Hopefully power play will be better Wednesday. We let the Panthers hang around way too long.

Predators? 

We do need to get better on the PP. Nedeljkovic hopefully got the playoff jitters out. Did great in his first playoff appearance

Good game all around. Canes matched the physicality of the Preds and would expect more of the same Wednesday night. Slavin and Pesce played damn good D last night, although when Nashville got deep in their offensive zone, the Canes were a little sloppy more than once, unable to clear and having some pretty long shifts. Their first goal by Forsberg was terrible D- weak side help was late and he strolled thru the middle of the ice.

On a positive note, the usuals were there and the young guys stood their ground- Lorentz- oh my. Guys were laying the lumber last night and Hak... geez, how he has fit right into this squad. Just wait until Cedric Pacquette returns with some more grit.

The penalty kill is as good as ever but the PP is having issues again.

Vincent Trocheck was seen on the side of a milk carton- anybody seen him lately?

Ya I caught a bit of that one and it was depressing. I don’t know Modern basketball at all but that team had zero cohesion. 

They also went into the playoffs on a hellacious slump. Injuries piled up in the second half of the season and that destroyed the chemistry they had early in the year.

    • No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.    
    • It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
