Post-Game Talk: Cats bounce back and kick da broonz out of florida with a 6-1 smackdown

[I am not exposed]

It didn't change the style of play that much since they played (more or less) like this even when Q was the coach. It did however allow the Panthers to trade a marquee player who wasn't committed to winning for a player who was.

Huberdeau being traded or Stanley Cup win?

I think we all know the answer...

Q was a lot different in my opinion. More go go high tempo rush and puck possession. We're now more about puck pursuit and retrieval, win 50/50 battles and more D pinching to keep plays alive. Defense is also more aggressive man to man vs. passive zone. I think a lot has changed with Tkachuk and Maurice IMO.

ofc when Zito gradually gets rid off players (e.g. Hubs and Duke) who detested idea backchecking and defending he changed the fabric of the team from a rush team to a more defensively minded team. But the Panthers did have enough sandpaper and 2way players to make them a difficult team to play against prior to the arrival of Chuck.

It changed the commitment to that style of play by our top guys.

We had a bottom 6 but still could not muster this in previous postseasons, Chucky changed the narrative.

No better way to celebrate 41K than to post



New Chezky just dropped

Also nutty how everyone is villainizing the Panthers for what happened last night. Jimmy Murphy on twitter is calling for someone to hurt Tkachuk "without advocating violence."




This guy gets it. The 3rd happened because of sore loser energy from Boston

 

[Ratsreign]

You’re all welcome. I can tune back in now

My son also does this, lol.

I’m not at all superstitious
but, then again, I never try to talk him out of it

I hate when he misses out watching live, though

Like I said during the game that it seems that the Broons know that they don't have anything to compete with our team. Once Sway and Ullmark started letting in goals, it was over for them since goat lending was the only area where they might've had an advantage. imo the remaining three games are just a formality unless the Panthers themselves allow this series to go any further.

 

[Ratsreign]

Forgot that at first… Then watched the highlights and remembered it !

The two shots in the back of the head were a reminder for Rodrigues right in front of the ref and the camera !

If you go back a little further in the clip, you’ll see Erod slyly giving him a face full of stick. Idk if it was intentional (but it was LoL)

Weirdest thing after that game is the Boston fans playing the victim. The Bruins started all the chippy stuff after the game got out of hand. Elbows to the back of Rodriquez’s head, Etu gets jumped by Frederick with his gloves off and he gets a game misconduct. Marchand gets in Montour’s face after the shorty and somehow Rhino gets booted but Pasta doesn’t after that scrum. Panthers are definitely not saints but for Bruin’s fans to act like the victims and at the same time saying the Bruins showed them is not a good look.

Montgomery b1tchin' because Katchuck took an extra punch, he does not want his girls be rough up by the other team, I think we got his attention.


That didn't age well. The weather report is more accurate than this guy.

That is how the Media works, before the game, they decide collectible to rub one off while saying Swayman's name.
I personally dislike very much that type of Bro'casting.

 

[Two4Fighting]

Ok. So I was standing on my way to the kitchen.
So I’ll stand the rest of the game.

Are you still standing there? The game is over and we won., you can get out of the kitchen now.

 

[Prominence Problem]

Good Okie interview from this morning. Some nice insight on Barky from playing against him to playing with him.

I hope people noticed KO's hits that caused turnovers on the first 2 goals.
He is playing some really good hockey right now.

 

[Two4Fighting]

Also McAvoy turnover after getting hit. Love To see it.

You hate to see it, bit it has to be seen!

 

[BabyBennettov]

EXACTLY !

That’s exactly how I feel !!

 

[Two4Fighting]

I've seen used tampons with more use than this dogshit PP

I am asking for a friend, where do you hang out?

 

[pantherbot]

So...I didn't even realize until just now that San Jose won the draft lottery. How great does it feel to not give a crap at all about the lottery??

He had a really good game. I want Lomberg back in the lineup, especially since the current 4th was making me really nervous (particularly defensively) in games 4 and 5. They did have a great game 3 in Tampa. But man I really thought he was noticeable last night, the line looked solid overall but his feet were moving well, hustling like hell, finishing his checks, taking hits when he needed to absorb some, working along the boards well, he definitely stood out which was great to see. As long as they keep the top 3 lines to the way they should’ve kept them then I don’t mind them keeping that 4th together. If we do go deeper in this postseason injuries are bound to happen. Lomberg will get his way back in at some point if we’re fortunate to ride the playoff wave for a bit longer

Ayeeeeeee!!!

Montgomery clearly had a plan to counter Panthers, and it worked for 4 periods until it stopped. At the second half of the game Bruins were looking completely outmatched, they had absolutely 0 (zero) chances for comeback, and had no answers for Cats. It looked so dreadful that I suspect if Montgomery couldn't create a new plan or one of their goalies enters Hasek mode again this will be a short series.

We didnt have that element, on the ice that Chucky brings. It was a persona of this team completely missing. The move was a culture shock to the organization from top to bottom.

And I think the style is much different now. Much more efficient now, and sustainable for the long haul. That is of course because we also have a different coach, and run a different system.

Getting Hornqvist, Bennett, Lomberg, Marchment, Montour and Gudas on board comprised the only shock to the system thus far even though MT going after everyone in almost every game during his first season was pretty unorthodox compared to previous seasons. The change of culture already happened two years prior when the aforementioned group was introduced to combat the country club established by Yandle, Huby, etc.
