Pesce has had his good and bad moments this season. They used to be mostly all good, but he definitely hasn't been as solid this season.

Someone needs to kick Marchand's ass if the refs will allow it. He has the biggest mouth for being such a vagina.

Double post for some reason.....

I swear the league does not want the Canes winning the Cup.....or even a game if they can help it. This season may have been the worst in terms of being robbed of "reviewed" goals.

I believe we should all know that this is at the very least a 3 year, if not, a 5 year rebuild. The roster was terribly constructed the last 3 years trying to piece together a "win now," playoff team that would have lost in the wild card round if it had even made it. I don't love the prospect of the Panthers being mediocre another 3-5 years, but that's what we are facing.

Winning the Stanley Cup isn't easy, we have gotten a little spoiled with being a top team in the NHL the last 3-4 years. The stars need to align and the team has to give every ounce of blood, sweat, and tears they have.

I think they'd like to keep Skjei, but he may want too much. Plan B might be seeing what Pesce's camp is asking for now after this season where he hasn't been as good and a better deal might keep him with the Canes if Skjei wants $$$. We do have our farm system though and for that I am thankful. The team has been managed well by Waddles and the Brain Trust.

I get what you are saying, but you can't sit Svech because even though he isn't playing anywhere near his ability, teams have to respect him and can't lay off of him.

Like someone already said, Svech is in his own head and putting way too much pressure to get out of his slump. Someone needs to give the dude a happy pill so he can just go out there and play and not worry about getting a goal.

Glad Koochie showed that fire....refs stole this game for Washington and our guys didn't seem to even try in the SO. Glad to get a point outta that crapfest.

can our guys try to deke the goalie at least??

only reason Milano has a hat trick is all the garbage azz goals he scored.

Carlson needs to have his azz whooped for that stupid crap he did. Intentional.

Washington playing the only way they can to beat the Canes....muddying it up and they are causing chaos. Glad we got a point as the Canes have taken the Caps and Refs to OT

Kuz ending this would be sweet Karma!!!

Look Washington is playing a dirty, scrappy, gooning it up game tonight. They have been getting the calls and refs are allowing them to do it. Fug 'em.

he loved to bite on any double move, never became a pro.

Chatty

Yeah I guess Rees didn't develop into what we thought he would, was a 2nd rounder now traded for a 6th round pick. Smaller guy who really doesn't have any offensive upside and has been injured 3 or 4 times. When you have a farm system like the Canes do now you have to stay healthy and develop.

BOA would be empty...... I think this is a terrible move by the Sabres, the optics aren't good at all.

I agree with most of you priorities. I think Turbo should follow Jarvis as a priority as well if he fits within our whole "salary structure." I think Martinook may be back on a team friendly deal and Noesen shouldn't break the bank either. Skjei will be looking for a nice bump with term and Chatty will be getting a raise too. I do hope if Guentzel plays well and looks good with us that we at least attempt to sign him, there are articles/tweets out there saying we are looking at him as a pure rental which is something the committee has never really done. It should be interesting.

Buy the beer stick!

I cannot find a post I read on one of the hockey message boards - it was either HF Boards or a Caps related board, but someone posted that Kuznetsov had been unhappy in Washington for around 3 years. They said he never really enjoyed living in the Washington area and when Laviolette became coach he hated his system and could never get comfortable in it...got moved around different lines and got even more disenchanted. I really hope this move pays off, Kuz isn't old or anything....I just think all the league thought he was damaged goods that couldn't be patched up.

I guess Buffalo has an active market due to proximity to Canada??
