That I will give you. Both of those were calculated risks. Foegs wants to kill Coleman for fugging his shoulder up, skjei wanted to send a message to Kucherov. But honestly Kucherov is the least of our issues at this point.

I think honestly it’s to give the refs an excuse to fug us later.

Nah both of these were on purpose. If we don’t end up in the box we got away with what we wanted which is phasing Kucherov.

Def “not” a penalty though. He was “rotating” his stick.

I mean if your gonna do that Skjei at least blank him.

Foegs don’t let him get in your head like that.

Aho smelling them salts.

Score fast boys!

At least it looks like we got a new fugging announcer. That other one was gonna drive me crazy. Still not a fan of AJ though. Sorry but she doesn’t have hardly any worthwhile commentary. Maybe I’m just spoiled with Tripp.

Apparently not.

Phew on Foegs. Savard back though.

They still haven’t posted projected lineup but rod said he hopes it will be the same. Same deal as before, score first and get Vas on his heels. Plus lay some wood. Longer Mrazek can hold the 5v5 goal against them the better.

I mean gambling is what made tepper a billionaire so… he knows more than I, that’s for sure. But I’m not sold on this gamble. I will however enjoy every minute of it.

Agreed. I really hope this coaching staff can work some magic. I love me some canes but I’d really like to see the panthers take a step in the right direction. I know most folks here saw last year as a step forward but I think it was a wash comparable to the previous season, guess I’m just a little more cynical. I just didn’t see as much forward momentum but I am giving everyone but Snow a pass. Especially now that we finally rid ourselves of Hernia. I just don’t think Snow is gonna be capable of out scheming most OC’s in the league. Luke leaving tells me a lot too, if he thought this team could make it to a superb owl he would still be here. Back on subject though, I think Darnold will be more fun to watch, which is what most people want, I think Rhule is capable of preparing him mentally, but I’m not sure about the staying power Rhule has and I’m not sure the locker room is buying into his coaching style. I hate to say it but I’d still firmly place my bet on a chip Kelly-esque situation happening here. I think Rhule will get these players prepared but I think Tepper will bring in a Vet coach to get them over the hump. Here’s to hoping I’m wrong though and Rhule turns out to be a mad genius.

Slavin is a Lady Byng finalist. That’s two.

I’d say a lot. Darnold is a huge gamble, I think his ceiling is a delhomme style. But I also don’t know if this coaching staff has the experience to even get him up to that level.

Man I hope Foegs is a go tonight. Geekie honestly I think played better than Lorentz last night. Generated a few good opportunities. I’d move him up a line and let Marty try and elevate the 4th line. Foegs has been stellar this series so far though. Not showing up on the score sheet but the dude has probably the most take aways, rush chance generations on the team. I’d love to see Fast up his game a little too, the dude is a grinder but his matchups haven’t been great this series so far.

It’s Mrazek unless rod was pulling an epic smokescreen earlier.

I don’t count the Isles out yet.

I thought he got a stick to it. Still trying to find an actual replay of the deflect.

I can’t imagine this is gonna be a short surgery. They say 3-4 hours without any previous work done but each previous surgery adds hours into the process. Stay strong Greg.

Common’ TJ. Hopefully the surgery and healing go smoothly. Nobodies gonna have more respect for life than this little guy.
