I think the Panthers know better than anyone who they are and what their ceiling is.
Thats scary. When you havent any panic in your game and you can just turn it on and have NO passengers at ALL . You are a champion.
Canes dont have that element .
Its not just the players . Maurice and Zito KNOW theyre roster , buttons to push, words to say, tough love to give and which players to light fires under.
Everyone that hasnt watched Pauls interviews should. He LOVES his roster. Barkov is an amazing captain and leader . The way he descibes his players description of one another and how theyre wired differently. ....that speaks volumes about their organization
I cheer for the cats mostly because of that.
I see that growing within the Flames organization and getting Lomberg back here as a piece of that culture is SO important. I think its a huge change in culture that excited me the most this year with the Flames that i recognized with the Panthers since Maurice joined them.....it may have existed before Maurice got there. I think that made it really hard on Huberdeau and Weegar but makes me glad we've got 3 ex Panthers here .
Go cats Go
