Saw an analyst say that Ghost and Burns on a PP was a guaranteed goal. We never did it. Run Ghost-Burns on PP, Slavin-Pesce on regular defense, and TDA-Chatfield on " I'ma fugging hurt you" defense.

Within days of acquiring Ghost he scored on a couple PPs right out of the gate. I thought- could be wrong- he was paired with Burns on those. Then he got moved to the 2nd unit.

I'll try to find it.

A lot of valid and fair discussion ITT about what Tony brings and his limitations.

I was very much against signing TDA in the 1st place. His reputation preceded him and I was worried he would be a malignant force in team culture and identity.

The opposite was true. The culture changed him for the better and he fit in well on the ice to boot.

We all watched (or didnt) the Florida Panthers play for a cup because our team was too soft to punch the bully in the face and make them look like the little bitch they always were.

Getting a 6th dman that...

a) doesn't mind dropping a shoulder or the gloves and taking a game misconduct or 2

and

b) doesn't hurt your game plan if he's not out there on the ice

...is exactly the type of unheralded move that can pay huge dividends in the playoffs!

TLDR: if TDA sleeps Tchachfug in game 1, we win the ECF and are probably touring the world with a big shiny metal cup right now!

I have to agree. The Canes are too often the schoolkid getting his lunch money taken. And while we all complain every time it happens, the truth is those incidents are less frequent when you have a TDA

It all comes down to timing, eye for an eye and knowing who the refs are. Svech hasn't learned that aspect of the game yet. I only wish Burns would impose and intimidate a little more.

We need more players that play with grit and fire like svech. Don't care if they are goons or not,  need a few here. Lol

Well here’s the thing, TD plays on the edge with a toughness we want, but his nature is to cross the line into dirt bag play. Rod was able to temper that most of the time, and I liked his play other than weak defense. but as you see as soon as he went to the Flyers he was back in dirt bag mode. I just don’t respect that. I guess Im not a whatever it takes to win at any cost to reputation kind of guy. So maybe when he shows up, and I think he will, coaches will keep him in line and demand a little more hustle on defense. We shall see.

TD played well when he was here - a heck of a lot better than he did in Philly and rarely did anything "dirt baggish."  He did stand up for his teammates and I think the team was tougher because of him.

Really I thought he had a great season with us, defensive flaws and all.  I think he disappeared against the Rangers for some reason and that's the only time I really was let down during his time with us.

To be fair….every one disappeared against the rangers in that 2nd round.

He did a few trashy things when he played with us but nothing outrageous and I had no complaints about his overall play but did think he had some defensive lapses. Totally agree he added toughness and stood up for the team.

I think rod was able to control and channel him here so he didn’t say or do stupid poo. I think that’s why he’s sorry he left. It’s not a smart thing to do or say stupid poo when you have the Jaccob “the wraith of god” Slavin and now Brent “the hammer of toothlessness” burns in your study room. Sorry couldn’t think of another an authoritative nickname for burns. Perhaps just Ol’ Man Burns.

You make a great point! The guys in the locker room no doubt we’re a factor in keeping Tony on the straight and narrow and I’m sure will again.

Remember when Tony upper cutted that guy in the balls lol, good times.

I know where he gets that low life stuff from too, I saw an interview with his dad. Dad pretty much said he was a thug, grew up that way and Tony gets it from him.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
