Ghost and Pool suck

I had hoped for more goals from Ghost, but he has played some good defense at least at times. 

Honestly ghost has been fine in my opinion. A lot of our issues both offensively and defensively rests on the forwards. On the goal scoring front, I like what I’ve seen from the forwards the past few games late. It’s not like they aren’t going shots on goal either, which was a huge issue before, they just can’t find the net. That’s bad puck luck.

Last night we were screwed by the refs on the net front penalty, there was no way that was a penalty. Don’t know if that is reviewable but if so Rod should have challenged. What we need for our forward coaching to be more willing to adapt. I get the “play our game” mantra. As it usually works and our game can be lethal. But when it isn’t you can’t just keep telling the guys to play our game. I’m not as negative about the playoffs as most around here.

Our team understands it’s a reset of the season. That said missing svech is going to hurt. A lot. During the bubble playoffs we were owning Boston until we lost svech to that dirty play/rut in the ice.

We need to focus on winning the last two. Right now, it’s Florida, Pittsburg or the Rangers for us in the first. The team needs to show up tonight and give some emotion back to this fan base.

Also, I fully expect brand new PP lines in the playoffs/Florida. If we don’t it would be mental on the coaches part. 
 

Id like to see Skjei with Aho, Necas, Noesen, TT.

Ghost, Burns, Drury, Staal, Jarvis. 
 

Though it you need another cycler on the second line swap TT and Drury. Our biggest PP issues has again been passing. We need to cycle the puck better or try a completely different PP approach, but a little late for that.

yes, Pool Party looks like a clumsy oaf out there, he should throw his body around a lot more - it's the only asset he has

Ghost is ok, I'm amazed a how far down Pesce game has gotten

and last thing - does this team lead the league in missing the net, often with gaping holes

The have too. Honestly though. It’s a microcosm of our inability to actually score.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
