I'll be there tonight as well.

Did anyone notice a stat Bally put up that showed Nashville is leading the league in hits and that the Canes are DEAD LAST in hits - hope not being physical enough won't come back and bite us in the playoffs like it did last year.

I did see this last night and there are a couple different thoughts I have, mostly I think the Canes brand of hockey would suffer if they were to become a much more physical team. Teams try to slow the Canes down by making hits and getting physical, and there are rare occasions when that happens. But, for the most part, the Canes are better when they're getting up and down the ice, not laying hits in the defensive zone- it only slows down the opportunities for breaks and getting behind the D.

That being said, Waddell did bring Orlov, TDA, Bunting and Lemieux in to be those guys that would provide some sandpaper to the roster. And the one who shows it better than any of those guys? Noesen.

I think he's on short notice tonight. If tonight's game gets out of hand and his goaltending is the reason, I don't think RBA will wait to pull him.

After tonight, 3 on the road in Toronto, Rags and Washington. Canes needed last night's 2 points, another 2 tonight and at least 3 of the next 6 points available on the road, although 2 wins would be okay with me. 

Another back-to-back next Friday-Saturday (@ Washington, come home for St. Louis).

      Only team with a winning record…

      I know it can’t be done, but taking out the NE and BUF games turn that differential around. Those two games alone count for a -60 point differential for the Panthers.   The only other loss that was a bit out of hand was the Jacksonville game, which had a -16 differential, and the first ATL win was a +30. All in all, a few lopsided games but most have been close.   All it says is the Panthers aren’t dominating teams when they win, and they have a complete dud of a loss every few games.

      And a negative scoring differential. We have scored 207 points for, and 249 given up. Tells me a lot about this team, some of it good more of it bad. My questions are why do we think that is?    And what can we do differently to start winning more games by a wider margin. It does feel like we are much more competitive this season and for that I am grateful. We are going in the right direction. But what pieces could we add to help us be more well rounded. What can we do to score more points on a regular basis? All speculative obviously, and more future thinking than now because we can’t change what’s already happening. But these numbers worry me a bit for our playoff hopes, because the NFC North, and the West have some pretty good teams and I could see both of those divisions sending two teams to the playoffs. Just thought that was an interesting number when it caught my eye. What say you, you ole miserable panther fans?
