Injuries catch up to Cats, downed 4-0 by Boston
Not good. Not good at all. The Panthers played a few competitive stretches here and there - the effort was visible, at least after the first period - but the Bruins are as strong as any club in the league, and it showed in 3-D.
Cats' goalie Anderson went helmet-on-helmet with Boston's Patrice Bergeron in the third - a three-goal lead had already been assembled - forcing the netminder to turn the reigns over to Tomas Vokoun...who promptly allowed the fourth goal. No matter. This one was over long before.
Can it finally be said the Panthers have run out of gas? The loss of Horton, Booth, Stillman, Allen, etc. has perhaps taken its toll? Pray for health, Florida fans. And pray often.
Kudos to the Bruins and their management for constructing a seriously bad ass team.

The only thing exciting about this game was the inflatable cow bouncing off the ice dancers stage……as the ice dancers “bounced” in return…..
and their bells

still plenty of gas
i’m not worriet just yet….every team can have a game like this, even good ones. looking at the big picture, they are still playing thier best hockey of the season. a couple more stinkers and then we’re back to square one, but a good road trip and we are still right on track.
Dont give up Whale4ever…you are the new fearless leader of the Panther online community. :o)
Thanks, DPD. We’re not dead by any stretch. Just a bit disheartening to see the lack of jump in the first period, which inevitably did them in. Still a long way to go.

where was Belak... oops..
I thought that when Bergeron ran into Anderson, somebody should have pounded him. Intentional or not, it was a point to DO SOMETHING. It was 3-0. The game was essentially over. It was time to show a little backbone. Instead, we get JayBo handing Bergeron’s stick back to him?!?!?!? Give me a break…
