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.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Rico walking is no big deal. I'll take a healthy 2024 Hubbard over Rico any time and losing Mays is, again, no a big deal.  Young is signed for what, $35M for the next two years? Say he wants $50M but the FO doesn't. If they put the franchise tag on him, that would be around $55? So basically they are getting Young for the next 3 years for an average of $30M per year. Putting the franchise tag on him wouldn't be my first choice but it gives them an option that wouldn't be locking him into a long term, $50M contract. I'm not suggestion they do that. Just that the option will be there should they get to that point. Hunt is on a 5 year deal which is done in 28 so he either restructures or is gone anyway. Moton will be 35 by then and will either be gone or have diminished playing time. Neither of those players has anything to do with getting Young a contract. The O line is way overpaid anyway. Hopefully by the time they are gone, Freeling and Hecht will be developed and Ickey will be healthy. Young was benched his second year and only got his job back because Dalton was injured. Not sure how you can call that entitled. And I would NOT say putting a rookie QB on a team with no receivers, tight ends or O lineman and then being put with a coach who never wanted you and is fired mid season, is a definition of luck. As far as competition, no team is going to bring in competition for a QB picked first overall - especially given the capital that was given up to get him.
