No Pesce for remainder of 1st round. TDA draws in...I'm always worried about defensive injuries in the playoffs for the Canes. Our defensive style doesn't bode well for substitutes.

Hopefully Tony plays well! LETS GO CANES.

Pesce was out most of game 2.... love pesce but if we had to lose someone he's probably the one you'd pick.

 

This just moves Orlov/Chatfield up to pair two....

 

TDA isn't close to Pesce defensively but he does add even more offense.

I don't disagree with this, however...in our man defensive philosophy people can get lost in translation and grade A's appear. It helps to have a lot of game time to get into the flow of it all. 

I think 2010 was the last year a primarily man defense won the cup...everyone has to be perfect. Hopefully, he comes in and doesn't miss a beat!!

Early in the year when Pesce was out he played surprisingly well defensively...

As pissed as I was in game 82 (I bet hard on the canes before RBA announced he was sitting starters) I wouldn't hold game 82 against him the game didn't matter.... I suspect he comes in and plays well/very hard because he wants to play in the playoffs (who doesn't) and it's not like he doesn't have experience in our system he played like 90 games two seasons ago. He's also a boost to the PP.

He’s not slotting in on the PP. That’s a liability.

This. He has been grading out as our worst defenseman on the ice in most games this season.

That just means our forwards have to be more aware that TDA is on the ice and we can't afford to be leaving him back defending 2 on 1s

I don't expect him to be perfect but I suspect he will be putting in the effort defensively to not be a complete liability and stay in the lineup over Marrow....

He adds more offense so hopefully it will offset any defensive lapses.... he's fantastic at walking the line and postponing himself to keep pucks in... (something burns has been making me go wtf why are you so out of postion when guys are slinging it to the point)

Actually, Pesce is not usually our worst defenseman on grade on average and usually is middle of the pack to high on stat card solo. 

Something people need to remember is for defensive lines in the NHL over 800 minutes. We take 1, 5 and 9 x goal against per 60. 1, 10, 20 x goal against(skjei/pesce is the 10. 2, 3, 11, x goal.

Individually, Pesce is second on the team in blocks and per 60 it’s a country mile. Has a 5.8 x goal despite having little offense. TDA is a 1.8. Pesce also has our least amount of defensive zone giveaways with 14. To put that in perspective he has 18 give away in 1400 minutes, Orlov has 17 defensive zone giveaways in the same amount of time(36 total).

TDA has 14 giveaways with 8 defensive zone giveaways in 440 minutes. 
 

TDA and Pesce are not the same. Y’all give Pesce far too little credit to how well he plays in rods system.

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
