00:00Celsius hockey fans. Don't sit this one out. It's game time make Celsius a part of your play and get that energy up game
00:05day is fueled by Celsius essential energy drinks the official energy drink of
00:09Your Florida Panthers been a bumpy road to repeat right now. Oh my goodness
00:18So I
00:20Was preparing for the game because
00:24That was my gonna be like my ride home, right
00:27Turn on the TV turn on the radio put it on my car and then I hear these words
00:36Here's who's out for the Panthers roof. I'm like, holy smokes
00:43Yep, they had a very big graphic for yesterday was a national TV game
00:47And they put on it Matthew could Chuck out with the groin
00:50Matthew could Chuck out with the groin Aaron Eckblad suspended to meet you Kulikov upper body Nico Sturm upper body
00:58Alexander Barkov upper body and then Paul Marie's just basically said to the end of the road trip
01:03You know what Sam Bennett Sam Reinhardt goose for Gustav Forsling. Just sit. We'll play some young guys up from the checkers
01:12Do you feel like they're kind of like, you know what it doesn't matter as long as we get in I will be fine
01:17Well, I think they really need to get healthy. They need to get healthy
01:21I think that they're ending basically with all home games in one Tampa game
01:25I think that they were done with this road trip. I think I had some brutal road trips about and and very rarely
01:32like
01:34You've never heard suppose say this
01:37But very rarely. Do you hear a coach?
01:40Talk about the toll that is putting on his players
01:43With the back-to-backs on the road and then long road trips and stuff like that
01:49He's been kind of saying that all year. Hmm that my guys are giving effort. We're just going down
01:54he said that a number of times so I'm just kind of sitting back and like
02:00You know
02:02Everybody to be healthy
02:03But that you know, it's also they haven't won a game in regulation in
02:08What almost three weeks right, you know like so yes, right hanged up but also have blown some games
02:16You have not been able to close games out in typical Panthers fashion
02:20And and honestly like can't score like that's the other thing is that that some of it
02:27I think is bad luck. Like I think you know, you looked at like Saturday's game and I mean, holy hell
02:32I mean, they they it was a fire. It was a
02:36Firestorm in front of the net none of them will go in Anton Forsberg at a 40 point 40 save shut out against them and
02:43They lose a game Bob
02:46Bob only sees 21 shots. They lose 19 saves
02:49They lose three nothing. So
02:52You know like there is yes, there is a little bit of
02:56They can't seem to bang in pucks right now. Part of it is they're having to mix lines together
03:02They're trying to mix together the power play. They don't have guys in there
03:05You know, I guess the only positive about it is like Sam Miscavige is getting a ton of experience out here
03:10he seems like he's been playing red-hot, but
03:12You know, they really haven't gotten Martian going either
03:16It's been uh, it's been a rough one man. It's been it's been a rough go of it
03:20They got a big one coming up tomorrow against the Leafs
03:23If they're gonna have any late rally, although it seems pretty I think there's six back right now with five to play
03:30Not impossible, but it's uh, it would take a hell of a run to make this happen and Toronto falling off
03:38Marcos what did you put out here?
03:41I'm scared to say anything now because Google but I promise I'm doing my best to look it up if this is correct
03:46Which I believe it is Panthers have traveled the second most miles this season once the season said and done
03:52They should be somewhere around 51,000 miles. Does that include Finland? I
03:56Believe so. Yes, it does include Finland when I saw an article and the only other team to do more is the Dallas Stars
04:04Hmm, and they also went to Finland. It's probably why it's seeing their record
04:1150 and 22 at the moment
04:1322 and 5 and was
04:1644 29 and 4
04:21It's been it's like if
04:23Not to mention you just coming off of a seven game finals
04:30Yep. Yeah, so
04:33Well two trips. I mean they're trying to make their third trip to the to the final like this is you know
04:38but this is the thing with them is
04:41You're gonna give them the benefit of the doubt because they are a champion and they have been far
04:46And I think they deserve that and I think that everybody who's in there, you know, this is gonna be an East
04:50That's gonna be pretty tough pretty tough, but I think also doesn't mean we can't be nervous
04:56Yeah, yeah, I think and I think mostly it's with the you know, the question marks with bringing in, you know
05:06Is everybody gonna just drop out of the sky and be ready to roll like you would like them playing a little bit better
05:11Going into it and you'd feel better about infiltrating kachuk and infiltrating Aaron Eckblad if you were playing a little smoother
05:19One of the things I appreciate about
05:21Paul Maurice
05:23He never confuses playing well or poorly on wins and losses and
05:30so
05:32When I hear him talk
05:35It kind of gives me a better feeling of where the team is
05:39Mm-hmm, right because he'll tell you I didn't like the way we did this. I don't like this and
05:45Or he'll say look we're playing good hockey
05:49We're just you know coming up a little bit short. He'll say that and it'll make me feel better
05:53The good news is this was kind of goosey's. All right, one piece of good news
05:58The Panthers did officially clinch the playoffs. So that's that piece of business is done
06:01Not the surprise, but they did officially do it this weekend. And when they did it, that's when he didn't play everybody
06:08Matthew kachuk posts on Instagram
06:13Soon I was like
06:19You can't play before the playoffs
06:24What is he saying
06:26We know this no, no, no, no, but like people. Hey, was he gonna be back? Is he gonna be under that Matthew kachuk?
06:33Hey, just guess you were wondering. He's just like knock-knock. I was there
06:38We got a new we got a newcomer
06:41under Spartan
06:43Tobin is mac and cheese sandwiches
06:46I
06:59Tell you what damn those little mac and cheese balls because I gotta be honest. Oh, man
07:04You know, this is viral chick-fil-a hack. They tell you to put the mac and cheese on the chicken sandwich
07:08Hmm, thanks too much too much. That's what I feel for your eyes
07:12I'll tell you what. I did find the one with the pimento cheese
07:17Tasty and I don't like pimento cheese at all. But which you know, it pimento cheese is famous for right? Oh
07:24Yes, the Masters the Masters
07:27They have pimento pimento cheese sandwiches for like $2. This is our week. By the way, dude
07:32We got UFC Miami week and we got a Masters week. Yep
07:38What a week what a week but Matthew kachuk posts
07:42soon, I
07:45Don't know if it was in that tone, but that's how I read it
07:49Yeah, but you already know the parameters of his return
07:54So what does that mean? Just get ready because I think if any Panthers fan was worried like oh, he's not gonna be ready
08:01He's that now he's letting you know
08:03soon
08:05Why wouldn't that excite you I mean it does but I always thought that he was going to
08:13return
08:14for the playoffs
08:20The heat-clenched cheeks
08:25We'll take a break
