Carolina defeats the defending Stanley Cup Champions for the third consecutive time this season and lead the series 3-0. Jiri Tlusty screens Tim Thomas for two of the three full strength goals and Staal adds the empty netter to continue his impressive scoring streak to 5 games. Ward continues to face more pucks than anyone else and only his outstanding ability to keep those pucks out of the net allowed the Canes to win. Harrison's strong wrist shot from the blue line helped, too.

The Storm Squad is happy and that makes everyone very happy.

Goals: Dwyer, Faulk, Harrison, Staal.

Assists: Sutter, Brent.

WIN: Wardo LOSS: Thomas

Stops-SOG: Ward - 33-35 (.943), Thomas 17-20 (.850)

Penalties:

CAR 3 (Allen - slashing, Staal - elbowing, Samson - tripping)

BOS 1 (Lucic - slashing)

My 3 stars:

3: Ward

2: Faulk (goal, +2)

1: Harrison (game winning goal, +2)

HM: Tlusty - was a constant presence in front of Thomas and the goal. Thomas is an elite goalie and the best way to score is with traffic in his face. Tlusty seemed to plant himself there when the Canes were on the attack and his efforts sealed the win.

BOXSCORE

It just makes no sense to me how we're not having a good year but can beat the defending Stanley Cup Champs 3 times in a row.

We are a really streaky team this year. IDK. Some nights our passing is on, others it's not.

I think Cpt. Kirk will turn out to be a good coach. Right now we are just trying a crap-ton of different things with the lines.

It will be interesting to see what our team looks like next year with all these rookies getting good playing time this year. A few of them have really stepped up and showed they have what it takes to be a staple in the lineup.

      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.
