  1. Can people stop rushing to be the first to have news which causes everyone to catastrophize for no fucking reason lol. Pomo could just be coping but “better than we originally thought” sounds great to me after reading that earlier tweet

  2. Ok I take back my original comment, it’s only like 2-3 9/11s (depending on how the next couple of games go)

  3. I don’t understand how he’s weekly. Either it’s broken and he’s out for months or it’s not broken and he can play. How is that week to week?

  4. We have a two game lead in the series. Benny can afford to rest for a week and come back to either put the Bolts away if needed, or come in fresh for round two.

  5. Again, Andy slater has no ties to the panthers or the NHL. He’s a glorified AM radio host who tries to stir shit

  6. On one hand, if true, this is great news.

    On the other hand, this is Maurice, and one week is Maurice speak for one month.

  7. So what will the lines look like with him out? Do we move Carter to the middle and Cousins back to LW? Or do we keep Lundell in the middle like last night? If we do the latter, is stenlund then the third line center? Does Lorentz lead the fourth line? (reposted from the other thread bc im genuinely curious)

  8. My read based on my nothing more than speculation…Bennett probably has a micro fracture or nasty bone bruise and will play in a Game 7 versus Tampa if needed, but the team will try to win this series without him. Deciphering the coaches’ playoff fog machine…least a week is three games.

    Did anybody see if it was his dominant hand? It would probably be worse for him going forward if it was.

  9. But but the guys said that he heard from a reliable source he was out for a long period!
