Wow, great game last night and now it will be a test to see if they Wild can follow it up. The Panthers are a bit of a Jekyll & Hyde team, they score a lot but they also give up a ton of goals. Minnesota will have to dig deep, but I certainly think they can do it. Enjoy and discuss... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexandron Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Agree LIG, the Panthers team is a not a simple team to beat. It is also having a very productive players. Our team should be prepared mentally for a hard work there to play against them. Easy games are practically not existing for us till the end of the season.

ClusterChuck Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Normally I'd think there'd be a drop off from such a great performance the night before against the #1 team. But with the new guys providing such a spark, This time it feels different. Stalock should get the start, But watch BB go with the hot hand. Either way I'm hoping for more offensive zone time tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Panthers are a fast, hard working bunch....but their depth has always been a big question. Oh, and they have this guy in net, Roberto Luongo….still pretty good even into his 'old age'. Anyways, yea, this should be a test of mental toughness....no letdowns after beating the Lightning in impressive fashion. Panthers WILL outwork teams and if given the chance, will run up the score. But if the Wild play anything CLOSE to what they put on display against TB, then Florida may find themselves shell shocked as they have neither the talent depth nor the defense core equal to the Lightning. I like the Wild's depth and speed to do well against this team. Hopefully, whomever is in net is up to the task. Go Wild GO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimtown guy Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 From playing in a packed arena in TB to one that may get 7000 fans in Miami. There could be more Wild fans than Panther fans tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
