I agree that playing with Slavin makes any defenseman look better and have better stats, but I still stand by the fact you don't even think about plugging in an AHL d-man for someone who has played the entire year during the playoffs unless it is due to injury.

I am looking at this year's run as a bonus because I did not think that the Canes would win a series in the playoffs.  Knocking NJ out and hopefully the Crapitals is gravy!

Can I interest you in the top KHL defenseman?

I fully believe Nikishin is more than capable, but there is something to be said for team chemistry and NHL playoff experience.  I mean if the decision was made to sit Burns, we have the ideal guy to pair with Nikishin as well in Slavin so there's that.

Since we are talking about Burnsy, does he go one more year or retire?

He should retire, but I could see him signing somewhere else for a year before he does.

Brindamour said this isn't the time of the year for making changes and therefore expect Nikishin to be a healthy scratch til at least two defenceman get injured. Yes I said two because ya don't make changes and there other guys on the roster who've played with the group in games.

The most recent comment I heard from Rod he said it takes time to learn the language so you can understand instructions players are saying on the ice. But he ended with “but we do want to get him in there.”

I expect to see Nikishin at some point in the playoffs.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
