Je sais que ce n’est pas comme ça qu’on voulait que ça se termine. Personne ne veut être soufflé dans un jeu d’élimination. Mais avant de commencer à vous plaindre de l’arbitrage ou de tout ce dont vous allez vous plaindre, arrêtez-vous et souvenez-vous de certaines choses. Nous sommes à un an de la Coupe du Président, avec un nouvel entraîneur, un nouveau système et nous avons échangé le mec qui possédait tout un tas de records de franchise (jusqu’à ce que Barky le détrône de la plupart d’entre eux). Qu’avons-nous accompli avec tout cela ? Presque du jamais vu. La deuxième année + d’un coach est généralement celle où tout s’enchaîne et s’enclenche. AUSSI VRAIMENT IMPORTANT: Nous avons un espace de plafond pour la saison prochaine puisque l’augmentation massive du rachat de Yandle vient des livres. Nous n’avons que 1 241 667 $ d’argent mort l’année prochaine. Traduction : Nous avons de la flexibilité. Notre seul UFA se dirige vers l’intersaison? Celui qui doit re-signer à mon humble avis – Gudas. Outre The Butcher, nous avons Staals, Lucas Carlson, Casey Fitzgerald, Alex Lyon et Horney. Horney est très probablement fait en tant que joueur. RFA ? Givani Smith et Colin White. C’est ça. Cette liste est établie pour la saison prochaine. (Il y a des accords qui DEVRAIENT être conclus cette intersaison pour les UFA expirant l’été prochain, mais c’est une autre discussion pour un autre jour). Cette série a prouvé à maintes reprises que nous avons besoin de sérieuses améliorations défensives et je croise les doigts, c’est ce que Zito a prévu. Nous avons Barky et Chucky pour encore 7 ans ensemble. Nous allons bien. Cela pique et craint, mais si je dois être vraiment honnête – je préfère perdre la série là-bas, puis les faire revenir à la maison et le faire sur la glace à domicile. Je ne serais pas capable de gérer un adversaire qui patine avec la coupe sur notre glace. \*toutes les situations de plafond salarial/contrat proviennent de : [https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/panthers](https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/panthers) \*

Appreciate your post. The finish isn’t always great. But the ride has been awesome.
This team has a real window ahead of it. But who knows. You never do. Proud of this run. Sucks to see the blowout. But Vegas is legit.
And don’t forget, this wasn’t supposed to be our year. We got our first finals win ever, and the core is locked up. We have a great future ahead of us. This Vegas team is playing in a way that can’t be beat. People had oilers or Boston winning. And Vegas made oilers look bad, too. We have to see next year as a new season, and this is us learning how the finals work. Crosby lost in the finals before he lifted the cup. We have to think of that. Chucky will raise a cup in Florida, it’s just not now.
In all honesty the Panthers were never supposed to get past Boston. While this series with Vegas is disappointing and the Cats were outplayed throughout this series, the first 3 rounds were fairytale like. What a gift for panthers fans, a deep playoff run by a team who squeaked in and upset the best regular season team in history. Hats off to the boys for a hard fought and well played playoffs. I’m sure they’ve won over a much deeper fan base along the way to cheer them on next year.
Better team won.
I just cant stand how mean spirited Vegas fans are. Theyre such sore winners its frustrating. If my team won the cup id be to overjoyed to be mean
Leafs fan. Doesnt look good guys. Dont hang your heads. Theres only one team thats outlasted you guys. The rest have been golfing for weeks already. The path you took to get here was epic. If this sub is any indication of your fanbase, you guys have been classy all through the playoffs. Ive been chatting here since our series and only ever got one kinda rude comment. You guys had a large chunk of the league pulling for you. Vegas is a hell of a hockey team. Cheers, great run.
I’m glad we made it this far, even if we lose. Its been so long and I’m not taking it for granted, I will always cherish this run.
IN ZITO WE TRUST
Tonight I’m devastated. Tomorrow I’ll be sad. In a few days, I’ll be okay with this. Give it awhile, and this will be the most exciting playoff run I’ve ever witnessed.
I went to my first Stanley Cup game, and got to see my favorite team at home! Fuck, I’m feeling better already.
Love this post and can’t wait to see what happens in the off season!
I had a blast this post season. In the end, no complaints
💯
I am super proud of this team! Definitely need to work on that power play next season!
Let’s go Cats!!!!!
Well said. This was such an incredible post season and I can’t wait to see what happens in the offseason
We can all take pride in the fact that two Florida teams took two Boston teams out of postseason play.
Good job, Cats. Hell of a ride. We’ll get ’em again next season.
This feels like shit now but I’m glad we got destroyed this game rather than losing by 1 late. That roster is fucking loaded and we finished in 17th place. Karlsson is a first line player playing on their 3rd line. That team was already stacked before they got Eichel. Sucks that we had to be the team to lose to them but what a fucking run this was. If we can overcome the Bob contract and add some actual depth to our roster we are golden.
putting $1k down on us winning the cup next year
Best season? I doubt it, last year was infinitely better for the Panthers. Best Playoffs? Yes.
As an avs fan, this was my favourite team to root for in the playoffs and final. Definitely got you guys as my second team now after that run, onto bigger and better things next season! Head up cats fans, be proud of what the team achieved this year
