Should never had to fight thru OT. The Canes flat out did not handle the push from the Kings in the 2nd and 3rd periods, and lost most of their offense along the way. It was sheer survival mode for 2/3 of the game and the Canes couldn't even clear. 

Ehlers is on the cusp- he looks like he's going to break out at any moment. Not sure the Canes have had a puck handler and passer like him in a few years. He's a beast below the goal line and can shoot from anywhere. He's frustrated right now and every time he comes off the ice he's shaking his head and slamming his stick.

Aho, OT notwithstanding, is a hot mess right now. Bad passes, losing pucks...

Vegas (4-0-2) Monday, Avs (5-0-1) Thursday and Dallas (3-2-0) Saturday before coming home. These first 3 games were only a tune up.

I’d be okay with one win, happy with two and ecstatic with all three.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?

      LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.

      After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
