So far, our PK sucks. Our PP sucks. Snider is playing out of his mind, and so is Ward. Our D is just congesting too much in front of the net. Get the puck away, lay some hits and don't give chances on rebounds. This first period has been terrible offensively. Hopefully some adjustments are made at the intermission to get some scoring chances and hold the puck in the offensive zone more.

12 shots, but only about 4 were good ones. They've had 10 and I'd say at least 5 were good. Much better ratio. We're shooting RIGHT INTO blocks from the point. I know I saw at least 2 that hit a defender as soon as it left the stick. And it isn't like they're 1 timers. Our d-men are just setting up and trying to fire straight through them. I don't mind that as much if we're up, hell, maybe we hurt one of them. But down 2, pick your shots better.

What is sad is, Vancouever is doing VERY basic stuff offensively. Little drop passes as they enter the zone, WITH defenders there. We're just not picking it up. The Canucks are doing things I have seen at the pee wee level. Need to be smarter defensively.

You missed a good goal. In case you haven't seen a replay of it, O'Sullivan has a 1-1 on a breakaway pass. He holds up once he enters the zone at the top of the circle to wait for Sutter, takes a look his way, fires at the net, top shelf. Pretty solid goal. Been waiting to see him produce offensively, and he did.

The 3rd should get scrappy. We stole a LOT of the momentum on that goal. Been playing better since. Hope it carries over.

      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.
