What's up with Rantanen, after watching him with the Canes and team Finland he looks slow and hesitant,

hard to believe he is a 100 point guy.  Did that trade break him?

Yeah, I noticed, too. He looked very much like he has since coming to Carolina.

My aves buddy told me last night this is just how he looks. Slow and plodding along and you look up he had three points. He told me to have patience and Moose will be fine.

US giving Finland a serious whipping 6-1 with 6 minutes left in the 3rd.

Finland gave the US everything they could handle for 40 minutes. But, the Fins are a severely depleted team missing their best defensemen, and can only hold on for so long.

The Fins PP is a 5-forward set- no D-men. First time I've seen that.

One of the announcers said there are only 11 Finnish D-men in the entire NHL, and the best 3 are all injured and not playing. And the first goal of the game goes to.... you guessed it, a fill-in Finnish D-man with 1 goal  to his name this NHL season.

Also has Jacob Slavin evens out 

Nope. Slavin is a great d-man, don't get me wrong, but with hockey douches like Kreider, Trocheck, Fox, the Tkafukoff brothers, and JT Miller.....

I'm not pulling for Canada, either, so there ya go.

    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.  
    • I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
    • I hate Marchand, but if he became a free agent.....
