OK guys. I’m going to be Johnny positive for one minute. We remember the days when the canes weren’t even in a playoff spot. Let’s be thankful for what we have right now but hope Rod makes a decision to make some line changes and player substitutions.  I do believe the answer is on the roster. I’d also love to see Koochie get the net tomorrow in Raleigh. This is no way and indictment of raanta. He played his balls off tonight.   The time is now for the kid to get ready to be our future goalie.

I’m telling you it’s Burns. He’s trying to do too much for us vs doing exactly what Rod is asking him to do.  


Not loving Burns so far either

I also feel like we don’t have the size on defense with Smith and Cole gone. Burns, Coughlin, Chatfield<Deangelo, Smith, Cole. 

Last years D seemed to buy in more, or maybe sell out to make a play…. Doesn’t seem to be the same grit.

Facts on facts. Our D is not playing Rod ball.   
 

id rather struggle now and get better vs struggle late going into the playoffs. Lots of hockey left. 
 

oh and patches comes back soon.

I would be surprised to see Burns change anything about his style of play. Not gonna happen with a vet who's been around as long as he has. That being said, the best D pair on the roster right now is Skjei and Pesce.

Pyotr is expected to start the Oilers game tonite. RBA needs to make some line changes as well. Major line changes. The only line playing with any consistency is the Staal line, even Martinook is playing with a fire under him.

It's not Anderson or Raanta.

It's not the defense.

When you lose 3-0 or 3-1, it's because you didn't score. The other team gets paid to play, too.

Respectfully disagree. It’s all facets right now. Our big bogs are scoring our bottom lines aren’t. Pece and Skjei are playing well. Burns is so bad this year. Such a bad fit for this team. Freddie hasn’t been good. Raanta has been good. Kk is playing well, just not so scoring. Necas is having a career year. Slavin is having to make up for burns playing so bad and it’s a trickle down. 
 

it’s been a team effort when we suck. Same hand, it’s been a team effort when we win.  Every year we have games like this.   I’d rather us be poo now and elite later vs last year.  In rod we trust.

Rod is a players coach and a good one at that but he seems hesitant to shakeup the lines and doesn’t hold players accountable for mistakes and lack of effort. We need to make a trade at the deadline for another redliner. I’m hoping Patches can solve some of our offensive woes. But, if you take a look around the NHL, some of the other supposed contenders are struggling as well - many more so than we are. It’s early in the year.

    • After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...  
    • Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning. 
    • I like Morgan's approach but I'll wait for a few winning seasons before giving too much praise.
