I again missed most of the game while I was in class (Zoom) last night, but here's my take:

The Canes allowed 22 shots on goal (6-8-8), which means they were playing their brand of D that worked for them in previous wins. You should expect to win if your goalie is only seeing that may shots per game, and Carolina's record when they only give up that may shots is pretty good.

James Reimer is currently ranked 49th in the league with a 2.99 GAA. Sorry, but that sucks. He should feel very fortunate that he has an 8-3 record because the rest of the team has bailed him out. Think about it- if you're giving up 3 goals a game, that means you need to score 4 goals a game to win and there isn't a goalie in the league giving up 4 a game. So, you tell me how you're going to win with James Reimer in net? His 2.99 GAA is far more consistent than the Canes 3.26 GPA, which is trending down.

I said we couldn't ride Reims and Ned just isn't ready.  I guess Mrazek will be back sooner than I thought, but man I hope we are talking to the Coyotes about Keumper.

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
