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.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
