Quote:Written Task: Tell me what your player wants the forwards on their team to do to help them out. If your player is a forward, tell me what you do to help your defensemen succeed.

One thing Aleksi Kettu would love for his forwards to help him out with is limiting the other team's shot attempts. Currently, the Panthers are allowing the 7th most shots in the league and are a far cry from where they were hoping to be this season. Saved by goaltending, the Panthers are somehow only allowing the 9th least goals per game, which is astounding considering they are allowing over 4 goals per game. One thing that the Panthers could do to help limit both the shots against and the goals against is to have the forwards start helping out more defensively, something Center Derek Martin is taking to heart by putting more focus in his defensive game in recent weeks. Though...will this really help? The Panthers are sitting at the 8th lowest goals for per game, so...maybe the Panthers forwards should be putting more focus into their offensive game. Regardless of what happens, the Panthers needs more help from their forwards in general, in every aspect, and they will need it sooner rather than later.
