Think it’s important that we get a lot more offense from our defense this series.

We only got two goals from the defense last series and if for some reason the forwards get cold, we are going to need a lot more from that.

Also need Kuzy and Necas to have the series’ of their lives. They’ll be the best players on the ice when they are out there against the Rangers bottom six, they need to play like it.

Finally, guess I’ll pick up Raising Canes for the game, got to show my support somehow.

It was because Varlamov had a super strong high glove side and excellent rebound control, plus high selling out to block by the islanders(something the rags do also but not the extreme the islanders do it). One of those two goals came against Samsanov almost immediately. 
 

Igor on the other hand is fallible glove high sometimes, not as bad as Bob though for sure.

Necas may have only had 1 goal but he had a quietly good series against the islander 5 points, 1g, 4a, 1.0 ppg, though he is a -1. His defense was definitely not the best last series. 

Frankly, Aho and Guenz need to up their game. Guenz was a .8 ppg with an empty netter so you could argue he’s a .6 on game changing points, Aho is also a .6 ppg. 
 

Kuz isn’t really a stat issue. +2, 2g 2a, 4p. But he was off a lot last series in the ozone. I don’t know if he was trying too hard or not enough but…

Does anyone know if Bally’s is still gonna do a pre-game/post-game show? I’d rather not have to listen to PK and Messier fawn over the rags. Wish we were on TNT/TBS. Really grown to like the TNT/TBS crew this playoffs, which is the opposite of last year.

Yeah, these national guys are tough to watch.

Sounded like no on the podcast. Willis will be doing some stuff on WRAL.

      I hate to burst anyones bubble but this guy played 188 total defensive snaps in three years but 802 special teams snaps. If we do kick the tires, it's probably gonna be for that latter part.

      I do believe that Evero gets canned before the end of the season and Capers takes over the D. I think the stage is set for Evero to fall on the sword for a 4-7 win season.  Not saying it would be a set up but I do think if that transpires, the seat under DC might start getting pretty warm, rightly or wrongly. That's my read on Tepper. I am not at all excited nor am I dreading anything. I just have extremely low expectations so I am just waiting to see what this revision of the roster looks like.  I FEEL like we are better on paper than last season's team but I wouldn't be remotely shocked if we were as bad or worse. Again, I do think this is the 2nd worst roster in franchise history overall. What will really make me happy is for some of the big questions to finally be answered(Bryce, Ikey, Horn, etc). I would like to see a real expansion of our core player pool(basically just D. Brown currently). I want to see a couple of hits in free agency and a couple in the draft. If we accomplish those things, I have faith that we are at least moving in the right direction after many, many years doing the opposite.

      Considering our depth. Certainly kick the tires.
