TO THE TWITTER FOLKS
PANTHERS TWITTER NEEDS TO CALM DOWN!! It’s still early in the season and we aren’t at full strength. I am so sick and tired of these people saying we are garbage after EVERY SINGLE LITTLE LOSS! We are shorthanded and will be a scary team at full strength. I hate Twitter now and I believe that creating an account was probably the worst decision of my life. I enjoyed talking to some of you but I have had enough. I am shutting down my account tomorrow night so if you want to keep in touch, please DM me your email at @sun_puck. Or just use the contact form at the bottom. Also please check reddit to find if I posted a new post there. My user name is the same as my twitter handle and I will always post on a Friday.
LINE CHANGES
Gerard Gallant may be making line up changes tomorrow. Per Harvey Fialkov these could be the changes:
Marchessault-Barkov-Jagr
Sceviour-Trocheck-Smith
McCann-Malgin-Harper
Thornton-MacKenzie-McKegg
