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 used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
