His defense was fine but he was slow on those passes and rebounds later in the game.

Liability is probably an overreaction. He just doesn't look like the Dougie we've come to know. His offense was a huge part off his game. I don't know if he's not seeing things as well or if he's not as confident in his shot anymore.

Offense is his game...based solely on defense he's a bottom pairing d man.

We need to put Fleury and Gardiner back together tomorrow. The biggest liability from the back line I see is Bean right now. He'll get there but TB isn't the team to do it on. Not saying Bean is bad either but he's been making critical mistakes the past two games and not really adjusting.

First game I didn’t get to watch all year.  I guess this loss is on me?  Give me all the poop emojis you want...apparently I, and the team, deserve them after this stinker! 💩

I didn't see the game, either. I heard the term "lackluster performance" more than once later last night when I got to check some scores.

The team is tired right now while TB was off for 4 days before starting this series last week. TB will probably put Vas the Vaj back in net because this is a crucial series and even a tired Vas is better than either of Carolina's rested goalies.

We don't even get two days off in a row until next Friday either and still have 4 more road games to get through + 1 more back to back against two different teams with no travel day.

I expect Vas as well. No idea why the Canes commentators are expecting the alt goalie.

Here is the projected lineup for the Hurricanes.

Forwards

Svechnikov-Aho-McGinn
Niederreiter-Trocheck-Necas
Foegele-Staal-Fast
Paquette-Lorentz-Martinook

Defensemen

Slavin-Hamilton
Skjei-Pesce
Gardiner-Bean

Goalies

Reimer
Nedeljkovic

Scratch: Fleury

 

Still don't get why everyone is hot on bean after the last two games. Should be Gardiner and Fleury. Curious if Rod blends the lines a little more or goes back to this basic setup tonight. Also really wish we had TT at this point. Don't exactly know NHL concussion rules but we likely could be down him until at least next Thursday if he doesn't travel separate of the team.

      Their use of the phrase questionable QB situation fits perfectly. He is stuck, for the moment at least, in a situation with Bryce that he can't really get out of. There have been improvements for Young, but he hasn't been a world changer. He had horrible coaching first year and was saddled with a broken down remnant of what had been an afterthought team anyway. There's one year left to keep him on the cheap with the idea that if he cranks out a great season, we've got first dibs on him for the next. If he tanks out, then off to free agency Young goes to either a QB whisperer-type situation or becomes a fairly battle tested back up QB. And we get something to add into our compensatory picks formulation. This is a make or break year for Young, but not for Morgan or Canales.

      If they lose the ECF in wimpy fashion, like anything less than a Game 7, its time to can Rod.

      Do you people really give no credence to the fact that Carolina’s went almost two weeks between games while Montreal played an intense seven game series that just ended Monday? That break was too much to be ready to go, and it showed.   The Canes pressed in the first, likely from overzealousness to prove the layoff wasn’t too much. once the Canes settled into their game without pressing, the game was much tighter. Every year, posts in the Panthers forum question how little the starters play in the preseason? Why is that? Because we all know not going at game speed against an opponent can lead to a slow start when the games turn real. Even with prior ECF disappointments, I’m going to hope last night was more akin to starters not playing in the preseason.
