Yeah looked like a stick lift to me

The good news is the Panthers give up a ton of goals. The bad news is they'll probably score some more too. Hold on to your butts...

The Panthers are a very solid hockey club

For the refs and bettman?

Playing the Panthers style of game isn’t going to work out well for the Flames.

Yep. I'm guessing Mr. Sutter will be bringing that up in the intermission, he won't be happy at all.

Florida has a great team, but some of these things are basic hockey, like clearing the front, brutal giveaways, etc. Unforced errors.

Only caught the last 8 minutes but it looks like a heavyweight tilt. That was a great PK until the Thornton tip.

[timbit]

Rasmus with as bad a period as a D can have.

Wakey Wakey!

Are they?

I see a team getting all the luck. And kind of annoying.

[Saqe]

This is how the Panthers play every game at home, they'll willingly exchange chances all night.

[dino7c]

Even period...they had the powerplays and took advantage plus a bounce is the difference

It's embarrassing for the league given the Panthers are one of the most exciting teams, especially at home.

I'd really like to check out a Flames game in Florida one of these days. I almost had a chance once when we went down for a cruise but it just didn't work out. In the past Amex would periodically send me deals for Panthers/Flames tickets and I think that Amex has, or had, a pretty sweet lounge at the arena.

Especially if the calls only go obe way

[KipperFaNaTic]

Kind of reminds me of the Vegas game a little bit with a good home team playing at their peak and the flames a step behind.

We need the match the Panthers intensity or else this game can get away.

There's a reason they're at the top of the NHL and near the tops in every metric.

Great hockey club. Incredible depth.

IDK, Flames were better 5 on 5
