What a physical game.  You could really tell the Preds wanted that game.  Preds coach Hynes catches a lot of poo, but he has his guys playing a very physical brand of hockey.

Observation:

-Looks like Turbo is back on his A game.

-Despite his turnover Svech is the best player on the team this year.

-Aho was close on a few breakouts, I can tell he is wanting to break the ice.

-Andersen played very well, we saw the benefit of having a big goal tender who doesn't play the puck too much.

Needs work or bad:

-Trocheck needs to get his game going, he isn't that noticeable out there right now.

-We're still having trouble clearing pucks out of the D zone

-We need more O-zone time.

Overall:

Another good effort by the boys.  It's a good sign that we're still able to win while Rod is figuring out the best line combinations.

Go Canes!

His shot game is down a bunch but he has been decent in a support roll so far. He did decide to pass on his breakaway that gave svech the go ahead goal. He’s usually a net front goal scorer and both teams have tried hard to take that away from us.

Nvm that. It was Necas that set up the go-ahead. I coulda swore it said 16 last night.

Also was it me or did they swap the lines last night at some point? Moving TT up to one and Necas down to 2? 

RBA changed up a couple lines in the 3rd, he left the 4th line alone. It all came down to lefties, righties and the face-off dots.

A lot of not very crisp passes are leading to turnovers. But, once the Canes took the lead last night I did notice they stood tall at the blue line and decided not to give Nashville uncontested entry.

I said it last year and I'll continue this year- Jesper Fast in a very underrated player on this roster. 

Stepan, Bear, TDA... I'm liking this roster a lot. I think it allows for more flexibility in changing up lines and I think RBA has a lot more options.

Stepan and Bear kinda low key additions that have really been nice the first two games.

TDA playing well too - more up tempo than Dougie was which can be a blessing and a curse.

As many have said Fast is really overlooked, but that's cool I hope teams continue to overlook him.

So far I'd say the team looks really focused and I haven't seen too much wandering around on the ice from the guys.  Hope Freddie gets a little better at rebound control.

Let's go Canes!!

Vision is easily my biggest issue with Freddy compared to Ned. Ned almost never lost sight of the puck. Freddy half the time isn’t even looking at the right angle and just trusting his size.

I think you are being bias at this point Ned is gone bud, two goalies with vastly different abilities and play styles Ned can't trust his size because he's a shrimp 🦐 in the net. Just because Trip isn't screaming about his vision constantly doesn't make your statement factual.

Have you watched him? Half the time he gets lost tracking the puck.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
