Whistle went eons before it crossed, hurry it up
Three distinct whistles before it even gets close to the goal line.

Wow, best game of the year! Felt like a playoff game...Didn't think I could despise Bennett any more than I already did, but here we are.

Listened to the comeback in the car and was as happy about the Bennett beatdown as I was about the GWG. I might need some further moral education.

Yeah...I know we want better draft picks but I can't root for the B's to lose- especially when they play with the kind of energy and enthusiasm they have the last two games.

Same here.

Might just be a post-deadline bump where the pressure is off and there's been an infusion of youthful energy but that was one of if not the most entertaining hockey game they've played this year. The playoff math is still pretty grim (up to 8.5% on HockeyRef!) but if that can put that product on the ice for the remaining 16 games, I'd be happy, draft pick be damned. As I said the math is bleak but they have a meaningful hockey game Thursday in Ottawa. Just take it one at a time.

Would be pretty exciting if they did though. If they keep showing up like this, I'm all aboard the playoff train.

Friendly reminder the 2023 Panthers had 66 points through 63 games and were tied with 3 other teams for the 9th spot in the East, 4 points out of a playoff spot. Crazier things have happened.

(I know, too soon)

Swayman will need to carry the team on his back from here on out if that were to happen. It's the least he could do given that he's largely responsible for where the team is at today.

The book on him this year is out; go high-glove early and often.

Loved last night, though — more of that, please. I especially like the Mittelstadt/Pastrnak connection — and so it seemed, did they.
