I agree Burns is not the same player he was - but TDA 1st pair?

to me the immediate need is a sniper - the Canes make every goalie they play look like a Vezina winner, they desperately need a sniper that can finish - with Freddy coming back they can stand pat with Koochie

Just heard this

gonna be a d-man - Burns

Raanta a different goalie at home, rested and hopefully will be lights out this game.

Pyotr should get the net, let him build on the last good performance, we can't keep to that every other rotation, Raanta breaks down to easily . Ride the Russian until the deadline and then reassess. Save Raanta for 2nd of back to backs.

Players only meeting - 4 embarrassing defeats - I fully expect the Canes to come out strong and dominate this game, if they don't this team has SERIOUS problems.

Hate to say it but father time looks like he has paid Burns and Staal a visit.

Waddell simply screwed up, EVERYONE knew we needed an upgrade in goal and at his best Freddy is a quality backup, Raanta is toast and Koch is AHL caliber only. We also needed a sniper - so we add a 20 goal scorer to a few 30 goal guys if they have a good year. I'm sick of seeing missed and blocked shots from this group - Donny better get busy or we are going 1 and done again.

An upgrade in goalie is a must and should be the number one priority, after that a sniper. I agree with your trade list but who is gonna want Raanta or Koch, for that matter add NoD DeAngelo to the list. Yes the first four should bring in some serious talent.

two teams with suspect goalies - final Canes 7 - Oilers 6

Totally agree, they rolled the dice on the goalie situation and got craps, with all the talent and depth on this team and with the style they play can you imagine what a powerhouse we would be with an elite goalie? We are screwed now, we can't just trade for another average stiff, only hope is to stay in the playoff hunt and score a big name goalie at the deadline.

Time to shite or get off the pot - if this team doesn't trade for a goalie we are toast, Koch is what he is- average and Raanta is old

Marty finally wakes up - Canes roll bigly

I think Pesce looks better than he actually is because he is paired with Skjei, like Stumpy I would do Orlov with Brady, but leave Slavin with Burns - when they get going they are lethal, that leaves Pesce with Chatty and or TDA

Totally out of synch, Staal called them out after the game, something is wrong defensively, only two playing well are Brady and Slavin

the boys will have a tough time getting a goal if they keep shooting pucks center mass, go top shelf on this guy

too bad the team needs the start of the season to mesh - Rod wasted the pre-season playing prospects and not putting the regulars in game conditions to start meshing with the new guys, I agree once everyone is on track this team will roll

For a canes fan living in FL. my only option is ESPN+, they better offer the NHL package again or I'm screwed

who would have thought TDA would mesh with Rod's system? Not my first choice but if we get Nylander I'm sure it's an upgrade for us. Rod will work his magic.

Lindholm - Nylander - maybe even Scheifele?

Got to watch the original Whalers from '79 to the end in '97. Super exciting, lots rougher than today's game, some old Whalers who liked to throw down - Torrie Robertson, Ulf Samuelson, and my favorite Pat Verbeek. Got to watch Gordie and his sons play together, today's game emphasizes skating and speed with the blue line and 2 line pass changes, back then if you wanted to watch good skating you watched the ice capades - lol

Lived in New England and went to many Bruin games in the late 60's and 70's - that to me was the best hockey ever. the games today don't even compare, lets scrap the woke politically correct gentlemanly crap from the game and let the boys go at.

Well for a team that needed to get "heavy" we sure picked a lot of undersized prospects. Wadell better get busy and get us some studs this off season

I just hope someone on Vegas blasts Bennett into oblivion before this series ends
