That's why I'm annoyed. It's not the fact they're losing, it's because nobody will have seen what the Panthers are capable of and they'll all assume I'm out to lunch when I say good things about them.
It's like an Eastern reporter watching one Flames game where they don't play well and writing them off for the rest of the season. That would annoy you too, right?

That's how real life is. You can't convince everyone. But it doesn't mean you should start banging your fists over it. If the Panthers were complete rubbish, then they wouldn't be atop their division. Any half objective hockey fan wil admit that much.
HOWEVER in a lot of the games I've looked into that the Panthers have won, it seems they're routinely outshot/chanced, sometimes by a wide margin but manage to squeak it out on the scorboard. Seems theres a bit of the 14/15 Flames effect going on with them. Opportunistic but beat in the advanced stats.
But I don't care about advanced stats, so props to them.
I still don't see them as defensive juggernauts as you seemed to claim in the GDT.
