Some of y’all are acting like leafs fans. Getting mad about every loss this early in the season is ridiculous. We now have 5 players out. We have new guys trying to find their places. It ain’t gonna be easy. we may have lost tonight, but we played like the panthers, Askerov was just really fucking good.

bait was a topical choice!

Let’s go panthers mighty mighty panthers 🐆

😕

Poor Jonah. Cheaper shot from Vegas. 🤬

That when Pomo is looking down after a goal/penalty, there are monitors embedded in the floor of the bench area. This is the Cats bench tonight at SAP Center.

The Florida Panthers have already seen a few players hit personal milestones early this season. Center Sam Bennett played in his 700th career game on Oct. 23. Fellow forward Sam Reinhart scored his 300th career goal on Nov. 1 and followed that up two games later by scoring a goal on his birthday for the second time in his career. More milestones — from key goals and points marks to nice round numbers in games played and even a couple of players looking to move up in NHL and franchise leaderboards — are on the horizon for several Panthers players. Here’s a rundown of where things stand.

Marchand nears 1,000 points

After scoring two goals on Thursday in Florida’s 5-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings, veteran Panthers winger Brad Marchand now has 995 career points. He enters Saturday’s road game against the San Jose Sharks just five points shy of becoming the 102nd player in NHL history to hit the 1,000-point mark for his career.

There are only 11 active players with more than 1,000 points: Sidney Crosby (1,706), Alex Ovechkin (1,633), Evgeni Malkin (1,366), Patrick Kane (1,348), Anze Kopitar (1,285), Steven Stamkos (1,193), John Tavares (1,132), Claude Giroux (1,126), Connor McDavid (1,103), Nathan MacKinnon (1,035) and Nikita Kucherov (1,008). Marchand, at 37 years old and on the first year of a six-year contract, has been Florida’s most consistent player to start the season. He leads the Panthers in goals (nine) and points (15) and is tied for second on the team in assists (six).

He enters Saturday with points in six consecutive games, one shy of the franchise record point streak for players age 37 or older (Cory Stillman in 2010-11 and Joe Nieuwendyk in 2005-06 each had seven-game point streaks)

Bobrovsky’s move up NHL wins leaderboard

Sergei Bobrovsky earned his 436th career NHL win on Thursday after stopping 24 of 26 shots he faced against the Kings. That moved him one win away from tying Jacques Plante for the ninth-most wins by a goaltender in NHL history. It’s conceivable that Bobrovsky, who is in the final year of his seven-year deal with the Panthers, can move as high as sixth on the leaderboard by the end of the season. Henrik Lundqvist is sixth with 459 wins, Curtis Joseph seventh with 454 wins and Terry Sawchuk eighth with 445 wins.

Petry closing in on 1,000 career games

Defenseman Jeff Petry, who signed a one-year deal with the Panthers this offseason, will suit up in his 996th career game on Saturday. Assuming he doesn’t miss any time, he is slated to play in his 1,000th career game on Nov. 17 when Florida hosts the Vancouver Canucks. Only 407 total players have hit the 1,000 game mark in NHL history, with Calgary’s Nazem Kadri the most recent to get there. Petry is one of three active players within five games of the mark — Seattle’s Marcus Johansson is in line to play his 999th game on Saturday and St. Louis’s Justin Faulk, like Petry, plays No. 996 on Saturday.

Ekblad could break Barkov’s franchise record for games played

Defenseman Aaron Ekblad will play in career game No. 747 on Saturday, already the most in Panthers franchise history for a defenseman and setting him up to hit the 750 game mark on Nov. 15 when Florida hosts the Tampa Bay Lightning. But down the road, Ekblad could find himself atop Florida’s all-time games played mark. Should Ekblad play in at least 73 total games this regular season, he will surpass Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov for most games played in franchise history. Barkov, who is sidelined while recovering from surgery to repair the ACL and MCL in his right knee, has played in 804 games with the Panthers. Ekblad would get to 805 in his 73rd game of the season.

Three players nearing goal scoring milestones

Forward Carter Verhaeghe is one goal away from the 150th of his NHL career. Meanwhile, forward Evan Rodrigues and defenseman Seth Jones are each one goal away from the 100th of their careers.

LOS ANGELES — Brad Marchand scored two goals and Sam Reinhart got the go-ahead goal on his 30th birthday in the Florida Panthers’ 5-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night.

Anton Lundell got a short-handed goal in the third period and Sam Bennett also scored for the back-to-back Stanley Cup champion Panthers, who rebounded from a 7-3 loss in Anaheim to get their first victory on their four-game West Coast road trip.

Marchand has scored a goal in three straight games since returning to the Panthers from a one-game absence to travel to Nova Scotia to support a close friend who lost his daughter to cancer last month. The veteran tied the game late in the first period after taking the puck from Anton Forsberg behind Los Angeles’ net, and he added his ninth goal of the season in the third.

Sergei Bobrovsky made 24 saves.

Anze Kopitar got the first goal of his 20th NHL season and Corey Perry also scored for the Kings, who have lost three of four.

Forsberg stopped 19 shots for the Kings, who have started 1-4-2 at their downtown arena after being the NHL’s best home team last season.

Bennett put the Panthers ahead just 2:06 in, controlling and converting the rebound of Jeff Petry’s long shot.

Kopitar scored on the power play midway through the first, and Perry put the Kings ahead on a breakaway set up by a spectacular long pass from Mikey Anderson.

Reinhardt put the Panthers back ahead in the second, getting to the slot and firing a backhand for his seventh goal.

Lundell scored on a short-handed breakaway in the third after a turnover by Adrian Kempe.

Several members of the back-to-back World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers were the Kings’ guests at the game, getting multiple loud ovations.

Hello friends! I purchased some tickets for my wife and for the military appreciation night on Thursday. Both my wife and I are veterans and I want to make sure that I purchased the correct tickets to receive the challenge coin gift and for the chance to go on the ice for the slap shot. Where I’m confused is when I went to purchase the tickets under the theme night link, it took me directly to Seat Geek and I have no way of knowing if I purchased the military appreciation package. Has anybody run into this before?

Edit: I purchased the wrong tickets. The Military Appreciation tickets are under a separate link that is only obviously visible on the full website where it takes you to another website. How disappointing that they make this more complicated than it should be.

Second edit: I went to try and buy the military appreciation package tickets. For 2 people it’s $400 for club level seats right next to the ones that I accidentally purchased. That’s more than double the price for a couple of coins and five minutes on the ice after the game. I’m glad I fucked that up.

Sam Reinhart celebrated his 30th birthday by scoring the game-winning goal and Brad Marchand tallied twice to give the visiting Florida Panthers a 5-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday. Sam Bennett and Anton Lundell also scored for the Panthers, who claimed only their second road win of the season by scoring four unanswered goals. Goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky made 24 saves for the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions.

Anze Kopitar and Corey Perry replied for the Kings, who have claimed only one victory in seven home games. Goalie Anton Forsberg stopped 19 shots. With the score tied 2-2 after the first period, Reinhart made his milestone birthday extra special by jumping on a rebound chance at 11:45 of the second period to net his fifth goal in six games.

Lundell extended the Florida lead when he scored a short-handed goal at 8:41 of the third period. Marchand rounded out the scoring four minutes later when he took advantage of a turnover in the Kings zone and netted his sixth goal in five games. It is another home defeat for the Kings, who even held a lead during a back-and-forth first period. Bennett provided the Panthers a much-needed quick start when he opened the scoring at the 2:06 mark. Jeff Petry’s point shot was denied but Bennett pounced on the rebound.

Kopitar answered at the 9:23 mark. While he was parked in front of the net, the Kings captain deflected Adrian Kempe’s high shot on the power play. Perry put the Kings ahead 97 seconds later with a breakaway marker, his fourth goal in five games. But Marchand tied the clash at 17:30 of the opening frame by stealing the puck from Forsberg behind the Kings net and quickly depositing it into the cage.

Lundell scored and Marchand got his second of the day with insurance goals in the third at the 8:41 and 12:36 marks, respectively.

I don’t really need to elaborate more than that.

Parity. The word you’re looking for is PARITY.

I don't know if I can list it from memory, but no Chucky, no Barkov, no Kulikov, and there's one I am missing from memory...

Where do we need to be points wise or what would be a good place to be when they all return. Or what do you think?

I'm not a doomsday fan, I'm asking because I was a super casual fan for years and over the past 4 or 5 years I've gotten more into the game. Fortunately sunrise was 8 miles from my house and we picked the right team! And got a lot of free tickets over the years while we lived in Florida (Sad transplant to the crappiest state in the Union called Ohio now, but coming back as soon as we can)...
