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?

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
