Hofer really led tonight
Didn’t think he played that well
But love how he intentionally went at Tkachuk who was chirping him and the Blues in the 3rd.
Stinky mitted his head too.
Really hope Florida misses the playoffs

Re: Hofer really led tonight
I don't particularly care for their players individually but they've been a great team to watch in the playoffs. They sap the will of their opponent shift by shift, game by game. They play to sap will, the opponents know what's happening but cannot stop it.
Re: Hofer really led tonight
They just aren’t the same team for many reasons. Hate them though
Re: Hofer really led tonight
You put it very well. The Cats are a tough, gritty playoff team similar to the 2019 Blues. I was hoping for a three Pete but it doesn’t look likely at this point. IF they make the playoffs anything can happen.
Re: Hofer really led tonight
I have an issue with binnington acting faux tough. There’s a difference for me. Not only did he take Tkachuk down … he kept pushing forward and gloved his head.
And he targeted the guy who was targeting him and the team.

I never understand why these kids facewash with their mitt and don't lead with the blocker. Take a cue from Billy Smith. Pop turtle in the jaw with your blocker and he will think twice about acting up.

Joel Hextall.

Because you get match penalty/suspended and throw the game away. This isn’t the 80’s my man.IsDurbanodoingtime wrote: ↑29 Jan 2026 22:17 pm I never understand why these kids facewash with their mitt and don't lead with the blocker. Take a cue from Billy Smith.

He did it right. That was his F-you to Tkachuk who embarrassed him earlier and who was chirping him about it

Re: Hofer really led tonight
Yeah but that turd deserves a beating. A "warrior" who has no issue spearing someone but a turtle when someone (especially his size responds). Still whining about deaharnais after he gets absolutely smoked . Off course his response is to spear desharmais and turtle and cry when deaharnais starts throwing down. The love for these brothers and their playoff choker dad is lost on me. Blasphemy.theograce wrote: ↑29 Jan 2026 22:26 pmBecause you get match penalty/suspended and throw the game away.

Re: Hofer really led tonight
Remember guys, the Panthers are without Barkov and have been all year. This is a Top 5-10 player in the league. And Tkachuk is in just his second game. If (and it’s a big if, but he’s skating) Barkov returns, the Panthers will be very tough

Re: Hofer really led tonight
Just finished watching the game and Panthers looked slow compared to the Blues. What a weird thing to type.
Anyway they’re also without Seth Jones. Hoping they get it together and repeat.
Re: Hofer really led tonight
I mean yeah I’d love to see him get throttled too. Really dislike him…always have. Miss the Kassian daysIsDurbanodoingtime wrote: ↑29 Jan 2026 22:57 pmYeah but that turd deserves a beating.

Re: Hofer really led tonight
Just curious, have you always hated Florida or is it a tkachuk thing? I can’t imagine any of the three have had many fans outside of the city they play in or their hometown. I know I absolutely hated Walt until he was a Blue.

Re: Hofer really led tonight
You're spot on -
They were also missing Anton Lundell, Marchand (who didn't play in 3rd), Seth Jones, Jonah Gadjovich, Dmitry Kulikov, Tomas Nosek
If they can snag that wild card spot they will be a hand full in the playoffs again.
