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?

    • I'm OK with it. I think it's a little high considering his injury history and weight issues, but Coker seems to be a solid kid that has an understanding of what it takes to be a pro, and I believe that they believe that he did enough last season to show that he's ready to be a consistent force within the offense. Let's go, Coker, be all that everyone, including yourself, knows that you can be!
    • https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/onsi/xavier-legette-s-offseason-focus-could-help-unlock-panthers-wr I am going to be totally honest here: If I had to bet Xavier Legette would pass or fail--well, maybe catch on or drop (pun obviously intended), my money--err, pie in Zod's coming Huddle wagering system😅), I would pick the latter based upon what I've seen the last couple of years. But, like the writer, Preston Palm✋🏽, says, I'm going to be optimistic. Why not? It's the time of year for it, and I've told y'all before that through my fully grown skepticism, I haven't completely given up on X. I'm rooting for the kid.  X knows he can't have another year like the last, he said it himself: "My main thing is just to have a better year. I can't have another year like last year, I can't do that." He knows what's on the line. He's not dumb, however much some of you want to equate being country, or, more specifically, "talking country," with being dumb (which is kind of dumb in itself, but I digress...). X knows what's on the line, very clearly. As such, he has made some changes according to Palm ✋🏽, "Legette has looked noticeably thinner at minicamp this year and has reportedly dropped 7-9 pounds, which should alleviate some pressure on his hamstrings and not force as much impact on them every route he runs." You see, part of X's problem the last couple of seasons were his hamstrings, and now, he's focused on "bulletproofing" his hammies.  But of course X's journey hasn't just been about physical misfortunes and injuries, he knows that he hasn't displayed the best football, so he's embracing the pressure to perform, and likens it to what he did at USC (the southern version *sarcasm present*) during his time there. He exploded on the scene during his senior year, so hopefully he'll do something similar in year three of the NFL. Though we've recently seen some receivers breakout sooner, many receiver still don't break out until their third season due to the complexity of NFL route trees and such. I've never been an X hater, but I'm a realist. Still, I'm looking for X to make the jump. That would be the best for all involved.  
    • Tort is a fuging asshole. But, I love that he will keep starting Hart.
