This is gonna take an individual effort because their ice is poo. The Panthers would probably be up 3-0 if it was better. The puck is constantly rolling.

Constantly losing their guys when other teams start to cycle. Rod pretty much admitted this by putting Kochetkov in because he knows our defense is going to give up grade A’s which Kooch is just better at.

Just my two cents but what separates the Panthers is their defense can really skate and their off the puck movement is incredible. Slavin is a good skater and Chatfield is a great skater but after that our defense consists of some pretty average skaters. Florida pinches their defense in a bunch and we still can’t get odd man rushes like we did against Washington. And then you just look at how on offense the team is always interchanging and setting those legal picks. They really free themselves up for some great looks. Yeah our systems are similar but there’s looks controlled and ours looks chaotic.

There’s a video out there of Chatfield skating. By the looks of it he might not be back for the rest of the playoffs. Morrow can’t be trusted and if the language barrier is too big of an issue than just roll with Stillman. He’s at least physical.

I mean Rod fuged up by not putting Orlov and Nikishin together. Orlov can play his off side. He did it a bunch in Washington. Nikishin can’t speak English so putting him with Ghost is useless. Spread the wealth… Svechnikov - Aho - Blake Hall - Jankowski - Jarvis Martinook - Staal - Carrier Robinson - Roslovic - Stankoven Slavin - Burns Nikishin - Orlov Gostisbehere - Walker

This team has proven they can win in the road so split at home and split on the road then just win the other two home games. On another note we desperately need Chatfield back. It’s going to take both Nikishin and Morrow some time.

His tape reminds me of Demario Douglas and Josh Downs.

Eh Nikishin isn’t your typical rookie like Demi from Montreal so I don’t have a ton of concern there. But you do bring a good point about the language barrier. Orlov and Nikishin would be our Russian bash brothers.

I mean at this point I’d play Slavin on his off side. Burns’ metrics last night were some of the worst you’ll ever see from a defenseman in playoff hockey.

If I’m D.J. Johnson I’m going straight to the front office and asking to move back to tight end. Most don’t realize that Johnson played some tight end at Oregon. In the Covid shortened 2020 season Johnson had 3 TD’s on 10 targets in 7 games. He’s got a tight end frame and good speed so if I was him I’d take my chances at tight end over EDGE.

This game is going to be interesting from an intensity standpoint as we have a lot of AHL’ers playing tonight who should be looking to make their mark and a win in regulation would give Columbus control of their destiny tomorrow against the Islanders. It would be pretty damn funny being responsible for keeping Montreal out of the playoffs.

I’m here! I browse from time to time. Life has just kicked my ass the past few months. Im glad I was wrong about our guys. From the games I’ve seen they’ve been fun to watch. Maybe they can go on a heater during the playoffs.

I told y’all the season was saved when we got Jank.

Scott Morrow playing today.

Honestly might be Nikishin pushing for it.

Season saved

If the NHL was made up of 50 somethings from NYC that enjoy the night life of Cary, NC then we’d have the best team in the league. NFL players have got it through their heads that you don’t have to live where you play, for some reason NHL players haven’t figured that out. Congrats to Rantanen on fumbling a $13.25M/8 year deal from Carolina. And yes I know Texas has no state tax.

Since we basically punted on the season by not making another move, call up Nadeau. And fug it, try Stankoven at center, idgaf. Jarvis - Aho - Nadeau Hall - Stankoven - Blake Martinook - Staal - Svechnikov Robinson - Kotkaniemi - Roslovic

I don’t know what else has to happen. The team is stuck in playoff purgatory. With a roster that works hard but lacks talent. That’ll only take you so far.

Need the team to just fall a part down the stretch so heads roll.

Nvm fake account that some Pens fans fell for.

Seeing reports we might land Rackell.

Yeah he’s getting some fug you chants when he comes back.

Which is sad because that tells the story of where we are right now.

I feel like he has to play in our top six if we don’t get anything else done since Rod is hell bent on saddling either Jarvis or Svechnikov to Staal.
