Just hope we don’t get swept this series. This isn’t Nashville.

Yeah, we lucked out getting a very bad team in Nashville game 1.

We keep playing like poo and a sweep is likely to happen. Honestly thought game 1 was a must win for us. Now its a matter of do we lose in 4 games or 6 games

Damn! Vas stood on his head 6v5. But, Staal made a stellar play to steal the faceoff and let Ned get off the ice in the first place. 

Agreed, but we are skilled enough it shouldn't take Staal having to make a great play like that for us to get it into their zone to get Ned off the ice. 

This one is on Ned, he seems to be able to shake the soft goals off so on to game 2.  If we lose both games at home we are toast.

We definitely did not play like poo tonight. We just didn't take advantage of the opportunities in the first period and Ned let in a soft goal.

Intensity is up. Just have to finish. I know once we go EN they will bang one in to win. Have we had a single 6 on 5 goal all season?

I don’t remember which game, but did have one this season. Rod pulled the goalie a little early and it paid off.  I vividly remember Tripp commenting on the pull being early.

Carolina played better today than any game in the last 2+ weeks. Shots on goal, energy, movement. They just couldn't get anything past Vas. 

Wanna be concerned about something? The power play.

Hopefully we get our act together because yes we have played good but not good enough. Nashville shouldn't have taken 5 games and now fatigue will be a factor. Need to really show up next game.

Yeah the power play is really concerning.  We were clicking most of the season, but it has been a struggle for about a month now.  I really do think we are making one pass too many on the PP.  When you've got the man advantage you gotta let em rip tater chip!

Yeah, we looked more like ourselves this game than any game against the Perdators.

Ned just had a bad moment at a crucial time and it really costs the Canes.

We have to put more than 1 up on the scoreboard though.  Vas is good...we have to be better.

Ice was a factor in that too. He second guessed himself and didn't get the proper traction to readjust to the post.

We need to practice vs Mrazek or Reimer. All of our good shot placements would have gone in vs. a smaller goalie like Ned or Saros. Its been too long since we faced something else.

Gotta get him to move, And it looks like they are still used to taking shots at a saros.... Mrazek is only a little bigger than Ned I know he isn't great but if your trying to emulate the size its got to be Reimer

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
