Yeah, Paul Murray said, “Hey, he’s strong willed 
and he plays through a lot.” That’s the bottom line. The opening faceoff is sponsored by Rooms 
to Go. Quinton Biffield, the big center for LA, back in the lineup. He missed last game with 
an illness. What a run Marian’s on. 19 goals to lead the team. Wraparound attempt. Terasov got 
the goal stick out there. Next goal for Marian will be yet another 20goal season. done that 
every year of his career except for one when he was 24 years old and only played half a season

feed out in front. Terasov makes the save and chases with Edmonson. Greer gets physical. 
Puck three in the corner. Samoske gets more now. A shot from the boards is stopped by 
Forsber. That’s what they were calling it this morning. Gold. Paul Maurice was asking the 
same thing. Here’s Londell shooting. Blocked away. Landell again. Save and covered. So yeah, they 
played one year that league. So that’s where those jerseys and the uniforms are from. Here’s

feed. Armia shot deflected save. Terasov trying to get the whistle and he does. You watch Sam 
Reinhardt scored four goals. The Panthers blew out the Oilers to win the cup again over Edmonton. 
I mentioned that a couple times this year. Kings reset. Clark up at the blue line with 
a wrist shot. Score. Deflected in. Perry was out in front. So was Arma. And LA breaks out 
on top. And you’ll see there’s Perry going to be in front there. Number 40. Arma. He’s the 
first one to touch it and might have been double deflected. Either way, Perry took the eyes away 
from Terasoft. There’s the first tip. And I think the only tip and it went straight down and then 
it hit the ice and watch the bounce of the puck and then goes right through Terasoft. Bennett 
centering feed for Verhi. Tip puck. Maran after it. Bennett picks up the loose change. Petri at 
the point lets it go. Love save. Now everybody joins in. Three aside in the LA zone along the 
wall. There’s a shot loster in and is stopped. gets to the loose puck. Here’s Eklad. Now Petri 
now Samvich shooting save Forsber. Final minute of the period sponsored by Anna Jar and Lavine. 
Panthers keep it alive. Lundell in deep has a man. It’s Samuskevich and Foresberg makes the 
stop. He anticipates. There’s Lundell. So he’ll activate. Look at how he comes and puts puts 
himself in a better shooting position. Don’t stay in the boards. Got full control of the 
puck. He gets it on a stick and lets it fly. try to move out in front. Still has it. 
Clark up high. Fiala again. Now Clark’s one-time steered away. Brad Marian on it. 
The work continues now. Loena gets it up high. Elad. Here’s Rodriguez moving 
in shooting. Save. Rebound loose and it’s kicked over to the boards. They got a 
good look there for Evan Rodriguez. Here’s Samoskevich back for Ecklad at the line. 
Samoskevich. Ecklad straight on. Gets it towards the net. Score. Deflected out in 
front. Lundell was there and the Panthers cash it in. We’re even. Lundelle. The Panthers 
work it back. Ekllet gets his head up. Okay, we got bodies in front. There’s the deflection 
from Lundell. Well, for Lendell, that’s that’s his fourth goal in the last five games. And 
including in there is a couple of gamewinners. A look from behind the net. There he goes back 
to the point. Lendell. Okay, I’m going to take the eyes away from Fors from the goalender. Oh, 
great look and patience by Brad Marian. Here he is again. Knocked off his stick. He battles and 
holds it in. Marian forgi stopped by Forsber. Brad Marshan. Terrific work and he comes again. 
Shoots. Forsber got it with the shoulder. That play all started by the turnover forced 
by Bolinskus. Now Verhaney with a chance. Glove save. Oh, the Cats out of the room in 
the second period with a vengeance. Anderson tried the stretch pass. Perry put it deep in the 
Florida zone. Panthers right on it. Petri Verhagy and they’re out. Bhagy and Marian together. Nice 
feed. Marian’s got waits it out. Has a man. Petri slap shot blocked away. Here’s Haiti. Score. 
They’ve got the lead. Bennett was out in front and chaos ensued. Look at Marian just slips 
it back. Petri drives it. Goes off the LA King player. The swing around and I don’t know. Did 
that go off of Bennett’s skate? Verhiggy shot. We’ll get a better look at it, but either way, 
the Panthers have the lead. Here’s the turnaround shot from Verhagy. Off the pad. No, I don’t. I 
think it’s Verhaggy’s goal. Oh my goodness. Very. Nine goals in the last 11 games. Panthers get 
two. Man, is he something else? Talked to Paul Maurice this morning about him. says, “Hey, 
he’s just gotten better and better.” Then it weaves his way in. Put it to the wing for the 
shot. Save by Forsber. Oh, Marian had a chance. Ecklad sends it ahead. Cats are 
coming again. It’s a threeon two. Marian with Bennett. Here’s Bennett off 
his stick though. And then stolen away. And Trevor Moore has got a breakaway in on 
Terasov. The fake and the save by Terasov. the net. One stopped by Denil Terasel. Keep the 
Panthers up a goal. Loose puck. Petri steps in for a shot. Safe. Rebound. Oh, just out of the 
reach. Rodriguez. Rodriguez Jones again. They’re moving it well. Rodriguez now works his way to 
the middle of the ice. Turns and shoots. Save by Forsber Arma. Gives to Douty. His shot saved by 
Terasov. He’s able to gather in the rebound. Still no whistle though. And now he’s got Hegy’s pass. 
Just tipped away at the last second by the Kings. Now Perry at the Panther net flips it off the 
post. He’s got it behind the net though. Anderson moves in. Terrace on the save and the cover and 
Greer makes sure Anderson gets no closer to the Panthers net and the Panthers win that battle. 
Lubis Bolinska solid work. Luke Cunning in after the puck. Takes a shot. Borsburg will swallow it 
up. Kopitar gets to it behind the Panther net. Edmonson wrist shot. Oh, that hit the post. The faceoff sponsored by Rooms to 
Go. And here we go in the third and it goes deep into the LA zone. 
Marian’s got sends it towards the foot to score. Sam Bennett from Brad 
Marian. 10 seconds into the period. Maran goal number 444 if he got it but it’s 
Bennett and three to one. Turn the puck over here. Here’s Marsh and he sees Bennett coming in. 
Oh, Bennett. Yeah, went right off of his stick and right over the shoulder underneath the crossbar. 
Bennett’s going to get credit with this goal right there. I believe it goes off his stick short 
side on Forsber 10 seconds into the third period. Kenco puts it out in front. Teras off. 
A great save. The rebound followed by Moore is blocked. Loose out in front. 
Another shot. Misses. Good third period team anyway. They’re going to be coming. They 
win the draw. Edmonson shot. That’s off the post. That was on the inside of the post 
and kicked out. LA has come back in games all season long and one of the reasons why 
is they their percentages up near the line. And Rodriguez sends it on goal. That’s a 
couple of terrific ships by the Panthers. He’s definitely one of his many as Oh boy. That 
deflected into the net. My goodness. A clearing attempt off the faceoff. Deflects and goes into 
the Panther net. It’s three to two. Unreal. Watch Forsling here. Panthers win the puck. He’s going 
to try and find Marian. It goes off the shin pad. right there of Viala and goes somehow finds a way 
in behind Terasoft. Look it off the shin pad and right off the post and up to the point. Petri 
winds and fires. Knocked down in front. Look out. Man ahead breakaway. Trevor Moore. Saved

broke his stick. Fia shoots. Saved by Terasov and we get the whistle. Their penalty killing 
over the last seven games and they needed it. A lot of desperation plays out there. Here’s 
the final shot and Terasoft gets control of it. Just 1 second left in Lundell’s penalty. 
LA will get a timeout to rest their stars and seconds on the wing. Perry back 
for Bfield. Stolen away. Seth Jones. And the Panthers will make it three straight

  1. Man I hate the Panthers, never watched a highlights where the announcers are sooooo clearly home team fans. Usually it's not that blatant, and more well rounded on these highlights..
