No practice today for the canes. Don’t know about Florida. Also it sounds like Lomberg will be back for the series, yay… more dirty for Florida, sigh.

Future Alt of Panthers Fan 69 here.  Im mean when teams goonit up against us it doesn't wok out well.  Look at that first round vs the islanders.   They had no shot when they gooned up.  Let Florida play dirty   we will just rack up goals.

Rod will obviously move Tuevo around if he is in shape/ready, but i wonder if this initial pairing is more about keeping him away from an immediate Tkachuk slash

Doubtful, because at least for the first two games I highly suspect we will put the Staal line against the Bennett(Tkachuk) line. We could put him against the Barkov but I think shutting down and frustrating the Bennett line is priority. That’s why it’s kind of surprising, since the Staal line requires the most energy/defense. 
 

Im guessing they said TT is a very good two way player and he’s been resting for a month. If his hand is good he’s going to give us the best option shutting down Tkuchuk.

if it's me i'm putting Staal on Barkov, KK line on Bennett, and matching up our 1 vs their 3 at home. Not saying you're wrong necessarily, it could go that way.  On the road in the regular season finale they matched our Aho line with Barkov so I'm expecting that again on the road.

That does have an on paper benefit of freeing up our 1, but their 3 is their shutdown line too, Jersey tried putting their shutdown Vs. Our 2 and look what happened. That’s why I think Aho V. Barkov like you said happened in the regular season. Though I’d go flip in that scenario, Staal still on Bennett, KK on Barkov.

their 3rd and 4th lines are gonna be grossly overmatched no matter what happens, that's sort of the separator here that the media lauding FLA for being world beaters and tryharding kind of ignores

Ya… as much as I wish we’d replace Stepan with Each if Drury stays on 4. I understand why we are keeping Stepan. Drury will(should) also be covering Stepans fugups going neutral to defensive. Who knows Maurice could redistribute his lines to create a spread. We’ll see.

Just curious - if TT is able to play, who sits for him? Hopefully Mac keeps his spot and we sit Stepan (or Stastny) - Mac has been relentless on his forecheck and has meshed very well with our system.

Hopefully our lines are:  Jarvis - Aho - Mac; TT - KK - Necas; Fast, Staal, Marty; Drury - Stastny - Noesen

      They gave him franchise QB money. Sorry but if you don't earn it you can be embarrassed.   He's rich he can take it. Stop feeling sorry for people who can't live up to their contract. This isn't a sport to be soft. Daniels deserves to give back some of that money he stole if you ask me.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And it was coming off of a bye week. Perhaps he should vacation a bit in Germany in the off season, something certainly seemed to help him there.  No, really... He showed maturation and the possibility that he's turning a corner. That wasn't the NY Giants out there, but the back to back Super Bowl champions with the #3 defense in the league, with them coming off of a prime time loss. And that was a 9-1 team we just played literally down to the last second. Bryce played so well that maybe, maybe he wins over some nay-sayers. It's still early, though, but what a nice breath of fresh air that was. You can win quite a few games if that is your normal performance. It is obvious that we are still on the learning curve, though. But that was one helluva test he just took. Some of these QBs coming out of college just don't have a lot of games under their belts, especially in top end programs. They are perhaps just a year to two years behind center in games that matter before they move up. It can take them some time to hit their stride. We can still be cautious about our future and still celebrate a great game by the kid, though, and we should. He earned the laurels today, or had before they were snatched away at the last second.
