no playoffs this season
Don’t worry every team has a few of these blowouts during the season. The panthers will be okay it’s a long season .
It's been a long road trip for the cats. I'm hoping things will get better soon!
Paul Maurice and his thugs [team], show to all, when they can't Purposely brain someone on the boards, that they are barely an average NHL team.
