But I'm just curious, one goalie to another. What's your goaltending Mount Rushmore currently?

Well, he's only, what, 26 behind Gretzky. And if he misses, let's say, 20 games, he's still going to come back with like half the season. So as long as you can hit the ground running, it's certainly within the realm of the ground running.

It was a more traditional Panthers game, especially after those two games against the Devils. They four-checked, they hit, they scored five goals. Defense was pretty solid. Just overall, it was nice to see them get back to playing Panthers hockey after those two games against the Devils that were a little rough. A little rough stuff.

But unfortunately, while we thought, while we hoped that this was the Panthers kind of getting back on track, it was more just a one-off because the next couple of games we're going to get into right now are not great.

Back-to-back, back-to-backs.

Back-to-back, back-to-backs.

Yeah, a little closer than the score would indicate because of the two late empty net goals. Special teams were a little funky in this one. Overall, the Panthers are having a hard time getting back into their game. They're not forechecking the way they usually are.

It's really been in the neutral zone that they've been having trouble, whether it's the Jets or we'll get to the Blackhawks in a second. But both teams doing a really good job of keeping Florida's zone exits a little bit murky and not letting them have the fluidity that they're used to. And as a result, Florida's sputtering a little bit right now.

Very frustrating.

Yeah, this felt a little bit more like a Panthers game defensively, but offensively they just couldn't get anything going. And credit to the Blackhawks, as you said, the worst team in the league right now, but they played some pretty solid defense, particularly in the Panthers zone, trying to keep Florida from exiting the zone and moving through the neutral zone.

Florida just couldn't get anything going. They couldn't get any speed defensively. They couldn't even get deep enough to dump it. They were having a hard time. Once they got in the zone, they'd keep pressure. Once they got in the zone, they kept zone time sustainable. I think they had over five minutes of zone possession time last night. It was just getting there that was a really hard time.
