If only Hakanpaa had scored, too!

He was too busy laying the lumber (6 hits). At this point, anything he does beyond protecting his team is gravy.

I'm sure I'm not the only who's noticed more physicality up and down the roster since he joined the team. Until Hak joined the team, the Canes were unable to incorporate a complimentary physical aspect to their play. Now, it seems they have achieved a balance of still playing their brand of hockey, but with the added sauce of physicality.

Just look at Svech since Hak joined the team. Andrei is more physical the last month than he's been all season. Even the young guys aren't backing down to some of the old guard around the league. Earlier this month Lorentz was ready to go with Comeau (Dallas) after a pretty questionable hit (he was hit with a minor).

I don't mind personally for a few reasons, Nashville is an easier round 1 matchup IMO, I'm fully confident we can get 3 points in 3 games and it keeps us playing at full tilt (I want to see the Presidents cup).

I agree. I’d rather see the stars split with Tampa though and tonight’s the night to do it unless Nashville fugs up vs The Blue Jackets:

Best case scenario is nashville has already clinched by the time we play. And Tampa loses one going into their season capper with Florida. Minnesota is outplaying Vegas right now. I think Colorado is going to be the only challenge for the presidents cup because they literally are playing the dregs of the west except for once Vs. Vegas.

Of course we control the destiny for the entire NHL currently, so as long as we keep getting points we are good.

      Major Concerns with this team…with numbers

      By Stumpy · Posted

      The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?

      I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this!

      in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
