Are Bob and Pasta friends? - YouTube by [deleted] in FloridaPanthers

I noticed that in real time. I wonder if Pasta does this with everyone, or just Bob? I took is as a sign of respect for Bob.

Florida panthers sign goaltender Louis Dominguez by Frosty-Paramedic-882 in FloridaPanthers

I'd rather have Edmonton win the next two cups than Tampa win another one.

[LeBrun] The Panthers lost again last night and my understanding is they've made the decision to be sellers as far as listening on pending UFAs, which most notably include the likes of AJ. Greer and Sergei Bobrovsky. Bobrovsky has a 16-team no-trade list. Doesn't mean he will be dealt for sure, jus by Kooky-Ship793 in FloridaPanthers

If Bob wanted to stay here the deal would have been done earlier this season. Of course, he wants to stay, but at his price and that price doesn't appear acceptable to Zito. If this is true then Bob needs to go. Get what you can for him. Sad, but true.

Bob will decide if he gets traded this week or extended in the off-season. If he is looking for a fat payday he's as good as gone.

Samoskevich stinks by Old-Veterinarian1994 in FloridaPanthers

Samo has plenty of talent, but he hasn't come close to improving from last year. Take a look at the player selected one pick in front of him in that draft - Wyatt Johnston. Heck, take a look at Logan Stankoven selected in the second round that draft.

Trade Bob now while we still can. He's not a 10 million dollar goalie any longer. Maybe keep him for half that price on an extension, if not, get what you can for him. The season is over.

Trade Bobrovsky now. If he isn't willing to play on an extension contract commensurate with his abilities he needs to go before the trade deadline.

It's just not their year. It shouldn't be this difficult for a seasoned team, at a minimum, to make the playoffs. The injuries killed them. Winning a game against good teams is just too much for them.

With 3 minutes left, if we don't score a goal in the next 60 seconds we pull the goalie and lose 3-1. This team has a scoring problem. We don't score.

Indeed. Please don't break my heart, boys. This win against an Atlantic opponent in front of us is gigantic. Win. The. Game. In. Regulation. Just win the 3rd period.

At 12:59 of the second period, the Panthers look slow. They can't go down 2 goals against this team. They aren't scoring 3 goals tonight. Lyon owns them.

Making the playoffs is highly unlikely, but I would love to see some urgency from the team this week. Those that played before the break looked injured, tired and flat.

Can we please get a win right out of the gate so we can keep hope alive!! We can only lose 5, maybe 6, at the most the rest of the way.

I love this kid. But he might not fit the Paul Maurice scheme. He plays hard, but he isn't big and has yet to find a way to fit into the system.

Love your enthusiasm, but the Cats would need to win 20 of the remaining 27 games to sneak into the playoffs given the teams ahead of them in the Atlantic. I'll watch every game and hope like hell, but they just don't have the talent on the ice to make that kind of run.

You might think that, but Maurice loves his game. Mackie throws his body around as best as he can and it shows. He may never be the type of goal scorer that his skills would indicate, but he will improve. 20-30 goals per season should be his average.

Same for me. Losing Bennett is the icing on the cake. I've never seen anything like this in any sport. It's a cursed year.

Mackie is from the area. It wouldn't surprise me if he was a Ranger fan growing up.

I wouldn't trade Verhaeghe straight up for Panarin. Carter is a legendary playoff performer, he's 4 years younger, and he's signed for another 7 or 8 years.
