It happened to the mighty Red Wings so it’ll definitely happen to us eventually. I’m just hoping this is a hiccup and not a true regression. I need a cup before we start regressing.

i had this feeling the last couple of season that we may of lost our chance at a Stanley Cup. I truly believe if we had of been 100 percent healthy last season that would have been our year we would have at least made it to the Stanley Cup, don't know if we could of beat LV.

But yeah, I hope this isn't a true regression, but the current signs are not promising. I hope the owner doesn't get discouraged when bandwagoners, which most of the people who sell out the games are, stop showing up if we suck this year.

Maybe it’s good news but we tend to play like this after the all star break. Hopefully the roles are reversed this year and we get better as the year goes.

It’s 6 games on a west coast swing without Andersen, Aho, Svech and Pesce(1). Our talent is still there and our offense is cooking. Our usual forecheck and defense is not. Coaching not either. TDA needs to sit and our defense lines need a complete remix.

TDA contributed directly to 2 goals last night against, he gave up on both those plays. If you aren’t playing 200 feet you shouldn’t be starting on this team. He also brought nothing to the PP

Orlov actually managed to make it out as a +0 last night. TDA was the only defenseman in the negative.

I expect us to look better when we have last change and home and can cover the gaps. Aka not leaving TDA and Orlov on the ice for 1.5 minutes during a heavy opposing forecheck. 

Im not sweating anything yet, but if we can’t get the goals against under control. Thats a clear indicator something is officially broken. 
 

Goalies are a concern too. Pyotr gave up way too many softies. Raanta has been doing the same. Luckily on the limited sample size of Andersen he seemed dialed in before the head bonk.

If Rod refuses to take TDA out Slavin and Burns needs to be split to cover them. That’s less than ideal however.

Im not sweating yet either. However Rod is going to have to evolve at some point in his coaching career. Cant keep relying on churning the roster year after year, more specifically the defense, and expect to get away with it all the time.  Also not being more proactive trying to get better goal tending. Both Anderson and Raanta can break at any moment given their ages and pk isnt ready yet.

Another concern is not adding more to our goal scoring department that suddenly disappears come playoff time and is the reason for all of our exits in the playoffs. It just makes no sense why that keeps happening. All the regular season scoring is good, but it has to show up when it matters most.

Personally I think the defense is being thrown off badly by lack of chemistry from the 11-7 crap...  Aho has missed 3 games Svechnikov hasn't played yet our two best players both key two way guys (We are missing Aho badly on the PK) Jarvis is progressing nicely as a go to goal scorer, Necas is playing pretty well (which will improve when Svechnikov is back.)

 

Honestly even if we don't have as good of a regular season as recent years I see this as our best shot at a Cup if we get the D settled Turbo is resurgent scoring, Jarvis appears to be breaking out, Slavins offensive skills seem to have caught up to his D. 

 

HEALTHY i don't think scoring will be an issue this season (playoffs) its all about settling the D down and I honestly refuse to believe this will be a season long problem.... the first 10 games of the year are odd for most NHL teams due to the way they use the preseason.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      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.
