Canes are getting a Blues team fighting for a playoff spot. They are 3 points behind Vegas for a wildcard with 3 games left. 

And they put 5 on Chicago last night.

Ya, unfortunately Vegas left the door open Monday and last night. Instead of facing a team whose playoffs hopes would have been crushed last night we got a team that is must win their last three including us and Dallas. They will be vicious.

Going to be interesting to see if the results from tonight change our approach going forward. Do we still play all the young guys or do we go for it?

A win tomorrow and we are one point out from a presidents trophy and a division title along with jumping Dallas for second in the league.

We now have a game in hand on the rangers till the end of the regular season. 
 

Max rangers can get is 114.

Max anyone else(Us, Dallas, Boston) can get is 113.

If we win we’re 1 point back. We need the islanders to take care of business at MSG(minus Dobson). If that happens we control destiny for the presidents cup and home ice. As we already own the tiebreakers v. Dallas and Boston. If we manage to get into a position where it matters we’d own the tiebreaker 9.5/10 scenarios over the rags. 

fug the presidents trophy but also fug having to play the red hot islanders in a 7 game series. Even if we match up against them well.

Back to the original question, I think you could slide 1-2 young guys in vs. Chicago and Columbus without much detriment. But will they even see ice time when we got guys like Lemieux, KK and TDA that need some tune up time?

Walt Ruff posted the full sequence leading up to the Svech lacrosse goal, loved the sound of that siren!

Gee, do ya think it took long enough for the league?

But yeah, the forecheck was crazy good on that possession. From the first keep-in by Drury, and then Chatty and Orlov along the boards, the Bruins were toast about the time Svech came on the ice, they were just standing around gassed at that point.

      I could be waaaaaaay off about Kon. I do fault myself into, to borrow a NFL phrase heavily "RAS" nerd on players, too much. There are PLENTY of athletic freak shows that are playing overseas(or Amazon delivery) cause they never figured out NBA ball. I can easily miss seeing the talent. Plus did he only have 2 dunks on the season??(is that for real??) I didn't watch over a few hours of duke, but not one point did I think "That Kon guy is a top 4 pick in the upcoming draft". IMO I still foresee Ball bringing the ball up, doing his weak isolation game and never even looking for Kon. That's his best trait according to everyone, shooting right? I do not see ball, bridges, miller or even williams making the extra pass to Kon for him to shoot a 3.  Then defense-wise, Im not ready to type the amount of questions I foresee in his ability for guarding NBA SGs or bench SFs for that matter. Not that NBA players care to defend, but still..... I just feel he's a bad fit for the current hornets, trades are taking place tho... Liam to me is a decent comp for Kon and he fell some, but was a 29 overall pick. Still around 13-21 was the good solid range for Liam and I thought the same for Kon. This is just a classic case of I need to see it. It add to this, Kon is like garlic. Ball is like sugar and Miller is like flour. Mix it together and chef Lee is not going to get me to eat that dish..... Honestly I don't know why Im this vocal about Kon. In past years I would be patience and not post and see what the kid has. The other side, insert classic white boy terms here- _____, ______, _______< etc >. Hornets do desperately need them. His crafty back door cuts, his willingness to stay a extra 2 hours to refine lees plays, keep playing with bruised limbs. I heard from many reports he's mentally tough and hornets by all gods need that. God they are such pussys.  I hope Im wrong and if so, I will give Kon his just props.
