Catfish and a half right there! I hear the Hendrick Cup car is running GT3 times at Le Mans! Not sure it'll last 24 hours, but hope it does!
edit: Panthers look like dog :poop: .. 0-11 on the PP to Vegas 6-15. They'll get swept if they don't find something here in the 3rd period.

Signs of life have been discovered in Sunrise FLA. WOOT! Apparently if they can hang on and get it to OT, they can actually win a playoff game. Kind of a unique game plan, but okay.
That Tkachuk guy is something else. Talk about carrying a team. I think BOB is going to have to throw a shutout to win this series. Cats are anemic scorers.
The PP made me think I was watching the Caps not the Cats. Oof.
And FFS....DID the NHL mandate Vegas win this? Some of these calls are starting to look....suspect. I'd be seriously losing my shit if I were on the FLA bench for some of these calls. I mean...game changers...potentially series altering....and it's the Cup Finals we're talking about.
Fuck Vegas. GO CATS!!

FLA wins in OT :)
Hershey gets smoked 5-0 in California
:(

Bob is/was the MVP last night. Surprised they scored to tie the game, but with the goalie pulled they finally got a decent rebound. But Bob kept them from losing handily within the 60 minutes. That PP is weak. I don't follow them, but I assume they have no goal scorers other than Tkachuck?

I did not realize Vegas had 2 PPG in all three games of this series. FLA needs to stay out of the box...even though only some of that is under their control.
Bob will need likely NEED to be the MVP of this series in order for FLA to win. (and he didn't get off to a good start)
I didn't know Tkachuk was a 1st round pick. He was drafted 1st round 6th overall in 2016 as an 18 year old and played 76 games his draft year. He's only 25. He's a 40G scorer the last two years. He scored 100+ points the last two seasons. I didn't know he was that prolific a scorer. I couldn't understand why Calgary would let him go, but he was an RFA and wanted to move. FLA signed him to an eight year deal (9.5m per season). He and Barkoff are signed thru 2029-30.
Cats are only middle of the pack in salary Cap overall and will have tons of cash next year (and the need for a bunch of guys). They are definitely short on D. They have Ekblad thru 24-25 and Montour thru next year, and two waiver pickups thru next season, one waiver pickup UFA, and another UFA-G6 guy, then Gudas (33) and Staal (36) who are UFA end of season. FLA will be shopping for some D this summer (they should be able to attract some)
Their cupboard is really bare on D, but they will have plenty of $$ to spend to fill spots. Current projected cap spending for next year is 67.3m, but they need to fill 4D, 4F positions
Basically....FLA core guys are all good for next season and they have plenty of spots to fill and some cash to do it. Compare their near future potential to the Caps and its embarrassing (for the Caps)
Go CATS!
