Canes vs Panthers Rd 3 Game 2 Thursday 8pm

[carpanfan96]

LFG CANES!!!!

 

I can't watch tonight as I have surgery in the morning.

Here's hoping that chatty can play near or at 100%. If not hopefully someone locks Morrow out of the rink or in a closet somewhere so Nikishin can take his place.

Idk, but this just popped up..

KK and Nikki skating with the healthy extas +Chatty.

Sounds like Janko in for KK and Scotty2Notty if Chatfield can't go.

Then there is this quote from Rod when asked about if Chatty can't go.

“I think those two are our best options and it will be one of them. Scotty, I think he understands our game better because he's been playing it for a year and the flow of playing one game and coming right back to another game I think is a consideration. Those are all things we'll have to figure out.”

Nikishin is struggling to learn to speak both American and Canadian in such a short period of time

I mean Rod fuged up by not putting Orlov and Nikishin together. Orlov can play his off side. He did it a bunch in Washington.

Nikishin can’t speak English so putting him with Ghost is useless.

Spread the wealth…

Svechnikov - Aho - Blake

Hall - Jankowski - Jarvis

Martinook - Staal - Carrier

Robinson - Roslovic - Stankoven

Slavin - Burns

Nikishin - Orlov

Gostisbehere - Walker

Did he really just say that Morrow is in consideration???? If he plays Morrow after that game 1 I'm out on him as a coach and that should get him fired immediately before the game.

There’s a video out there of Chatfield skating. By the looks of it he might not be back for the rest of the playoffs.

Morrow can’t be trusted and if the language barrier is too big of an issue than just roll with Stillman. He’s at least physical.

I don’t like any of this. Last time rod hit the blender early in the season it killed our momentum.  Kk has no been great so I get Janko coming in but Morrow again??? Over Boom??  What is happening?

[PNW_PantherMan]

I stand by Rod's decision whatever it is.  Unless we lose.  Then he's gotta go.

If he plays Morrow after that game 1 disaster, it will make me question his decision making abilities going forward and honestly make me want him fired just for sheer stupidity and being a stubborn hard headed nincompoop
