Ghost may be the second coming of a responsible Dougie Hamilton, but he hasn't been great defensively historically. 

In some respects, he's better defensively than Hamilton. I was never a Hamilton fan, regardless of his offense. He never took advantage of his size and always seemed to me that he avoided scraps and rarely stood up for his teammates. Gostisbehere is a better PP point man than Hamilton and I think the team is willing to overlook the defensive lapses as long as he produces in the O-zone.

Orlov is....well an aging Orlov.

Orlov's preseason is some of the worst play I've ever seen from any Canes player in a long time. He was just bad- no other way to put it. I don't know if he flipped a switch or what, but his play so far has been the best D I've seen from him since he got here.

I almost wonder if Koochie needs to see a few more pucks during games.  I think our system is so adept at not allowing many SOGs that our goalies get bored and start thinking about hitting the clubs after the games.  😄

Yes. And this includes Andersen. They share the same focus issues. They both give up, on average, one goal a game they'd like to have back. Precisely the reason I'd never bet them to pitch a shutout.

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
