It's no secret Nashville should have won that game in OT about 3 times. Definitely not the best show on ice last night. The Canes showed up twice last night, and that was for both scores. Everything else was pretty unnerving. Hell, they couldn't even clear the zone a few times in the 3rd for what seemed like 2-3 minutes.

Did I think Staal could break away like that? No.

Did I think Staal was going to shoot? No.

Did I think Staal could get a shot off with 2 sticks behind him? No.

There was nothing about that play I thought could or would end the game. How he separated and got a clean shot off is beyond me.

Tripp said it right after the game.  Jordo is skating like a teenager with the wisdom of a 15 year vet.

IDK what happened but, Staal is playing faster and more confident than I've ever seem him.

Tampa and florida are making this one hell of a division race

Its gonna come down to the last game of the season. 

NHL might see it's best ratings ever this year. Compact, shortened season with 2-3 game divisional series makes for tight races and intense hockey games.

Rivalries grow, bad blood simmers and every game counts. I love covid hockey!

There was a fair amount of luck with the Predator wiffing on the puck and him being in the purpose place to take it from behind him unopposed. Once he started skating away I thought maybe he could do something. Glad he just took the shot even with Necas waiting in the wings. Last night was not our best passing or puck handling night.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.

      Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
