Canes Vs Blue Jackets 7pm Puck Drop

[Panthers Fan 69]

We finally made it!!  After dominating preseason play, will we see that carry over?!  Puck drop set for 7!  
 

Let’s fuging Go!

[MillionDollarCam]

Opening night so I feel like it’ll be closer to 7:30PM with all the pregame announcements and festivities.

Anywho, no Merzlikins tonight for CBJ, he’s out with an illness.

Lets go Canes! Hopefully Anderson picks up where he left off and dominates. Excited to see the Slavin/Burns paring on D too. Should be as shut down as they come.

That’s a Stanley cup lineup. Plain and simple. Top to bottom. Best roster in the NHL.

Think they are hanging the Metro banner tonight too, so expect a later puck drop.

Is Coghlan still injured?

Yes, interesting to see Chatfield starting over Coghlan.

Don't get me wrong I think Chatfield is a fine 3rd pair defenseman, but I like what I've seen out of Coghlan especially as the PP2 QB.

Also, I guess Rod doesn't trust Drury or Noesen yet.  I would rather see them on that 4th line than Marty.

Not sure, he had been practicing.

[MillionDollarCam]

So it doesn’t appear that Coghlan is hurt, RBA said it was a tough decision and they decided to go with Chatfield. Think it could be partly because Chatfield is a better pure defender than Coghlan and Bear. RBA also said that there will be a lot of rotation at that position.

Columbus has a lot of firepower so RBA might want the best defensive defenseman out there.

Coghlan definitely has a place on this team though, he’s going to be a real good third pairing, puck moving defenseman and PP QB2.

I suspect we will see Chatfield and Coghlan rotate based on matchups (game matchups) Columbus has a lot of firepower but they did nothing to improve there horrible defense and goalie situations.

Which is why Chatfield is playing tonight in my opinion, we won’t need Coghlan’s offense, but we need our best defenders on the ice.
