So he may replace Orlov, should Orlov go FA looking for another team. Gostisbehere moves up to the second pair with Chatty, and Nikishin and Walker are the third pair.

Nobody with Staal

Headed to Raleigh in the next 30 minutes or so. Weather won't deter the wife (because she's not driving) and we probably won't get home til...? And I've got a nicely equipped Jeep for this stuff. Not worried about me- just all the idiots around me.

Necas ends the drought? We'll see.

Jarvy with the dagger.

Yeah, he's had to make a bunch of quality saves.

Hattie!

I have tickets for tomorrow and won't be there with the weather and I'm about an hour away. Hoping they reschedule it. I think the place will be almost empty tomorrow.

This game is over 8 minutes in. See ya!

You at the game?

Lol.... When's the last time the Canes scored first? Last week when Burns scored? 8-10-1 last 19 games going back to Thanksgiving. 27th in the league at 2.5 goals scored during that stretch.

Think so? The only UFAs on the blue line are Orlov and Burns. And I'd bet the team will allow both to decide whether they stay or go. Burns may retire or not, and I think Orlov is well-liked by RBA. Nikishin may be on board with Morrow at camp. Otherwise, everyone else has a contract. Ty Smith is an RFA, but he's headed back to Chicago soon. I'll bet Burns gives it 1 more year.

Anticipating a postponement of tomorrow night's game against Vancouver.

I'm going out on a limb and calling Necas getting out of his slump.

All night long. As I said 2 months ago, this is a .500 hockey team, and it has been since Thanksgiving.

Stumpy in with the winner.

Watching a thermometer drop is more exciting than this game.

Canes look like the morning skate. Like they have zero interest in being there.

Martinook..... again.

What's the excuse for him now?

Glenn came onboard with Campbell in 2021, which was a 3-13-1 season. They've been winning since. Comparing Evero and Glenn isn't the best example, but Glenn had way more upside.

Panther D allowed 31.4 points per game. The highest scoring offense in the NFL (Detroit) averaged 27.4 By telling the DC of the worst defense in the league he gets to keep his job, you have just told Bryce Young the Panthers need to be the highest scoring offense in the league next year in order to win. How in the fug do you announce to the NFL world, "We have our QB!" one minute, and the next you announce to the NFL world, "We will keep the absolute worst defense in the history of the league together." As a head coach and GM, keeping coordinators is actually saying, "Yep, it was good enough for us this past season."

Tom doesn't drink anymore, the girls were drinking wine and I'll have a few Don Julio 70 on the rocks.

Watch party at our house with some good friends who moved down from NH and been to a couple games with us. They've each got their sweaters- hers is Drury, his is Burns- and he converted from being a Pens fan. He was legit pulling for the Canes tonight. Wings; sausage, peppers & onions; mac & cheese. Was a good night.
