PP game on tilt!!!

Staal to open the PP is another underrated move from Rod...

Canes rocking that Arlan of Pennytree PP tonight!

Blake is going to be a monster in a few years!

They cant go out of business soon enough!

TBF it was our 2nd shot, apparently...

It's a fine line. The D pairings could definitely use some more time to gel. And, I'd love to see the top line work it's way out of the scoring funk they've been in before the playoffs. On the other hand, we were eliminated last season directly because of a lack of experienced depth. I think Reilly and Leggo are light-years ahead of where Morrow, or even playoffs Nikki, was last year. But, this postseason it could be the forward group that gets hit. Id love to get Nads some time with the top 6 before the season is out.

1 shot 1 goal...? Ahobaby!!!

A 10 pt lead on 2nd place with 12 games to play isn't exactly unchokable. But, PIT or CBJ would need to go undefeated AND we would have to finish the season well under .500. If we win today, we'll get to see a lot of DLo, Philp, Leggo, Nads, KK and Reilly over the next month.

Walker on the GWG: "Honestly, I'm just trying to create a little space for them. I want Aho and Jarv to have the puck and tried to set a little pick and then honestly I kind of blacked out. Opened up and he made a nice pass and I figured it was a good time to shoot. Glad it went in."

The MADman!!!

#19 MVP!!!

Got some light reading for yall. Not sure I agree with the premise. But, it's been a big topic off conversation around these parts. Size is no longer a crucial ingredient among Stanley Cup winning teams

Your math is off there. 63 games x 16.5 TOI = ~1000 minutes total ice time. 53 games x 9 TOI = ~500 minutes total ice time. Double the ice time, double the production. Janky might be slightly more productive on the year. However, if we take this discussion outside of that fancy Dyson vacuum, you could factor in things like positional changes, age, progression or experience. Stank started the season learning a completely new position in his 2nd full NHL season. He was hot garbage to begin and has gotten consistently better ever since. Jank is the same player now, that he was in October. You absolutely cannot say the same for Logan. And, if you think that Jankowski, currently, is a better 2C for this team than Stankoven, then I have some authentic Panthers SB50 Championship Rings to sell you.

Obviously, there is more to being a center than just faceoffs and driving the net. Stankyboi is still putting it all together. And, he may never be a true net front presence. But, if he can do all the other duties of the job, we can build up size around him in the future. For this coming playoffs, though? He might not be that much bigger than Stank, however, Jackson Blake crashes the goal with the most reckless abandon I've seen in a Canes sweater in years. Dude is fuging fearless!

Lil Stanky 100% in the dot tonight... And our 2nd line has been our best offensive line this season. Maybe our 2C really was on the roster this whole time...?
