Harbingers

Oh man. Shaq coming back is huge. There might even be hope for the defense today!

Scratch Buttermilk biscuits with country ham, jalapeño red eye gravy and eggs to order. Dunno about later.

Andersen is surprising though I do know we have a ton of rest days this week. Raanta clearly did not impress Rod.

I’d really like to see him on the the staal line in this game but I doubt that will happen.

Should we just make this the game day thread?

Hire a new fugging strength and conditioning coach. I’ve been saying it all along. This college dude is making our players drop like flies.

Well Rhule basically challenged the team last post game. Now the time to see if they buy into his process or not. If we get trounced I could see moral breaking. Where as if it’s close or we win hope will hold out for a few more weeks.

Eh, trade him over the opt out if that’s what it comes to then. The dude will still be worth a 1st at that point.

And then there was one. The panthers just lost in a shootout with Boston. In which they didn’t have barkov shoot for some dumb ass reason. Canes are the last undefeated team!

The KK move was masterpiece trolling that worked out. Ned in Detroit was way better last night but looks to be system player. Andersen has been insane with our defense, Raanta is yet to be determined though. Bear has fit nicely, though it does suck we had to give up Foegele for him but ya gotta give something to get something in the hockey world. Dougies # was just too much for what he’s worth not much we could do there without handicapping ourselves in the future. TDA as long as he can behave himself, Cole & Stepan have all been solid. Of course the panthers are way off from being able to trade commodities. But their depth sucks. I don’t feel like Rhule is the player developer he claims. Ya, maybe of high school talent? But not at the pro level. Honestly the panthers need to do some on ice practices with the canes. Toughen them up a little bit.

The one without Tripp Tracy. Obviously.

Over Fast? Oh no. Fast has been a beast early this year. His boards play is impeccable.

I don’t disagree for Chicago in Chicago, FL and TB for sure but since we got another clinic game vs Arizona who only put up 16 shots on Washington last night. We might as well see how we look with one of the other two up there.

No skate or presser today and no other roster move so far, and I assume no morning skate tomorrow. We can only assume Jarvis will be covering for Nino and Raanta will probably be back in net. Im kinda split on tossing Jarvis on 3rd line or putting up Marty or Lorentz. We know what we are gonna get from Marty, so seeing Lorentz or Jarvis up there might be the way to go.

That’s the biggest issue with NFL media these days. Especially around draft time. It’s getting beyond ridiculous.

How many days did we go without a Watson thread? Good grief.

Rods post game sounds like we lost the game. He was not happy with the performance tonight. Even more so with the injury.

Ya he’s been good on the staal line so far this season too. Hopefully it was just a tweak and he just said fug this. I feel like our energy got a little jilted at the end of this game.

Nvm, didn’t see him pin his skate. Def goaltender interference.

I think that was a goal. Raanta leaves a lot to be desired so far.

They just showed it. He lost his edge and his ankle buckled.

Oh fug. Nino may be out for a hot minute.

Refs really trying to make the spread right now.

Oof, hopefully it wasn’t anything serious. Jarvis may be getting his call up Sunday. The question is who do we send up to the staal line in that case. Marty or Lorentz.

Man, both our defenseman just flat out sealing the edges on the goal when Raanta got out of position was brilliant.
