fuging sit Brent Burns

Goddamn he was horrible last night. His iron man streak doesn’t matter in the playoffs. Play Nikishin now.

Nikishin is a LHD 

 

Burns is a RHD

I mean at this point I’d play Slavin on his off side. Burns’ metrics last night were some of the worst you’ll ever see from a defenseman in playoff hockey.

I saw that Nikishin plays both ways on D. I’m not worried. Play him.

I don't think you weaken two spots like that and with Slavin still trying to cover for a rookie.

If you sit burns I think you Pair up Slavin/Chatty to have a shut down pairing

And put Orlov/Nikishin (he can play his off side) for that reason and the communication Orlov can communicate with him.

Eh Nikishin isn’t your typical rookie like Demi from Montreal so I don’t have a ton of concern there. But you do bring a good point about the language barrier. Orlov and Nikishin would be our Russian bash brothers.

Theres no way RBA is the coach that breaks his Iron Man streak. Brent Burns will finish the season playing every game. Burns won't be back next season and hes some other coach's problem.

Postseason doesn't count towards it

@Panthers Fan 69 I love your passion, but I am really glad you aren't the coach of the Canes.  You have some real knee jerk reactions to single games by our guys.  They are human too bro, calm down and let's just keep the faith brother!

Let's Go Canes!!!

Would love it to happen. His laziness behind the net could have easily cost us 2-3 more goals last night.

and you think bringing in who to play while he sits is a better idea?

Ok, so you don't have a serious answer. 

I am just trying to point out you can't just get pissed off and say off the wall things when there isn't a better option that won't help the team's chemistry.

I am sure Burnsy knows he played like hot garbage last night and RBA might have even told him, not that a vet that's played as long as he has needs to know that.

Anyways, y'all carry on with the knee jerk shizz.

No, literally call up any of our AHL defenseman to replace him. Obviously it's too late now, but he should have been phased out of our lineup much earlier in the season and been turned into the 7th defenseman. I could care less about his iron Man streak - I care about winning.

This isn't a one bad game sample size - he's been awful most of the year and the only reason why his stats aren't much worse is because he has arguably the best defensive defenseman in the NHL as his d partner to constantly bail him out.
