RECAPS

November 26th       vs. Columbus           W 2-1   SO

Roberto Luongo was lights out. He made a ton of saves and the Panthers have to thank him for keeping them in it. Barkov would win it in the shootout but Lu is the real MVP.

MVP: Roberto Luongo

 

November 27th  @ Carolina               L 2-3

PANTHERS GOALS: Marchessault (10) and Ekblad (6)

MVP: Michael Leighton

November 29th @ Chicago           L 1-2 SO

Corey Crawford. Was. Spectacular. We should’ve beat Chicago if not for Crawford. He was awesome for the Hawks. Jagr would get the lone goal for the Panthers. Luongo also held his own but the shootout would be his demise

PANTHERS GOAL: Jagr (4)

MVP: Corey Crawford

PANTHER MVP: Luongo

 

December 1st  @ Detroit            W 2-1 OT

The Panthers missed a ton of shots in this game but Aleksander Barkov’s gorgeous overtime winner would seal the deal as the Panthers would come away with a win one last time at the Joe Louis Arena.

However, what happened was that the Panthers offered to get Gallant a car from their car service but Gallant wanted to take a cab. Gallant said what I just said was true on Thursday.
