Yes it was vs Tony. What a move!

Best shooter on our team hands down if he didn’t play in Ron’s system he’d be a 50 goal a year player. But he adheres to the system, and personally I’m ok with an all for one, one for all system.

It also needs to be mentioned that he's been noticeably invisible for a few games, too.

I mean, his game last night was one for the books, but let's not fool ourselves, either. He needs to show up every night, especially with Svech gone. Not saying he needs to score, but he needs to make an impact.

He does these stretches because that’s how Rod uses him. If he scored every night we’d be the best team in hockey for the past 5 years. His two way is ungodly. And I figure we have even waiting for a cup challenge to unleash him.

I’m not blaming Pool Party for Aho’s slump but I do think it was daft to put him with Aho. I get the Canes were looking for some World Junior Magic but it takes time for guys to adjust to our system.

I do think the lines as they are currently constructed, give us the best chance to win.

Martinook - Aho - Necas

Jarvis - Kotkaniemi - Fast

Teravainen - Staal - Puljujarvi

Noesen - Drury - Stepan

Not sure I like Marty on the 1st line.  I like Turbo moved to 1st or 2nd and Marty playing with Staal and Puljujarvi. 

Svech's injury has made it tough to optimally configure the top 3 lines, but that's my opinion.  If you put Turbo on the 1st line he probably doesn't shoot enough (he already doesn't, but with Aho and Necas that gets worse).  If you move Jarvis up to the 1st line and put Turbo on the second line, Turbo probably (maybe?) will shoot more, but I think that makes the 1st line worse defensively.

There's a lot to consider - I like Marty for his energy but he is typically a black hole when it comes to creativity and scoring.  Of course when I stated at the beginning of the season I thought Marty shouldn't be in the starting lineup he performed well so hopefully he gets this memo.

You know Martinook is playing well when every time you look, someone on the opposing team is going after him.

He was in Kucherov's head less than 10 minutes into the game.

He grinds but that’s why he works so well on the Staal line. He’s not meshing well on 1 as a unit right now though. And didn’t the last time we tried this. I’d almost like to give Noesen a shot at one and put Jarvis on 4 until he starts scoring again.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
