I loved the performance but Raanta, but I have to see a road game with the same type of play before considering him consistent he pretty much said himself that he road the crowd energy to that performance.

Exactly. In the end, as the ESPN announcer said. It's just one game. He's not wrong. Sure, the team that wins the first game wins the Series 68% of the time. It's clearly a big game to win, but if we're depending on Raanta for the long haul. Color me skeptical still.

He put it all on the line. He gave up 3 but luckily Cole and Smith were there to keep it to 1.

I text my buddy that last night, and he's kind of like a poster on here. He said "you just don't want to give him credit. He's been great tonight." I legit laughed at great. He was solid, but not great.

I did earlier. The fact that we only have one player in Aho at 10 is s fuging ridiculous

I mean, statistic wise. Svech is barely top 50 in goals and tied for 51st in points. He's 73rd in Assists. So I understand it from an NHL wide perspective. But Playoff perspective? No. Doesn't make much sense.

So, noise aside(which was clearly the loudest sustained house in recent years and that’s saying something) we played really really good and had that early in the season look again. Our hits were impeccable but we never lost our cool when we got hit back(in fact correct me if I’m wrong but we got a Boston player tossed for the first 10 minutes of the next game with what? 6 seconds to go? 9?) without drawing a retaliation penalty. We got jibbed by the refs, instead of drowning in the misery the players went ham. Our O tightened up as the game went on and the defense while not great at moments did a really good job keeping everything outside. 
 

That was a really fun hockey game to watch.

Ok. If you can’t enjoy the head stands he was doing, nobody can help you.

Oh word. Guess I should kiss the mans ass for one good game? Got it. Didn't know this was a one game Playoff. 

If you can’t appreciate the performance he put on last night as it’s own singular entity, you are useless and helpless. Even I said he gave up 3, that’s fair, but the saves he did make, especially when you are looking at 25+ shots in the first 30 minutes is quite good and he was laying it out there and playing to the peak of his ability. You can be critical while not being an absolute douche.

Do you remember yesterday when I told you you’re the most negative canes fan I know? You’re insufferable. You’ll find the Darkside on anything in life it sounds like. Get the fug out of here. The most negative human being on the face of the earth I would imagine. You don’t comment on the game at all yesterday and first thing this morning is negativity. We crushed it yesterday. Raanta crushed it yesterday. Enjoy it or shut the fug up.

Oh, I appreciate it. But the difference is, if he comes out in game 2 and sucks will he be remembered for this game 1 performance? I don't think so. We need him to be consistently great, and he's shown he can't do that throughout his career. Glad he balled out game 1. Now we need him to do the same continuously throughout this series.

Same guy yesterday that was a complete negative Nancy. He makes douche powder look like sugar compared to how negative he is. It’s annoying.

    • Here’s a summary of the JJ and Luke podcast transcript. Opening / Bryce Young Fifth-Year Option     •    JJ: Breaking news — Panthers picked up Bryce Young’s fifth-year option at $25.9M, guaranteed, coming in 2027. Combined with his 2025 salary of ~$6M, that’s $31M over two years — called it a “no-brainer.”     •    Luke: Enthusiastic about the move. Highlighted Bryce’s improving TD/INT ratios (11/10 → 15/9 → 23/11) and the value of entering year three with Dave Canales. Noted $25M is a bargain relative to the $60M top of market. Luke’s Personal Update — Charlotte Christian Football     •    Luke: Working with Charlotte Christian school football program, which hired a new head coach. Coaches include Greg Olsen, Luke, and Greg’s dad Chris Olsen (a New Jersey State coaching Hall of Famer).     •    JJ: Jokingly quipped that Charlotte Christian’s coaching staff is “the world’s greatest” — a Fox analyst, a Hall of Famer, and the best Panthers RB ever — all coaching middle school football.     •    Luke: Praised Chris Olsen’s deep football knowledge spanning decades and his ability to connect with kids. Round 1, Pick 19 — Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia     •    JJ: Panthers were on the clock and submitted their pick almost immediately — a sign of confidence and preparation. Freeling is 6’7”, 320 lbs, played in the SEC in a pro-style system.     •    Luke: Loved the pick. Emphasized you can never have too many quality offensive linemen. Noted Freeling’s size, athleticism, and arm length as key traits. Said the pick also reflects team’s philosophy of drafting great people, not just great players.     •    JJ: Noted reporter Darren Gantt compared Freeling favorably to Jordan Gross — bigger, heavier, and faster — as a potential franchise left tackle.     •    Luke: Pointed out that young players like Freeling still have physical development ahead of them, comparing the trajectory to Christian McCaffrey’s growth from age 20 onward. Round 2, Pick 49 — Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech     •    JJ: Panthers traded up from 51 to 49 (pick swap with Minnesota) to grab Hunter. Played audio from Panthers area scout Kaden McLuhan, who scouted Hunter.     •    Scout Kaden McLuhan (audio): Said Hunter’s size is immediately striking, and that everyone around him spoke glowingly about his character, energy, and love for the game.     •    Luke: Praised Hunter as a massive (6’3”, 320 lbs, ~34” arms) two-gap nose tackle who fits perfectly in the Evero defense. Compared his prospect profile to Akiem Hicks. Said having Derek Brown, Bobby Brown, Derrick Brown, Terson Wharton, and now Hunter creates varied body types that stress offensive linemen.     •    JJ: Noted Hunter ranked third among all prospects in run-stuff rate and sixth in interior pass-rush win rate — addressing a perception that he couldn’t rush the passer. Rounds 3–7 Highlights     •    Luke: Highlighted WR Brazle (3rd round, 6’4”, 437 speed, 1,000+ yards at Tennessee) as the vertical threat the offense needed. Also praised OL Sam Heck (5th round) as a technically sound player whose “short arms” caused him to fall but who has proven himself.     •    Luke: Mentioned CB Will Lee (6’1”, 33” arms) fits the Panthers’ DB prototype — big, long corners.     •    Luke: Praised S/LB hybrid Zaki Wheatley (5th round, 6’3”) as a big nickel similar to Trayvon Merek.     •    Luke: Excited about the linebacker competition between Devin Lloyd, Trevvin Wallace, and Claudin Cherless.     •    JJ: Noted Panthers had the #1 “steal/overreach” rating in the entire draft — drafting players lower than consensus big boards projected. Around the League     •    Luke: Admitted being “a little jealous” that the Miami Dolphins drafted LB Jacob Rodriguez (Luke’s favorite LB in the draft). Has personal connections to Miami’s coaching staff (Jeff Hafley, DC Shawn Dugen — a childhood teammate).     •    Luke: Also noted Miami’s selection of OT/G Kaden Proctor out of Alabama, who will likely move to guard. League Trends — Bigger Tight Ends / 12 & 13 Personnel     •    JJ: Observed the NFL saw its highest run rate in ~11 years (~52%) and a notable pivot toward big blocking tight ends in this draft.     •    Luke: Explained the cyclical nature of NFL offense/defense evolution — as defenses get smaller to match spread offenses, teams counter with bigger personnel (12/13 formations), which then forces defenses to get bigger at the nickel/“big nickel” spot. Called it an ongoing arms race.
    • Dan Vladar is their best player and that is going to be the difference in the series
