ROAD WARRIORS - PANTHERS 7 WILD 0
Evgeni Nabakov Shuts the Door on Wild and Former Mates...
It the highly anticipated battle between the Florida Panthers and the Minnesota Wild, the Panthers stepped it up and HAMMERED the Wild 7-0 on Thursday night. The Panthers who have been awsome on the road this year had this game circled on their calender.
Only one week ago, one of the biggest trades in CPHL history went down seeing tons of players switch teams. The Panthers have been struggling finding the right line combinations as they have struggled since the big trade.
"We know we have the right players on this team to win" said GM Penney, "but finding the right pairings has been the toughest part".
The Panthers will look to build on this win when the face the Capitals tomorrow night.
