Biggest two obstacles

1) Bob, as we all know. 

2) Florida's defensive zone. If our forecheck falters, they can swing momentum. They're not as dangerous as we are in transition, but they get the puck out quick. Could be irritating for us, and we know what we look like when we get irritated thanks to the Devils.

I really thought Toronto out played them the last two games.  I would have liked to see the Lafs take them to at least 6 games but they really got screwed on the no goal call.  Either way, I thought the Leafs out performed the Panthers the last two games which gives me some optimism.  I'm not sure what to make of it, this is a series where having Svech would be very nice.  I think our team is grittier, and has better depth scoring, but I think the Panthers have a few higher end players right now.  Ultimately our team isn't goind to back down.

I think the zebras are going to have a lot to do with the outcome of this series.  We have to find our power play this series or it's going to be tough sledding.

One thing the Canes will have to be ready for is the Panthers dirty play- targeting, head hits, stick grabs near the end of the game when the refs won’t call it, etc. They make the Islanders look like boy scouts.

Panthers coach Paul Maurice brought this “style” to Florida with him from his time with the Jets. Names to watch - hit man Sam Bennett, and Matthew Tkatchuk.

Canes have to be aware while sticking to their game. Here are just a couple of Bennetts dirt, he had lots more.

Wouldn't it be nice to be in a position to put Pool Party on the ice with the sole mission of taking out Bennett, just like the old days when teams had hired enforcers?

 

Bennett has been called an “enforcer” by some but that’s being too generous, he isn’t paying back for anything he just targets players to try to take them out of the game or interrupt a play with dirty hits etc.

Series winning goal was definitely a penalty on Gudas. They aren’t afraid to play this kind of dirty either.

Staal vs Staal and Staal.

Big Staal vs Lesser Staals.

 

No matter what happens this series, the next Staal family dinner is going to be interesting 

And just imagine playing your sibling in in the playoffs, knowing for you to succeed you have to crush your brothers dreams

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
