Canes vs Blue Jackets 7pm

It was a set play off the faceoff and Martinook was supposed to roll back and pick up that pass. The replay doesn't show whether Marty jumped into the circle or if he just got caught up in the wash and never got to the spot. The replay didn't show where #48 went, but you can clearly see Burns yell at Martinook (which is a pretty fugging rare occasion) after the play. A pretty obvious miscommunication.

That is why I posted--I want to learn more about the game on the next level.  I was getting upset (watching the game) and directed my anger towards Burns a few times.  Last night, Blake tried to clear the zone and failed, leading to a Columbus goal.  However, it was my (Naive) impression that Burns put Blake in a bad situation by mishandling the puck right before it--Again, trying to understand the nuances and not afraid to ask--thanks for the detailed response.

Pucks are mishandled a lot, especially late in periods when the ice is a mess. Pucks roll, bounce, change direction and younger players have less difficulty with their quicker reflexes and feaction time.

You have the opportunity, as a Canes fan, to watch one of the elite defenseman in Jaccob Slavin. He's not physical and he's not aggressive. An exceptional skater and stick-handler, he puts himself in advantageous positions and his ability to disrupt almost seems effortless.

Slavin cranks up the physicality in the Playoffs though I loved game 7 agaist the bruins a few years back when he put Marchand into the bench about 30 feet from me.

No question. He's made a couple big hits this season as well. He doesn't make it a routine part of his game.

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
