I know it’s not our game, but Id love to see someone go off on the next Islander that sits on one of player’s while they’re down. Matinook took cheap shots to the head in game 1, and Jordo was used as a picnic blanket in game 2. That crap’s gotta stop. But I guess I could settle for just another win, haha. 

Go Canes!

I don’t want us to take any double minors, but every time Martin is on the ice give him heavy quasi-legal hits for sitting on Staal.

Give the same treatment to Pageau who broke Turbo’s hand with an intentional whack with his stick..

Open the game with chippy play and show them we won’t be intimidated.

to be fair, I think teams have tried to play gimmicky get in our head games before and I think lately we have done a much better job of just staying out of it/staying out of the box more.  It has doomed us in the past (particularly v Boston) and I think we now look like the more disciplined and experienced team against these lesser playoff seeds.  Keep playing our game--that's what's got them frustrated and undisciplined

Agreed I was very impressed how we handled things Wednesday night. We can’t get pulled into the cheap shot game. We have to make the islanders play skill. After the first it seemed the islanders pulled back on the cheap shot game. We’ll see tonight though. If they get chippy, don’t bite. Take the 2’s not the 4’s,5’s or 10’s.

    • Disclaimer:  In June, I am usually optimistic.  In October, a policeman with a bullhorn is telling me that I have a lot of life ahead of me and to think about my loved ones as I gaze down upon him from my rooftop.   Having said that, I think our offense (down the stretch) was good enough to play KC and Philly tough.  So how many games would this offense have won if they played the entire season like they did in November-January and if they had a better defense?   If you could stretch the last nine games over an entire season and put a solid defense on the other side, I see 5 wins becoming 7 or 8.  Down the stretch, the Panther D surrendered 30 points or more in 5 of the final 7 games and managed to win 2 of those 5.  If they can win 40% of games in which their defense surrenders 30 points or more, then the math indicates, had that been the case all season, the Panthers should have won 6 or 7 games with their defense surrendering 30+ points.   This season, we are much better at WR (TMac, Renfrow, Horn, and I expect XL to be a lot better).  Bryce is confident and now a leader.    The Achilles' heel of the 2024 defense, the DL, seems to be very solid.  We got back Horn and Jackson on the corners, Smith-Wade is improving better than expected, we signed a stud Safety.  Derrick Brown returns.  While the D is not there yet, it is going to be better.   So if we ended the second half of 2024 playing at a level that should have produced 6-7 wins, better WRs and a better defense could result in 9 wins or more.
