38 with the dirtiest hit of century. Could have killed the panthers player. Suspend him for the rest of the playoffs. Hagel is a piece of poo. 

Department of player safety really needs to be changed. The amount of injuries being reduced to 2 minutes in the playoffs is ridiculous. Especially when that rangers flopped and covered his face so refs couldn’t see and that was a double minor miraculously somehow.

I agree on the first part but if you watch the replay it's not board he was 8ish feet from the boards and the lighting player barely extended his stick and arms no follow throw contact.... yuck I just defended the Lightning.

Haven’t seen it(got this game on the radio) so I can’t make a judgement call on this one. I’m just saying throughout the playoffs when a person gets cut(which happened to us a ton in series one) by an opponent it’s a double minor. We didn’t get a single one of those. Not saying take hockey out of hockey. Just saying get some flipping consistency.

Agreed about consistency we had guys leaking blood... 2 min minor.... NYR Laughiertie..... Nothing on his nose.... Double minor.

    • Sure, there's definitely a chance that a fire sale in 2022 could've paid off but I don't think that's a certainty. It's not just about stockpiling the picks and bettering odds; it's about hitting on those picks, having a stable coaching staff to develop them, and keeping the locker room engaged. We didn't exactly have a model front office nor stable coaching staff in 2022. It's worth noting that part of the reason that DJ had to be included in the trade up for #1 was because the Bears needed an immediate, proven WR1 to help Fields. It was him or another immediate first-round pick, not a future one like what was being offered for Burns (whom teams knew that things were shaky with and that they could afford to wait). As for the Eagles, they recovered because the foundation was already in place. Pederson got flak and was ultimately fired (and was just fired again this offseason from the Jags). Their recovery was quick because the foundation was already in place: Howie Roseman and a solid roster (that included a stacked OL, a second year QB, and a veteran defense). Philly had a margin of error that just wasn't available to Carolina. I'm not against using the draft to rebuild, but a full-on teardown comes with real consequences: fan disengagement, a fractured locker room, poor development, a losing environment... and I don't believe that we had the necessary leadership at the time to cleanly navigate it. That's a gamble that I want no part of.  Now that we do have a staff that seems to be in complete alignment and building for the future rather than fighting for their jobs, I'm more inclined to observe their process and see where it leads rather than backseat driving with "perfect" hindsight. 
    • I see it a bit differently considering there is only 20M in cap space. Given how many of the premium positions are on rookie contracts their cap should not be nearly maxed out. Tillis still has a lot of work to do before these rookies will need a second contract.
