rip
Can’t wait for our return from the all star break on Thursday!
I hope daddy coop paddles their taut little bottoms for that one
best part of that game was that it ended and i could stop watching
Same ol same ol break. This team beat Boston and can heat up. We’ll be fine
Pathetic shiowing.but ultimately not a big deal we always suck after a long time off. Panthers still suck would absolutely love a rematch in the playoffs.
On the plus side verhaeghe helped me in fantasy
Why are they like this?!
Every year. Seasons start, all star return etc etc.
Cernak has not caught enough flak this year for being a straight bum most nights. I knew he would regress without Mac but he’s been abysmal.
Oh my gosh, we weren’t prepared to play after a long break. Where have we heard this before?
We always suck after a long break simple as that move on to tmr
I just love how happy the panthers are. Beating us with arguably our worst game in years.
On to tomorrow!
Was at the game. They started chanting we want 10…
Don’t be too bummed about this train wreck of a game. We have bad games. Let’s just get to the postseason healthy.
I didn’t watch the game but Jesus did we even take the ice with a score like that?
Vasy is gonna be mad.
All three Panthers fans at the arena celebrating their victory like it was game 7 of the Stanley Cup playoffs. It’s hilarious how bitter and jealous they are of Tampa’s success. Until you win three cups and make it to five finals, and, oh yeah, don’t get swept by the Bolts in the playoffs, you have no leg to stand on. Regular season warriors as always, except they’re not even that this season as they’re barely even .500.
Oh man I hope we didn’t do anything stupid during the all star break and are ready to return home to play the sharks tomorrow for our first game back.
Pain. Win tomorrow boys.
Most disappointing game I’ve ever seen in my time as a Bolts fan, especially against our rivals 🙁
Yep. The boys enjoyed break and slow to start back, while the Cats were riding the pride-high of just hosting the All Stars. Most would take first wins after a break as a blessing, never a given anyway.
What’s there to say? That was not good. Hopefully, they turn it around tomorrow, or I might cry.
We are not going to beat anyone with Cernack and Cole both at -4 & Kuch with a -3:( I think we were also out coached. Which does not happen very often. Kuch and Stamkos out on the ice at the end of a Penalty Kill = Panther goal. Hagel should have been moved back up with Point and Kuch for the 3rd period. Nothing flowed tonight & no chemistry.
The best part of the game was watching an actual Bolts fan fight the rat mascot trying to take its Panthers jersey off and put the guy’s Bolts jersey on over it. I’m still trying to find the video.
