Orlov

He needs to play with Pesce.

Skjei and Pesce can anchor their unit. Orlov and TDA can’t. It’s time to split them up.

Honestly I’d rather split Burns and Slavin. It’s not a permanent solution, IE: a full season thing burns should do, but it’s a jump start.

I'm not ready to give up on Orlov just yet. But, I think we all can see that Orlov - Chatty/TDA 3rd pair ain't working.

We've had 9 different pairings play at least 10 min together on the season. Sorted by Corsi% and xGF%, a few things start to stand out.

Clearly, Brady Skjei is a cyborg sent from the future to pacify humanity skating circles around anthropocene era humans.

Seriously, Skjei is not human.

For some reason, Pesce has skated almost exclusively with Skjei. As good as they are together, I can't help but think our defense, and overall game, would be greatly improved by breaking them up.

The only problem is that Pesce, Chatty and TDA are pretty much, solely, right hand Dmen. Pesce being the only of the 3 to skate on the left side at all this season. Though, I seem to remember Jalen switching sides a good bit last season.

TLDR: My ideal pairings...

Orlov - Skjei (64.8 CF%, 68.2 xGF%)

Burns - Slavin (62.9 CF%, 58.4 xGF%)

Pesce - Chatty (unknown)

TDA

As I said above I’d rather

Orlov - Slavin

Skjei - Pesce

Burns - Chatty/TDA… preferably chatty.

But I agree we gotta try something at this point. Even if it’s splitting one of the longest tenured defensive pairings in the NHL.

or

Burns - TDA (75.0 CF%, 51.0 xGF%)

Eta: stats

Not sure why, but Burns seems to be Chatty's worst pairing and vice versa. Too much machismo on the ice, I guess...

Not sure how I missed it in all my sorting, lmao. But, Pesce - Chatty have skated together for a total of 17 seconds this season. Posting a perfect 100% Corsi and xGF.

Clearly this should be our top pair!!!

They are too similar in play style I think. They both are kinda that long reach but 50/50 offensive guy.

Nah, it's definitely the raw animal magnetism!

The problem is I think if you split those two, the same things people are saying about Orlov will start to be said about Burns.

Slavin, Pesce, Skjei, and at times Chatfield have shown they can anchor a unit. Burns, Orlov, and TDA all need to play with defensive defensemen.

I’d go:

Slavin - Burns

Orlov - Pesce

Skjei - Chatfield/TDA

Are we worried yet that this guy was a bad signing? 2 goals last night were on his man.  Again.   We have tried him with everyone and it’s not working. 
 

would rod bench him for chatty and Tony D?

You guys need to read my (lengthy) post on this very subject in the Canes Flyers thread from earlier this morning.

Yeah, neither of them have ever played on their off-side (they're both lefties).

Orlov-Skjei have the 5th most ice time of any pairing combo this season. Brady skates his off side (on the right) when they are on the ice together.

    • Look I want to be clear I did not want Reich. I never bought in to excluding half the candidates for NFL HC because of what side of the ball they were on as assistants. So, I was not an offensive only person. I am a CEO guy; I feel that NFL HC is just a different job than NFL OC or DC, and you need people suited for that job. Not their old job.  As an aside, it is why if Wilks sucks in SF as DC, it wouldn’t preclude me from hiring him for HC because I have seen him do that job well.  Okay, to Frank Reich: I did accept him once they passed on my guy Wilks. I was never excited, and once Young was the pick I was not much of a fan of anyone in the Panthers organization. No faith in their judgement. Okay. Great.  That said:  I don’t really agree that Reich was so ignorant or horrible and that he hired a bunch of ignorant and horrible people (it was Always going to take time, everyone was brand new practically). Which is becoming more and more the mass attitude it seems like. Pile on Reich. I don’t blame him for the quarterback being bad. I don’t blame the quarterback for being too small and physically inadequate, there is no shame in being short with an average college arm and good accuracy. It is what it is.  Crux of it is I think Reich was caught up in an organizational hurricane that he had no idea how to counter or deal with. I’m gonna say he sort of shut down, froze, because he couldn’t’ see a way forward.  He could not endorse with a clear conscience, whatever he was being pushed to do, I believe, with the young quarterback. That he so obviously didn’t believe in. I think. Could be wrong of course. Now, this is in his mind, I mean from his perspective, and  he could have been wrong. Regardless, we are about to find out real fast who is on the right track with this quarterback analysis. I think. Either that or we shut him down and go fetal position until the season is over. Get that 33rd pick yo! Back to Reich I don’t think a competitive guy lets a crap OL stop him from stretching the field. He knows how important it is. He keeps someone in, he shifts the ‘pocket’ left or right, he figures out a way to get it done. I give you Andy Dalton vs Seattle.  But he isn’t doing it with the rookie. He isn’t, heh, wasn’t pushing Young in anything. I give you Dalton in for a sneak - Hell I bet Young went to Reich and complained about that lol. And that’s what happened there (Uhh, wait.. I am remembering he did push Young one time, about being a more take charge Leader. More vocal. More demonstrative. To speed it up, get the pace rolling, put some pep in your step). But Reich was super over protective of that kid,. To the point of passive aggressive and dragged his feet (to avoid following orders, uh… suggestions) to the point of being fired.  I am not really sure Frank was the yes man people need him to be. I think if he’d have been a yes man he’d still be coach.  edit: It’s all some of the weirdest strangest stuff I have seen since following the NFL.
