Ghostsof1915 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 But right now they have the second best record in the NHL. 30 games, 20 wins, 6 losses and 4 overtime losses. Is this just a division thing with everyone feasting on Detroit? The magic of Joel Quenneville? The Barkov effect? A great goaltending tandem? Ekblad doing Ekblad things? Thoughts? Or just a covid mirage? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam126 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 (edited) I am cheering for the Panthers as my second team, I really like what's going on for them this season. I think they're for real, they have the pieces in place to be a great team but they underachieved the past couple of years, I think this is a breakthrough season and the fact that they are beating and going toe-to-toe with the likes of Tampa and Carolina and they are beating the teams they should beat at the bottom half of their division. Maybe they are just overperforming and I will be wrong when next season they are 10th in the East again but I think they are legit.

#Canucks Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 (edited) I always thought their team was underperforming. I am hoping they are finally putting it together. I don’t see them being second best in a normal season, but maybe top 5 in the east potentially. I have always liked Florida.

Coconuts Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 They've got the pieces to be better than they've been the last few seasons, but even so, they've done better than I thought they would. Particularly having lost Hoffman and Dadonov. Playing Detroit has probably helped, but it's not as if they don't have talented players and a coach with a long history of success. It'll be interesting to see whether they can sustain it, or carry it over to next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Pettersson Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Probably has to do with Luongo and what he’s doing behind the scenes really... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I'm just really eager to see if they can get to the second round of the playoffs. Then I'll be genuinely excited for them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizmo2337 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Quenneville has them playing to their potential. He's one heck of a coach! No idea why Chicago let the guy go. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has them believing that anything can happen in a season like this and it’s working well so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 This is the power of a true NHL coach and Quinneville is one of the best in history, but he has some nice pieces to work with, very similar core to his Chicago dynasty and he looks like he could make another one with this young Florida core.

King Heffy Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Hopefully Ekblad recovers fully. He was finally becoming the stud that he was capable of, and now this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
