I’m assuming you’re referring to Connor Shaw. And most of the Gamecock/Panther contingent that I know either were from Charlotte originally or live(d) in Charlotte. Like I said, I wouldn’t do Fan Fest in Columbia either. I agree, majority of SC doesn’t care about the Panthers. The ones that do usually are Steelers or Cowboys fans.

I am biased but I also grew up 20 minutes from Clemson, live 30 minutes from Clemson now, and work 10 minutes from Clemson. My family is almost all Clemson fans and most people I am around on a daily basis are Clemson fans. For the record, I wouldn’t do this in Columbia either but I know wayyyyyy more Gamecock fans that are Panthers fans compared to Clemson fans. There are also a ton of Gamecocks in Charlotte. At minimum, at least Columbia is more convenient and closer to Charlotte than Clemson.

Why are they having Fan Fest at Clemson? I don’t know a single Clemson fan that gives a crap about the Panthers in the slightest. Most don’t like NFL at all. The few that do are Jaguars “fans” and former Texans “fans” because of Watson and Lawrence.

That’s good to know. I’ve never been a fan of Freddie. And obviously none of the other guys have been inspiring.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Koochie. I think he could be a star. But I’m not convinced Rod trusts him. And I realize my post was confusing. I meant based on the reports of swapping Necas for Ullmark or another goalie. If we’re going to trade for a goalie I would rather use draft picks instead of lowering the value of Necas.

I just don’t see how we can let both Guentzel and Necas go. Ago, Jarvis, and Svech can’t carry the scoring by themselves. And don’t think that we could get anyone close to their level in free agency or trade. As for goalie, I would rather use our first round pick on a top tier goalie rather than part of a Necas swap. We could still trade Necas but would rather maximize his value.

Agree on Rod. But are you referring to Perets? The undersized 24 year old goalie that wasn’t very good in the ECHL this year?

Fug Freddie. He has always thought he was too good for Carolina. Turns out he’s a terrible goalie that nobody else wants.

I can’t help but give myself a little bit of hope. But I also know it’s still pretty much over. If they can’t pull it off, I hope the Panthers/Bruins drag the Rags. What an absolutely hateable bunch.

I can’t listen to Kenny Albert talk about Andrei Numechnikov anymore.

Soft serve Freddie

I get it but just seems like he gives up at least one soft goal each game and rarely makes the difficult saves. He’s very mediocre.

I’m sorry but I can’t stand Freddie soft-serve Andersen.

Trocheck was a JAG when he was here. Now all of a sudden he’s pretty good and turns into a complete a-hole.

Right on cue. Every. Single. Time.

Seems like it always comes back to bite us when we get buzzing but can’t score. Hopefully not this time.

Turbo is absolutely useless

Exactly what I was afraid of.

Really need to pot another one soon.

Kochetkov has been much more aggressive than Freddie.

I’m honestly shocked they didn’t give them a PP. Not because it was deserved but because these refs have been pitiful.

Svech had them scared to play the dump in. Give him a ton of credit on that goal. He’s out for blood.

Let's hope we all get good Koochie tonight

Does make you wonder a bit of Kuznetsov would have helped our PP. Necas is the only player that is consistently dangerous. Both on the PP and EV.

I hope you’re right. I just don’t see it.
