Panthers Fan 69

Even if Sorokin finds last years form I don't think it will be enough for the Isles we beat  in 6 with freaking MacKenzie Mckeathern on Ahos wing the Canes ability to score is much greater than last year...
These are the players the Canes didn't have last season when we played you.

Guentzel
Svechnikov
Teravainen
Orlov
Anderson

And Jarvis has made a huge leap up to being a 33 goal scorer (honestly if Rod hadn't glued him to Staal for half the season he probably would have gotten 40)

Every one of these is a massive upgrade over what we trotted out agaist the Isles last season.... couple that with Sorokins poor year and yes I'd be shocked if this series was close.... on the scoreboard or otherwise.

Take a look at who he's played while "hot" not to mention Freddie is Hotter....

The Islanders aren't gonna score more than 2 4x....

 

Remember Rod doesn't line match in the regular season I just don't see them scoring enough for this to be a close series....

 

This isn't last year our top scorer isn't gonna be Jesper Fast,

Varlamov beat the rags and Preds, In fact he blanked the Preds, in his last 5. Rags, Preds, Winnipeg and Florida in his last 10 only losing to Ottawa in OT and Tampa. 
 

Varlamov… “is 8-1-1 in 10 games with a goals against average of 2.09 and a save percentage of .930 in his last 10 games.”

Yes Freddie is on point but don’t sleep on the islanders or Varlamov.

He blanked the Preds after they clinched and had nothing to play for Freddie Anderson is 9-1 in his last ten with a 1.3 GAA and a save % of .951.

Canes have the Advantage there.

The only Advantage the Isles have is in hits and blocked shots, which probably wouldn't be one if the Canes didn't have possession of the puck 61% of the time..

 

#2 PP vs #32 PK (71.5%) 

#1 PK vs #19 PP

 

If this makes it to six I'd be shocked. The only hope they have Is if Varlomov can go God mode and the Canes PP reverts to back what it was last post season without Guentzel, Svechnikov, Orlov .

Any updated on Quickie?

In the playoff thread.

Will not start game 1.

Wont know till he practices, paraphrases Rod.

”Not a concussion”. A “neck sprain” per Donny Wads. “A matter of days”. 
 

I am sure they are probably physically restraining him from getting on the ice. You ain’t gonna keep that dude out. Not for the playoffs. 
 

Edit: I also want to point out in the presser Donny Wads specially referenced the MSF line. You can find all the pressers at: 

canespr.com ->media availabilities. 
 

MSF mother fuger. Better fugging happen.

    • Just chasing targets is a fools game. Chase averaged 85 yrds and .76 TDs per game his first year and 87.16 yrds, and .75 TD's per game his second year. Statistically the same. NOT an improvement. Puka saw no increase either. Yes, Waddle's went down because he had to share targets with another receiver - just like TMac will have to share targets with Coker next year so you have actually just made my point concerning Coker. Olave saw an increase in targets but Carr replaced Dalton and even with the increase in targets, his production was pretty flat (83 extra yards and 1 more TD for the entire year). And Wilson's number did increase but the Jets replaced the other two receivers and their contribution was significantly down from Davis's and Moore's. Again, nothing in those numbers should lead anyone to believe there will be a big leap for Tmac next year.       
    • See my previous post. You're also leaving out that T-Mac was likely hitting a rookie wall, like 95% of rookies do late in their first season, combined with the added attention on him by defenses, which in turn would be why Bryce looked Coker's way down the stretch.  With Coker playing like that to start next year, defenses will have to pay attention to it, which will then also make things easier for T-Mac. All of which is also ignoring that T-Mac will just be a better player next year than he was this year, assuming he works on his game this offseason, which we all know he will be.  If a player who was already your clear cut #1 comes back even better his next season, you're going to make sure you're throwing it his way more often, no matter who else you have. Again, Coker's added targets won't be at the expense of T-Mac's, they will BOTH be taking targets from the rest of the team.  Not to mention, we should be passing it more next year to begin with, seeing as we'll have both of them hopefully ready to go full speed Week 1, which again, will help both their target totals increase. Coker looks like a really good player, but even the most optimistic person can't say he looks like he has #1 potential, he has very solid to maybe even high end #2 potential.  You're not taking targets away from the reigning OROY who looks like a true Top 15 WR already to get your #2 targets, you increase both of them by taking from the others.
    • Need to crush the hawks tonight. A lose would really damage momentum
