The Florida Panthers revisit the ’23 Stanley Cup champions in Las Vegas tonight to try and capture their first win against them in a regular season matchup.
Right now, the Panthers are 23-12-2 and have a chance to gain a competitive advantage over the defending Vegas Golden Knights (22-11-5) but William Carlson and Nick Cousins are out meaning not much is at critical stake besides the fact that Florida has lost seven of their last meetings in this particular series and need their leading points, goal contributor Sam Reinhart to lead a tremendous game between ruthlessly Jack Eichel, veteran Mark Stone, and Conn Smythe award winner Jonathan Marchessault who rank well respectively top-15 in Power Play percentage (22.22%) and are aid by Adin Hill’s work of GAA less than two.
The Panthers have dealt with a lot of turbulence when addressing the Golden Knights and it will be no easy test.
John Tortorella has become just the eighth NHL head coach to eclipse 1,500 games, passing Daryl Sutter on the all-time list. Next, former Philadelphia Flyers head coach Ken Hitchcock.
Torts will have to muster more wins to surpass Hitchcock at 1,578. Lately, the Flyers lost one of their last 10, winning six in the process. Torts and the Flyers head for a small Canadian trip tomorrow when Philadelphia visit Calgary and Edmonton.
The Flyers (19-11) rank second in the Metropolitan division currently and who is to attribute to it than Torts and counting down his top five moments!
5. Torts, Media Goes Wrong
New York Post’s reporter Larry Brooks was honored into the 2018 Hockey Hall of Fame. Hopefully, these two can reconcile and meet over great prestige or a Starbucks coffee. Torts was not afraid to voice himself and Brooks turned out to face the wrong end of the school bus.
4. A la Vista Panarin
Once a Ranger, Panarin never goes back. Torts vitalize his full intentions to sit out Panarin not because of trade capita but his full desire on no qualms.
Panarin later that season, signed a $81 million deal with New York and has since averaged 77 points per season, ranking fourth behind Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and Nathan MacKinnon.
3. Inflamed
Following a 2014 line brawl between two rivaled Canucks and Flames, Torts seems to run into the wrong hallway with 23 other active NHL players and staff members.
2. Torts is Going to Disney.. Sorta
At 7:30, Torts is seen with the jovial gesture of love and joy as the Tampa Bay Lightning win their first Stanley Cup trophy in 12 mere years of existence. Torts is a winner and that is what everybody enjoys about him in the finale.
Brad Richards was the Conn Smythe recipient and took one home for the pride of Canada alongside countrymen Martin St. Louis and Vincent Lecavalier.
1. No. 1,500
Torts mentions the improvement of quickness and grinding. He talks about the preparation of prohibiting a minuscule information to the player. The mistakes and pitfalls are incumbent on players but what about Torts?
Torts sits at 1,500 but the rest of his legacy will settle on what wealth of knowledge or wisdom he will impart left. Torts is a future Hall of Famer, but not with Brooks.
As the 2023 year ends, sports will not. Endlessly so, gratitude is marked with the character of debt. Players, coaches, trainers, etc. feel indebted to filling the Gatorade or hustling extra. The true fundamentals cannot be taught because even though gratitude is self-taught, it is not defined by the cleats worn.
Gratitude, today, nurtures a new beast inside. 2023 leaned memorably on Kelce’s, Knights, and the Joker’s card. Jokic may be wildfire but compared to Embiid. The author would be remiss to rule out the MVP campaign of the Sixers big.
The Kelce’s manifested together a rivalry and podcast, too, but they carved out one feeling of acceptance, gratitude. The ceiling of gratitude has been reached so far. Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes, are in the background, cooking up rings and State Farm commercials. The time of acceptance could not be more merrier.
And the cooperation of ice time is essential. The Vegas Golden Knights were one of the most dominant teams out of any sport and electrified the masses. It was not a preconceived notion as the Knights fought hard and strong and valiantly so in the 2023 sports year, define gratitude.
Connor Bedard has only played two games and he has electrified the masses. To the point, fans ought to take strong consideration of his status as a fellow rookie.
The first night, Bedard set the standard in a back-to-back series of contests between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Boston Bruins. There, he accumulated one point to add to his first-ever goal in the NHL against Boston Swedish goaltender Linus Ullmark.
Ullmark allowed merely one goal in his home victory against the Blackhawks but if Bedard is proving one thing so far it is resilience for his size on both sides of the rink.
He has mastered this time again and will do once more when the Blackhawks enter a rowdy Montreal arena on the 14th of October. Bedard is off to a competitive start.
The key to his success will be limiting bad shots and becoming a less clone of Connor McDavid.
What a money grabber. Erik Karlson is a Pittsburgh Penguin. Can you believe that? And he will complement the forces of Kris Letang, last-legged Sidney Crosby, extended-leading Evgeni Malkin, Jake Guentzel and the key of them all, young goalie Tristan Jarry.
Jarry, born in 1995, has quickly amassed recognition as one of the best Penguins goalies by surpassing the recent likes of Marc Andre Fleury (SV%), Matt Murray (GP), and Casey Desmith (W). He has amounted to extreme success with a recent five year contract deal and will have a long shutout streak to speak of more (117:15) when Karlson enters Pittsburgh.
At 33, Karlson has obliterated every obstacle that has entered his way. Check Block A.
Block A –
Here Karlson is being Karlson. Looking down the ice and having the common misconception for his size that he closely leads the NHL in hits. Do not be mistaken. According to Stat Muse, Karlson has recorded 711 career hits through 14 seasons with the Ottawa Senators and San Jose Sharks. Nashville Predator Luke Schenn has a whopping 3,158 hits.
Karlson also became, nonetheless, the sixth defenseman ever to record 100 points in a single season since Brian Leetch, who, on a side note, recently became a Hall of Fame inductee in the country of Finland. Take a look at the history achieved last year, in fact.
Block B –
Through the honorary pillars of excellence, Karlson exemplifies a winning culture of pride and fortune bestowed upon the faith of a new front office shifting course after the departure of predecessor Ron Hextall and his tumultuous raid in Philadelphia especially.
Will Karlson be finally determined to win a Stanley Cup? Or be a stat-stuffer? Karlson is the prototypical, gifted talent a hockey team wants, but the questions remain without an excellent touch of rejuvenation.
