I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.

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!!!

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.

      Gameday Thread Steelers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Steelers fans will take over the Stadium and city   It will be unbearable  worse for me, on the west coast, resigned to the nfl network and you know it will be a steelers broadcast team.    It was ungodly bad with sheduer 2 weeks ago  Last game, tried listening  on panthers radio and  watching  on espn live last week but the delay between the 2 drove me nuts  so as bad as they were playing, found something else to do

      I mean I don't have a personal axe to grind with any human on the Panthers roster.  I know AT shouldn't be dominating the slot. The fact he is....is because we have a horrific front office/management.   I can part with any player.   The goal is a winning team.   the root of the AT ranting, is really just looking out for BY (people like to call me BY hater though).  A QB who was basically screwed from day 1 when we got drafted here.  I went hard at Carolina then too for setting him up to fail. Because it was obvious from the jump the setup was failure by design.  Which was true.   I said Frank bad zero sense with BY.  Miles Sandes made double zero sense.  The players they got in FA made zero sense.     Either you build a BY O.....or you move on from BY.  I have said I am cool either way.  We are in no man's land and have been there since they day we drafted him.

      It's the QB school guy mentality. Thielen is a shitty #1 option so aaarrrrggghhhh FUUUUUUUUUG HIM!!! This dude SUCKS!!! Yeah, Thielen should no longer be a #1 option at this stage in his career. He honestly shouldn't be a starter at this point in his career. But it's not an Adam Thielen issue that we've had to ask him to do that.
