The cable went out right before that powerplay in the 3rd (wet snow is blowing up some local transformers for some reason) so I have no idea how this ended. Even God said "DON'T LOOK! THE POWERPLAY IS HIDEOUS!" Highlights! Please! (They're not working!)
But I don't need highlights to say that:
- Spacek is going to kill me.
- Price might kill Spacek first. Or Hamr.
- A rookie like PK Subban can stickhandle and protect the puck with ease through a crowd of wild rabid dogs yet the veterans seem absolutely incapable of doing so.
- The inept powerplay will kill this team.
- Markov didn't un-kill the powerplay magically.
- Martin didn't put Markov on the PIVOTAL 5-on-3 at all so he killed the game that way.
- Too many back-to-back games gonna kill the old man defence so you may as well have SCRATCHED Spacek for Picard (I can deal with his mess for now).
- No one can fucking aim when they shoot.
- No one understands a rebound is something you should try to score on. Panthers understood this, Habs never understand it.
- Gionta may be a zombie because no way he screws up that bad on a wide open net if he weren't.
- The Panthers play like shit in every other arena, including a gross stinker in Ottawa just before, but come here and magically turn into a real team (OK they seem to do the same to Penguins on more than one occasion).
- It might have been a good night to play DUSTIN BOYD.
- The opposite net is a mysterious place where only Halpern's line goes.
- Darcy Hordichuk is full of hot air.
Please. Fix the powerplay before you go to Columbus. Other than that, 7-3-1 with THIS defence, with only one line really scoring, and NO powerplay for October? Yea, I'll take that.
