Tweet of the Moment

The Eastern Conference Finals have featured two of the best games in at least the last decade. The Hurricanes and Panthers have gone to over time in each game, including 4 overtimes for Game 1. Incredibly, the Panthers' big offseason acquisition, Mathew Tkachuk, has scored the game winner in both games. An aggressive postseason move seems be paying off for Florida. Tkachuk was signed to a long term extension after acquiring him. Tkachuck played 6 years in Calgary, and will spend 8 more in Florida. It seems like a pretty solid deal, and if the Panthers make it to the Finals, which for now seems likely, even though they gave up a ton and are paying him a lot of money, this will land as a very good deal. Matthew Tkachuk is 25 years old. I bring all this up because it's a pretty dark time in your team history if you are referring to 25 year olds as "prospects".
