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!!!

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.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
