Nobody had Roslovic for the 1st. Quick hands in front to flip in the loose change.

I'm going Martinook. Yeah, he passed in a couple opportunities last night I thought were grade A. The entire top line needs to start shooting more.

Does anyone else see this as the beginning of the end of Freddie Andersen? It started as a day-to-day. Escalated to week-to-week: Brind'Amour announced that Andersen was considered week-to-week with the injury. He said, "That's a little more time than I was hoping, but hopefully we'll get an update every week". Next: Brind'Amour later said that Andersen's injury would be "way longer" than expected. Now: https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/toronto-maple-leafs/latest-news/report-former-maple-leafs-goaltender-frederik-andersen-shut-down-by-hurricanes-to-miss-roughly-8-weeks-following-knee-surgery According to TSN's Pierre LeBrun, Andersen is set to undergo surgery that will keep him out of the team's lineup for "roughly" eight weeks. Who here believes the Canes will roll with Kochetkov and Martin without making a move?

Canes had a couple days off after the last back-to-back, and #52 didn't see a lot of action, so he may go again, but I think the Canes aren't favored for a few reasons: goalie, overnight travel on the b2b, NJ on plenty of rest....

Of course it looks different now, but all of us were seeing the same thing in the preseason. Who knew Orlov would look that bad in early October and look this good a month later? Who knew the top line was gonna get carried by the 4th line Aho and Svech have yet to get going.

How is this game even close? C'mon boys!

I get that Keith Jones left the TNT booth for the Philly job, but ffs, the homerism from these announcers is fugging terrible.

Well, they just changed it back to Chatty.

DavidEng gets the winner with Martinook.

That was weak as hell, #52.

I gotta go with either Gostisbehere or Roslovic- both on a scoring mini-slump of sorts. Let me flip a coin..... Gostisbehere it is.

Boston Bruins head coaches Jim Montgomery fired today. The Bruins season sits at 8-9-3.

Found this on YT:

Leaderboard as of November 19: ABH (Anybodyhome): 3 MDC (MillionDollarCam): 2 PF69 (Panthers Fan 69): 2 PC (PantherChris): 2 P81 (panthers 81): 1 or1201 (organicrusty 1201): 1 DE (David Eng): 1

Freddie is indeed a UFA. And, to be clear, I don't think there's any way he's back next year. So, yeah, add his salary back to the cap room, and remember he'll have to be replaced.

Based on the NHL cap today ($88M), the Canes have $22.9M in projected space going into the 25-26 season. Seems to be a consensus the cap will increase to $92.5M next season, but let's not assume. The core of this team is locked up for a couple more years, with the only UFAs at the end of this season: Roslovic, Fast, Robinson, Jost, with Orlov and Burns on D. Remember Seth Jarvis's contract? Remember the press it got because the Canes found a loophole that allowed them to get his contract under the cap by using "deferred salary?" Yeah, don't expect that won't be addressed by the league and that loophole closed. That being said, if the Canes decide to sign Necas long term, they should do it next season and they'll probably need to pay him Aho level money- close to $10M a year. Let's assume the team gets through the season without any career or long term injury concerns. And, let's be honest in the conversation. Does Jesper Fast have a place on this team right now or have we found the right combination on the ice that he may not be needed? Does Brent Burns retire, or will he decide to stay another year? If so, there's a 1-year thank you for your service $6M deal. If Roslovic shows out this year, that's gonna be a pretty big contract compared to the 1-year, $2.8M he's getting now. He may command around $4.5 - 5M to stay. So, those 2 guys are gonna cost you $11M. Get Necas a new deal at $10M, you're up to $14.5M of the $22.9M in space. So you've got about $8.4M to work in Orlov and Robinson, which is do-able. Plenty of room to work deals and keep every one of the UFAs if the Canes so desire.

That PK may be the jump start they need.

Literally nothing there. How is that a penalty? No hook, no hold, no trip.

They may be up 2-1, but they still haven't found their game.

17 seconds in for Robinson!

Whole team is getting worked. The Blues were in Raleigh after their OT win in Boston before the puck dropped for the Canes-Ottawa game. Those couple hours make a difference. PP looks like better the last few periods.

PantherChris has a Svech winner tonight.

Canes are skating with sandbags on their ankles. Slow & sloppy.

I'm going with the kid. On a back-to-back in less than 24 hours, and the fact he scored last night, Blake will have the energy.
