A glaring pen missed when our player was sticked in the face

No score in overtime

Penalty shots.....

Panthers win on penalties.

Controversy as it looked like Greenfield got a block on one, no replay from officials. Fox is fuming..

[greeny]

A loss but at least 1 point better than none,,,

From the replay it didn’t look as if Greener touched it to me. Better result than I feared.

Very frustrating that, because it was undoubtedly a penalty.

Panthers win on penalty shots, but I'm pleased we competed with them.

Juusola looked a bit more like his old self, although he's still fighting the puck at times. If he can start getting that control back, we'll certainly look a better offensive force.

I'm struggling to see what Pu brings to the table. He's solid enough defensively, but not great at faceoffs and a bit too slow for my liking.

I thought overall we did well defensively and going forward Balmas, Tait and Tremblay had good games.

I still think we need a quality faceoff winning centre to push on.

I didn't think he touched it....good goal for me.

2 big non calls before 2 of their goals and that's the difference between a regulation win and going to OT/penalties.

Would have taken a point before the game but can't help feeling frustrated we've not come out of there with the win. Still the odd player going missing in the D zone but much, much better tonight. Juusola looking a bit closer to being properly back.

A lot to like generally, just a game where we don't get the calls

If I was Fox, Harper, Jasper, Tait, Tremblay, Cormier and Dowd id be looking at myself in the mirror asking why Tansey took a penalty shot instead of them. That extra point lost by us/gained by Panthers coild be crucial.

He literally made the first goal with chasing his own dump in, winning the board battle to get the puck to Jasper (I think), who feeds Harper.

He's not overly flashy, but he's very good down low, and on the PK. He's contributing, just maybe with less points than hoped.
