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.

    • I'm not too familiar with Chenal so this might be a lazy question..... Would a Chenal signing be any similar to us giving Turk a big contract? An under appreciated fringe starter in KC that teammates and front offices love and envision them taking off in a new city.
    • I LOOOOVED Nick Emmanwori in last year's draft and seeing him thrive and become an instant leader of Seattle's defense this year makes me want a similar rookie beside Moehrig.  In scanning this year's draft, I came across Zakee Wheatley from PSU. Not exactly the same build, but Senior Bowl measurements have him at a hair under 6'3" & 200lbs and runs a 4.4. His acceleration, ability to span the field and be a true center field coverage safety would allow Moehrig to float more near the LOS and play to his strengths with a worthy compliment. Wheatley is a modern day lengthy SAF and he excels in zone coverage, isn't afraid to get dirty in the run game and has a nose for the ball.  We play such a soft cover-3 scheme that having someone with speed to roam would be great. I'd especially like to see us roll Ransom out there with these two as well with Horn/Jackson to secure that backend for us. Looking like a R2 pick as of now with some saying early third. If he truly is an athletic specimen that his numbers show, I assume he will only climb higher after the combine.  https://bleacherreport.com/articles/25250463-nfl-draft-2026-scouting-report-penn-state-s-zakee-wheatley Will defnitely look to see how he does at the Sr. Bowl this weekend and in Indy next month.
    • Yeah, I can see that too. Sticky, reliable hands that does not drop a lot of balls and runs the whole route tree.
