Panthers Fan 69

https://www.espn.com/nhl/insider/story/_/id/39936448/nhl-offseason-schedule-keys-draft-picks-trades-free-agency-cap-space#car The article really makes a good point in saying what Most of us are thinking. Gentzel is a top priority and letting Koochie start over Anderson and find Anderson’s replacement is big for us.

Where are you hearing those rumors? Btw I would love if we got to keep Jarvis Guentzel and chatfield. That’s a great off-season. KK is toast. Bad contract. Skjei would be great too.

Paid attention a little bit last year now that the Canes are done I need to pull for another team. Strengths, weaknesses, standings outlook this year. Help educate me so I can enjoy some soccer in the Carolinas this summer. @MillionDollarCam @Anybodyhome @PantherChris

Yep

fug that is sad. Damn we really are going to look different next year. Maybe Donny Wadds call pull some magic in the offseason. Who knows.

Jarvis is going to be a cane for life. Love that kid. Tough as nails. That could be another reason the scoring dropped off there.

Guys necas is going to be tough to see let go. Two years ago, he was in the running to be an all-star next to an Aho. I remember him getting votes as one of the fan votes. I signed a puck for my dads birthday which always stands with me. I really do think Necas is going to go to a team like the leafs that’s prioritizes scoring he’ll get to 80 to 100 points. He will set the NHL on fire. Great player, wrong system.

I love some good ball busting! Doesn’t bother me ha! no promises on that one. I hate losing more than anything. Even when I have no control. Panthers lose I just laugh and move on. Canes lose again in playoffs, it hurts. But, I’m over it now. 24 hour rule.

I should! Maybe I’ll have my daughter write those for you. …or I can take a few of your as well. “Done” “I’m out”

Million dollar questions. I have no clue. The athletic did write a good article on it. They did mention changing to zone in the regular season to start the year. Your players are still going to play well, and may save them some wear and tear as well.

Taking the family today to do the painting on the ice. Going to be pretty emotional walking in there this afternoon. I’ll try to take some pics. This event is always fun but bittersweet.

@LinvilleGorgecan we have this thread pinned at the top and change the title to 2024 Off-season Thread Also, can we un pin the other thread we have since the season is over? Thanks!

It’s not that I don’t like Rod. He is actually my favorite coach of all time next to Jerry Moore from App State that run of 3 straight nattys with the Michigan win was 2nd to none. My issue with rod is he beats up on regular season teams then once he gets to the playoffs, our scoring drops or our goalie play sucks. Every year. Last year, goalie play was good but we couldn’t score. This year, scoring was there but our goalie play was bad. We scored three or more goals in all but 1 game Vs rangers. That should be enough to get you wins in playoff games. It’s one of the other ever single playoffs. Also, his man vs zone is a real thing. Burns had a terrible playoffs. It wasn’t good. Him chasing his guy vs playing zone may have benefited him. You can still check, hit your man, and get back to your area. Like I said, I love rod but his playoff resume is like one poster said, it’s .514. Its average. Average for a cup contender isn’t good. He needs to change his tune of some philosophy and loyalty to aging vets and goalies.

I hope he changes his tune on some things.

Necas is going to be stud with a team like leafs that lets their stars shine. I’m going to miss that guy.

Facts. We looked gased in that third. His system just doesn’t work in the playoffs.

I don’t mind the players except maybe Freddie. My issue is the the philosophies from rod. Man Vs zone. The guys just wore down. Man just fails in the playoffs. Rod needs to change his tune on youth vs loyalty to vets.

Neither is being a good human. Wasn’t a flex since we have a few of us here that are season ticket members. You choose to single me out because you are obsessed with me. Sorry pal. I’m not interested back. Piss off.

I agree with everything but Drury. Drury showed up big time. He is getting better each day. We will need him next year. Koochie is our guy. No doubt. For the canes to take the next steps, Koochie needs to be him.

When I give a damn what you think of me I’ll personally let you know. Have a good life pal.

Wow. Florida two years in a row heading to the ECF. Great goalie play in Bob and scoring. We had a better team but were worse in goal. We owned them in the regular season. Just shows what elite goalie play looks like. bob vs Igor. At what point does rod just roll with Koochie. This is our future being fuged over by stubborn rod.

For the first time under Rod we looked slow and tired. Im know Freddie was used to going at least once a week to stay fresh. Going every other night proved to be too much. To a lot of folks point, it’s why we should have used Koochie more. This last game reminds me of the double overtime win vs the cape. They looked worn out and we just kept coming. Do we need the youth movement to complement the core?

A bit on the homer side but I wouldn’t hate it. Those stats mean we will win more games.

Facts

Thanks pal. That means a lot coming from a fellow fan on here. I actually do own a successful business that allows my family to have a nice life and the privilege to have season tix. The canes allow me to be a fan with ups and downs and not laddered up robot. Something I don’t do in the professional or family world. Prob didn’t think about that one.
