Canes V Oilers. 9pm


Panthers Fan 69

Recommended Posts

Need to figure out a way to get all the lines going, right now it’s the second line and friends show.

Think the first line needs a net front presence and that a bump down might get Turbo going.

With the group we have now, I’d go:

Stastny - Aho - Jarvis

Svechnikov - Kotkaniemi - Necas

Teravainen - Staal - Fast

Martinook - Stepan - Noesen


I’d like to see the Canes call up Drury as well and see if he can provide a spark to the fourth line.

The offense did their thing, but gave up too many odd-man rushes. 

The defense was a step behind all night and even looked a little intimidated.

3 of Edmonton's goals were the result of bad decisions, out of position and letting someone get behind the D to the net. Sloppy stuff.

It's a 4-3 win if you take out the gimmes.

Connor McDavid has scored 2 goals in 10 games against the Canes. Can't be intimidated by that.

We need to give credit to the oilers. They have the best player in the league 2 of the top points leaders last year and very good offense. Sure we didn’t look the best on D and In goal but Their top 3 will do this to anyteam. Let’s pump  the brakes on any changes right now. It’s 1 game and we are still the best team in the league.

    • Per Adam Schefter: https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1920523706624823739 Expected, but just want to rub it in here.
    • I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.
    • The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
