This one has the recipe for a let down game. I dont believe Paul Maurice would let that happen, but it sure does have that familiar look. A team thats playing for nothing vs a team thats trying to get home ice advantage. Cam Ward is in goal tonight I hope if we get a few goals up they pull him and give Leighton at least a period behind net. Heres to us winning ang Phili losing. Go Canes!

Hockey isn't like football man. If we go up, Cam is staying in no matter what. He is riding an incredible hot streak right now and you don't do ANYTHING to disrupt that momentum. He isn't gonna get tired down the stretch, trust me. This kind of situation is what goalies train their entire lives for. Besides that, Brodeur is his idol and he averages 75 games a year. I have no doubt Cam will be ok even if he doesn't get a rest from here on out. GO CANES!!!

I've never been a huge Cam Ward supporter, but he is now showing signs of what I've always known he COULD be...a solid everyday goalie. In the past, he's only been able to play well when there is something on the line. Now, he's playing well on a nightly basis, and he doesn't seem to be letting up.

If you can get the "important game" effort out of Cam Ward on a nightly basis, he is a scary matchup for opponents.

3-0 now, at the end on the first :) This is the kind of Canes team that I likes. One that plays well and beats the poo out of an opponent when they are supposed to. You're supposed to be playing like this against the worst team in the NHL...and it's a refreshing change from the past few seasons to see it happening.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
