Interesting? Guess they are bored before game time?

Perhaps. Interesting to hear their perspectives. The thinking is this one won’t go to OT and Mike says he expects an empty net goal kind of game and Canes need to get on the board first (of course).

I’m assuming cause last change matchups. We need to score often is the critical part.

Yep, they talked about needing rotation movement on the PP and having guys in front of Bobs eyes on shot attempts to blind him and put in rebounds.

I hope the Canes get this thing back on track. I have a very long post Im going to make if we lose in the ECF concerning Waddell if we dont. He talked big, we better win it all.

I don't think this is a blow up everything event. We were missing some extremely key pieces and like it or not, we still don't have an elite goalie. 

Bobrovsky has been the difference, without a question. Our margins are smaller against FL and he is playing elite, which he has been capable of in his career.

Yep. Though I will admit on face value I was not thrilled with the Max move(we should have pulled a kucherov with him in this instance). There was plenty of other scheme players out there that weren’t temporarily crippled. Everyone expects us to get a big scorer and that will fix everything. In rods scheme it won’t. We don’t rely on 1-2 guys, Rod is a by committee guy. Most likely a big score would come in here and his numbers would drop substantially because he’d be expected to do a lot more than score. That’s just a truth.

To be fair to Max, he wasn’t hurt when the trade was made. He tore his Achilles during a summer skate. I will say that he is injury prone though.

Interesting line rushes in warm ups.

Noesen - Aho - Jarvis

MacEachern - Kotkaniemi - Teravainen

Drury - Staal - Necas

Martinook - Stastny - Fast

Those are weird as fug. But considering we don’t get last change it makes sense, especially the 4 line. I would still drop Jarvis to 2 and TT up to Aho to generate offense though.

I’m not saying anything against max. Just saying I don’t think his trade was all that it should be from a GM perspective. We basically paid Vegas 7M+tips for an aging guy to fix their cap issue. It was reactionary on wadells part.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
