Thoughts on the Detroit loss...

We suck on the PK all of a sudden. WTF? Also, why can we not just start reeling off one timers and trying to get deflections? Anyway, just wondering what everybody thought of this game. My opinion:

PP: Terrible. Didn't have a lot of chances, but when we did, I think we had a total of like, 8 shots on the PP. Terrible. We did however have puck movement and at least held it in their zone for a bit. D-

PK: Obvious. It's what won Detroit the game. F

Offense: Kostopoulos had a nice goal. Outside of that, nice shots, couldn't get a bounce. Goaltend was too good. Overall though, decently pleased, just wish we would have let Gleason and our other D men take point shots and try for deflections and screens down low. C+

Defense: Couldn't tell if Detroit was just faster or if we were that bad out of position. Regardless, too many scoring chances, forced Cam to play out of his mind for the most part. Gotta tighten up sooner. Can't start playing good D in the 3rd and expect to win. C

That's just my take. Any other thoughts?

      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.
