I hate when people say crap like that dude. Thank you for shaming him and I hope everyone else does also

Anyway we can somehow make the plot of 50 first dates into a Panthers themed movie? Plot: each season, my memory loss/amnesia kicks in and I forget how awful the Panthers are. After watching them suck and swearing to never watch them again, I forget and repeat it all over again each season. Happy ending is when they finally win a Superbowl as the world is coming to an end. Movie title: (Never) Remember the Panthers

In all honesty, burns was just going through the motions most of the season. I don't think we will have that much drop off in the pass rush, especially if Evero can scheme clever blitzes. Honestly, luvu is a bigger loss to our pass rush IMO

Seeing as how the Bears pretty much got the same thing for a better, more complete Montez Sweat (that also cost them less money to sign to a deal), I can live with getting a 2nd. Obviously it's no 2 1sts, but that scenario was never happening again for Burns

Or drop less than 50% of the passes that hit him right in the hands...

If he is able to get a 2 reception/game average out of Ian Thomas, give him the keys to the city

I'm sure he's also been throwing 100 yard bombs and now magically has 3.50 40 speed

Well, if there is a dman we have to bail out orlovs turnovers, it's Chat

He is such an underrated defensive defenseman for us. I honestly think he is second behind slavin. I think that is a great deal that we got for him.

Lol, good one. Rod will never let Necas Play center

All I can say is... I have some happiness off the rags choking and losing to the Panthers. Hopefully the Western conference team wins the Stanley cup, but now I can be 100% uninvested in the playoffs

If there is one reprieve I will give icky, the dude has a turnstile rotation of guards next to him the entire year that forced him to have to worry about inside and outside rushers

Equal parts hilarious and reality

I could see us beating the Chargers. East coast trip for them (I feel like they usually play terrible on the east coast trips) and their skill weapons on offense is probably more void of talent than ours is.

I can honestly never recall a goalie that fell down as many times as Freddie did in the playoffs... Like it was watching a 5-year-old as they first learn how to ice skate

1. No 2. Ideally both, but if not Jarvis has to be top priority 3. Make Pyotr The starter next year. Sign a cheap veteran backup. 4. Marty - absolutely. I feel like staal retires and I think we can let go of Burns 5. Agreed - let's see what his price is 6. I'd prioritize Brady over pesce (personally) 7. Not soon enough... 8. I wouldn't say his system is trash, but his refusal to make adjustments makes his system vulnerable to certain teams I'm curious how the players would feel if Rod is let go. I would still take a chance with a new coach though - I think we have hit our peak with him

Even if Pyotr went God mode, Rod would probably still start some bum like mrazek in net over him...

Amen - That's what I'm saying. We knew what we were getting out of Freddie - a goalie that fell down in net every three shots that has no lateral quickness in net... Definitely somebody I don't want in net as a starter in the playoffs

Sadly, that should be all the reason we need to not bring Rod back... His assistants are ass

Not sure he will after losing this series... I hope I'm wrong because he was amazing for us before we started f****** with lines and separated him, Aho, and Jarvis

Yeah... I don't know how you think after game 3 that Freddie is the goalie to go to the rest of the way... I might be in the minority, but I would have strongly considered benching him after that terrible second goal the rags scored. Once you see that goal go in, the skaters realize that they pretty much have to hold the other team to no shots the rest of the way to win

It would be interesting if he went to Toronto. Literally no one on that roster fits his system

Sucks is an understatement. I honestly don't think we would have allowed much more goals had we just played empty net the entire game

I doubt guentzel comes back, no matter who our coach is.

The problem is Rod's system has proven not to work in the playoffs and he has proven that he is overly loyal to veterans and won't make adjustments to his system... He's the type of coach that will succeed in the regular season (like he has), but likely won't in the playoffs unless his players Play above their level. Agreed that there aren't many options that I know of available, but I'd rather do the change now than wait another 2 years to realize the same thing
