Yeah they played St. Petersberg SKA of the KHL. It was a rough game. Lot's of cheap shots taken by SKA. Maurice held Staal out of the third period because they were taking runs at him. Gleason pounded some Russian after a cheap shot on Staal. Gleason was ejected. Landed about 7 or 8 solid punches to the guys face. It was great.

Why the NHL even allows their teams to play these scrappy little rat teams is beyond me.

Yeah it was huge over in Russia. They had like 2 hours of pre-game ceremonies. Gleason is one tough s.o.b. I remember last year(I think) when he got about 12 stitches in his face and came back and scored the game winner in overtime.

They took a run at Skinner too. He barely dodged a knee on knee hit that would have probably injured him. Canes didn't play bad the Russians just played dirty.

Can't wait till Thursday and Friday. Start of the season. Both games on Versus.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
