Big loss not having Mikkola tonight not to mention Rhino and Greer. Within the first five minutes our D was under attack the entire game no question. The way Mikkola has upped his game it was like we lost two guys with one player. Apart from the empty netters Bob kept us in the game within a goal….score could have easily been 4-0 anytime during the game. Hopefully the boys will close escrow this week.
Now we have to risk more injuries with more games. The guys still haven’t learned how to close out a series unless it’s game 7, pretty damn concerning. Don’t care if we’re up 3-1, just look back to last year SCF…. We needed the rest badly. So irritated.
The loss I don't care about. But it's disappointing that the effort or energy wasn't great in a close out game.
We didn't shoot enough and we didn't finish our checks enough. Canes played well.
This was a bad one
Its 1 game. I sure the boys will respond
While his points make sense and it's just one game. However, would have loved to see a sweep or at leats some effort from the Panthers side. Looked like a very low-energy performance from them
He’s hilarious
No big deal they will take next game
Maybe we are not as deep as we thought we were….
Cut out the best line in the interview!! Canes played hard and deserved the win. Hopefully we’ll regroup and close it out tomorrow.
For some reason, it’s just difficult for anyone to win 4 straight. It’s just not going to happen at this level. Carolina will probably win another one. It will be panthers in 6.
We need to close this out tomorrow…need recovery time to get ready for the finals. Go Cats!
I like the accountability. They’ll be fine. Changing d-man pairing is always risky with our team. They need a game to get the timing.
