Juhu Lammikko playing for Kingston. He might arrive sooner than one might expect with his nose for the net.

Too pissed for screwing our playoff chances again to be objective on this game. Gallant why would you pull the goalie there? You canīt win with 2 goals scored for as an absolute maximum. We are undefeated so far when we scored 3 goals +. So get out and get scorers asap!

This has been the best game of the season. Full 60 minute effort.
The Gud:Jagr for tieing the record, Montoya with an insane game,Huberdeau for finally working hard, Barkov with an excellent game completly shutting down Backstrom, the whole D minues Kulikov who belongs
The Blad:into this column, he still looks rusty, nice goal for Pirri as well.
The Ugly:/

Sorry for the late overview. WE had a supercrap game vs Boston once again and we lost McKenzie which is huge.
The Gud: Barkov
The Blad: Smith was okay so was Guds
The Ugly: The rest.

5 Goalas wow! And we win. Still not a pretty game. Bolland got demoted to the AHL for a conditioning stint while Grimaldi and Knight were up. Jagr was out with the flu.
The Gud: barkov... so good. R.Smith and Pirri with great games. C. Knight looked like he belonged, those faceoffs were unreal.
The Blad: Huberdeau no longer in the ugly column for some games
The Ugly:Grimaldi is no NHL C, let him on the wing please and never try that again.

Secondary scoring shalalalala secondary scoring shallaala.
Convincing win. Great game overall.
The Gud: Al is a great backup this season, Pirri with a great onem Smith good and hello Mr. Corban Knight may we welcome our 3rd line center of the future? Those draws are fantastic.
The Blad: Huby was meh
The Ugly: The Shawn Thornton breakaway was hilarious.
Special pointing out of the night: Dylan Olsen with the Panthers 8-1
Commish of UNFFHL, dangered species being the sole Panthers fan on Dobber.
Ahh against Carolina still feels special.
The Gud: Luuu with the shutout. Corban Knight in the faceoff circle, Dylan Olsen gets better every game atm, Barkov was his awesome self, Smith with another goal
The Blad:Jagr does not look like full power atm
The Ugly:Rocco Grimaldi.
And this one made me laugh:

.@68Jagr on Huberdeau passing away from him tonight: "And he chose Willie Mitchell. It's time to retire. Bye. I'm done after this one.''

Thanks for all the updates keytolife! Don't get to watch many Panthers games so these updates help tremendously.
How's Barkov's game so far this year? With the help of your updates I took a flyer on him a few games ago. Happy so far with a goal and three assists the last three games.
Keep up the good work!
Always glad if i am able to help mate-)
Barkov is usually the best player on the ice for both teams, that does not reflect as heavily in fantasy hockey,though. But his offensive game is improving and i consider him the best offensive option for the Panthers right now. I truly believe he is as close as canīt miss for any Panthers players in the last 10 years as it can get. The only thing that worries me is his injury proneness, otherwise you should have a lot of fun with him on your team.

What an entertaining game. This should have been 5-0 after two periods but those mistakes kept the Canucks in.
Itīs a good sign that the best players on the ice are the youngest and the ones struggeling ( besides Jagr he counts as young) are the old guys that can get replaced.
The Gud: Sasha Barkov was phenomenal, Ekblad was so good, Huberdeau looked really involved ( my fav game of the year for him, he is trending upwards), R.Smith, Trochek,Brickley
The Blad: Luu gave up two stinkers but after that he was great, Pirri was quit all game but is a machine on the SO
The Ugly: Willie Mitchell looks like he is aging crazy every day, Knight cost us two goals tonight,.

A day late for the Ottawa game summary and not much time again.
Very good hockey game. Ref tried to screw us big time, there were at least 6 superbad calls made, but the Panthers dominated.
Iīm get scared again that they will let me down soon.
Commish of UNFFHL, dangered species being the sole Panthers fan on Dobber.
Ahh theyīve done it. Iīm still in disbelief.
The GUd: Barkov is soo crazy good, Huby woken up, Ekblad lighting it up
The Blad: Pirri 12 shots, no goal
The Ugly:Thornton still in the lineup
Bjugstad is set to return. Letīs see hope they do not seperate that 2nd line.
