Panthers Fan 69

Recommended Posts

Get Pucks On (And Through): In addition to their penalty kill, one area that the Islanders really excelled in Friday was blocking shots. They were credited with 28 over the course of 60 minutes. Tonight the Canes will be tasked with finding more lanes, specifically from the blue line, if they want to have success.

1100 & Some History For Staal: Carolina Captain Jordan Staal will play in his 1100th NHL game tonight. He is set to become just the third member of the 2006 draft class to reach the milestone, joining Phil Kessel and Milan Lucic. This evening will also be the 669th game of Staal's career with the Canes, passing Cam Ward for the fourth-most since the franchise relocated to Raleigh.

Shooting Star: Despite being held off the scoresheet in Friday night's defeat, Andrei Svechnikov's seven goals this season remain tied for second league-wide. Only Connor McDavid (8) has more.

Strong In The Dot: Paul Stastny started the season playing on the left wing of Staal and Jesper Fast. He's since moved to centering a line that also features Derek Stepan and Stefan Noesen. Since being back in the middle he's won 70.8% of his faceoffs, tops among all NHL centers that have taken at least 20 draws.

Give Me That: Defenseman Jaccob Slavin has 13 takeaways through seven games this year, tied for second in the NHL. Since the start of the 2015-16 season, his rookie year, no defenseman in the league has more (492).

Injury Report: Defenseman Calvin de Haan (day-to-day) has not played in either of the team's last two games. Forward Ondrej Kase remains out of the lineup and in concussion protocol since October 13.

On The Other Side: Under the guidance of new Head Coach John Torterella, Tony DeAngelo and the Philadelphia Flyers have had a hot start to their season. They've allowed just 17 goals in seven games and starting netminder Carter Hart has registered a save percentage of .947 in his five starts. Forward Kevin Hayes leads the group with 10 points in seven contests. Defenseman Ivan Provorov ranks third in the NHL with his 29 blocked shots.

It would be very concerning if we came out looking bad again tonight. Happy to see us be more assertive and look like a playoff team. 

Hate to break it to you but Burns is total ass under Rod. Doesn’t play defense at all. Turns it over.  Canes aren’t a good hockey team. I’m definitely not impressed.

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
