They going the way of the blackhawks next season. I have no doubt the Isles or Bruins will kick their ass though. No way they getting to the Habs/Avs/Knights. 

One can only hope.  No team should be allowed to be over the salary cap and allow players who sat out the entire regular season and parts of the season to play at full strength. 

I hope it is the Islanders they play, but if it is the Bruins I will be pulling for Boston.

They played a loophole hard, Stamkos went on LTIR the day of the trade deadline and they had essentialy already clinched because of the short season... Kucherov was healthy for over a month as well..... The NHL will adress it, it was strait bullshit.

Frankly I’d give Slavin a pay raise and offer the offside to dougie at 4.5. Just to see if he bites. Trying to think who we could boost on the right side and I’m like there isn’t anyone on the roster, paa is good but he needs to be on a 2-3 line. I really would rather keep Paa than dougie at this point though. Dougie is awesome but he may be the catalyst for change. His future will be if Seattle wants him or not. I would not protect him right now if I was GM, let Seattle poach him and keep Nino AND Tro. 

Unless we sign him we can't protect him if I am thinking correctly, he's a UFA. I am no means an expansion draft expert.

Those back to back double overtimes ended our season. You could just tell that our guys didn't have the same energy after that.

 

We also got beat by the NHL version of a super team so a lot of people are really overreacting. This team is going to be good for a long time to come.

I agree that Tampa Bay has quite the roster with Point, Stamkos, Kucherov and top it off with Vas.

Then to be able to go out and get Savard because of Stamkos.  It's really insane.

The Islanders look downright nasty.....  Also expansion draft my bets on Skjei, I think we will need to push hard in FA to sign a new second D pair as I think DH walks and Pesce goes back to being Slavins shutdown wing man.

The islander are my underdog homer. Consider this is an off year for our rivalry. They’ve been slumping and I hate the rangers way more. 
 

Im basically set for hockey teams though

1) Avs

2) Habs

3) Isles

———

Nah, Pesce has earned his own line. Paa needs to be in the mix. I could see us coaching up and matching Paa with Slavin this upcoming season if Dougie ditches. Pesce and Skjei have been stupid good despite what maybe be said(neither of them were the issue) We need to find someone we can match with beanie. I don’t know who. But someone that can elevate his game. Cause frankly his game dragged Paa down. 
 

The O just needs to get their poo together. That’s two off seasons in a year they’ve shot the bed in a good goalie serious. Hopefully having a pro up and coming goalie will get their poo right.

Let’s keep this place rolling with highlights and off season stuff through the summer and into the fall. Hopefully some of y’all make your way to some Panthers game and/or Roaring Riot tailgates.


See you there!

No tailgates or games on the left coast. Q_Q

It looks as if Dougie can be protected or dangled in the expansion draft. 

Interesting times this offseason.

I will say Bean had his moments, but no doubt he needs to get stronger and have a good D-partner.  Keane may push if he really is the prospect that he was touted to be.

He’s a rook. Let’s get him through a camp and a whole season.

Even at 5M we are stretching ourselves a little.  If we get the Dougie back from 18-20 then I'd do it.

This Dougie I would only want to give 4M max.

Dougie wants $8M. He'll walk if all the Canes offer is what he's making now.

His effort was severly lacking at times IMO he wants a 7-8 year deal at 8.5M HARD PASS

You know overall I agree with you on Dougie, but he was better on D his first seasons here.  We can attribute it to playing with Slavin to a point, but Dougie went "old school Dougie" this season.

If you recall before his injury last season he was at the very top of the D-man list on both sides of the ice.

Hard pass, he also wants 7-8 years if you think hes slow now imagine him at 33-35 that contract would be a roster nuke.

Dougie will be walking faster than he skated this year then.....

Well I'm not giving up on our coach but there is a pattern forming.

Brind'amour is a great coach. He is off to a historic pace as far as regular season wins go. 

The only negative has been his decisions in net. And to be fair, Rod hasn't exactly had the best goalie situation since he became head coach. A lot of chances to second guess yourself. 

As a player he always trusted his instincts. And, he definitely has the feel for lines and call ups as a coach. But streaky net minders will drive anyone crazy. As a player he always trusted his instincts. And, he definitely has the feel for lines and call ups as a coach.

I think a full season with Ned will ease a lot of RBA's anxieties when it comes to goalie choices.

Not only do we have a young, talented core to build around and a great front office, we have finally found our goalie. 

The most important position in hockey. Arguably, the most important in all of sports. Only a QB has the kind of impact on a game that a shutdown netminder has. And we found ours. 

He was drafted here. Worked his ass off in training camp year after year. Cut his teeth in CLT. Worked on his craft and won the only professional championship the city of Charlotte has ever seen.

Even with all that, it looked like it might never happen for him in Raleigh. Hell, after passing through waivers, it looked like it might not happen at all. But, Ned is a gamer. Always has been. 

When the bright lights came on, he was ready. When he finally got his shot, he never looked back. Whether he adds the Calder Trophy to his Calder Cup, he's got a bright future in Carolina! 

If you start to think of this season as a disappointment, just remember...

      Most hated teams

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
