Also unless im blind NIKISHIN HAS PLAYED MUCH BETTER THAN MORROW hes big fast and Physical 

Nikishin is out there carrying Orlov.

Morrow hasn’t been bad he’s just not really all that great at anything. Best case scenario is he becomes a Ghost type of player but his skating needs to improve.

Panthers seem to be tired while the Canes seem to be just doing their thing. Wonder if exhaustion is starting to affect them. Either way whatever happened in-between games 2 and 3 seems to be working for the most part.

Both. There was definitely some sort of come to Jesus moment for the team yesterday!

Before he got to the states, I was a little bit worried we were hyping up Nikki too much and he would be a bit of a letdown.

Nah. He's that dude!

Its really simple TBH the D isnt pinching as much and they are playing more disciplined and "reverse pinching" by falling back and boxing out when they try to get in front of Kochetkov I've seen  Orlov and Nikishin each a foot on either side MUSCLING them out when they try to get in front and screen.

Morrow hasn't had much of a chance to be bad he only has a minutes of ice time while everyone else has at least 13 and a half.

His play so far is making Rod look like a real dumbass...   he wouldn't even be on the ice unless we had the Walker injury

Rod’s loyalty and stubbornness will be what ends his tenure in Carolina.

I think he’ll be given one more year after this year with a retooled roster (I expect the Canes to go big game hunting in the offseason) but if he doesn’t make the cup final next year then it’s over for him.

Unless he bring this series back to Carolina tied and makes this a series... I'm not sure he's back next season.

What is with Carolina teams hiring coaches that are stubbornly set in their ways and unable to change?

    • AT got what he deserved. Be gone and enjoy those 4 catches and the bench and your pay cut
    • we have been bad offensively basically every game Rico Dowdle hasn't gone full Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson on folks.  
    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
