The Panthers know how to play, and the fact that it is a Florida derby makes this game more important. An excellent match and well done to the Cats. 9 goals against Tampa is no small feat.

And there was another one very recently in Nashville too. We have seen a 10 spot twice this season as well. I'm waiting for that elusive 11 goal game from someone.

Credit to the Tampa fans that stayed and were cheering when the Bolts cut it to 9-2, that was an absolute beatdown. Statement of intent from the Panthers. Florida is red!

Yeah. Tampa only needed 7 more goals to tie it.

You're right, everyone is looking at the score, but the shots on goal was pretty even throughout. The highlights make it look like Bob had a night off, but TB only had 2 fewer shots on goal. Bob still stopped 28 out of 30.

[@TheRiverweasel09]

Yes, because any random NHL or AHL caliber goalie couldn't have kept the score total to eight or less. Certainly not, right?
