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 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

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

@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!!!

Literally an ahl player

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.

    • I'm super excited about the guys we're getting back, and fortunately this year, outside of Robert Hunt, we haven't had any season-threatening injuries. Rico has earned the start, but I am excited to have both available.  The team is finally turning into the run-first team Canales said he wanted to be. As for JT Sanders, I think he has lost the most be being out. He is probably our best receiving TE, but with the emergence of Mitchell Evans & with him and Tommy Tremble both absolutely balling in run blocking, it will be hard to fix something that isn't broken. I'm hoping Turk Wharton can help with our pass rush. We really havent gotten to see him much due to injuries, but we desperately need anyone to provide some pass rush juice, which is what he was brought to do. I'm the most excited about Jalen Coker returning. Theilen may have been the most clutch last year, but I've watched a lot of film, and Coker was the most consistent WR we had when he was out there last year.  I think he can be an ideal #2 to Tmac. While Coker doesn't have the raw athleticism XL does, his route running, savvy, and overall football IQ simply make him better.  I think with the fact Coker can play both outside and in the slot will give our pass game more versatility.  We have been running a lot of 2 TE sets, and I think Tmac & Coker should be the primary WRs for 12 personnel. The other WRs (XL, Tremayne, Renfrow, & Horn) all have roles, but I dont think any of them can fully replace what Coker can do. I do think Renfrow will be inactive this week if everyone is healthy bc of how valuable Tremayne is for ST and as a run blocker. So happy that we are playing meaningful football heading into November. We are still almost certainly a year away, but we are absolutely moving in the right direction
