Nice response by the boys after Calgary made it a one goal game.  We need to play better tomorrow with Florida coming to town.

Hopefully we get all the calls since we are at home like the Panthers did in our first game with them.

Hope Bear is OK.

You could tell Calgary was gonna score first they busted ass at the beginning while we didn’t really get our game set until the end of the first. But you could tell we were intent on controlling that game. I can’t say enough about our grinders. Staal may not have a goal(goals this season) but his tempo was insanely good last night. Fast is just so underrated, that dude is everywhere and always in perfect position. Lorentz grind was good. Nino is a fugging possession god. 
 

I hate to say it but Staal probably has to be the odd man out when contracts come up again. We gotta keep Fast and Nino.

Staal is gonna be out. At this point, his production is replaceable and his contract would be too heavy when we can pay the other guys on the roster. His value is purely leadership and experience here.

He'll go to a team in need of a solid vet 3rd line center and give some solid play for a couple years before hanging it up. I'll be sad to see him go, but it's time I think.

KK is definitely a C replacement for the future for either Tro or Staal. Could see that when we made that move. 
 

The issue with Staal is his NTC and the he still has 1 year left. We have Fast locked until Staal’s contract is up so that’s a nonissue. Tro or Nino is what it’s going to come down to this off-season. Nino is gonna have some big suitors too, probably even more so than Tro.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
