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.

    • Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies     
    • You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
    • Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
