Only thing I’ll say about the back and forths last night(this series in general). I’ve seen a lot of hate for Skjei. Y’all are fuging out of your minds with that. The dude is one of the 3 reasons we have had the best defense in the league for the past 4 seasons. His partner one of the other 3 reasons we’ve had the the best defense in the league for the past 4 seasons, has been more suspect these playoffs, but Pesce is obviously playing with a major injury. Just like Stall. You can tell by their movements neither is close to full capacity. 
 

Oh and I don’t mean banged up, everyone is bruised and banged up. I mean fighting through a real potential injury.

Florida took out Boston and is playing ridiculous defense right now and will probably win the Cup.  Not over yet by any means but everything is falling their way

Of all the teams I didn't want to play it was Florida. 

The way they came back against Boston and then took Toronto and now us out back behind the shed, I knew they would pose a huge challenge.  They were the worst match up left for us and here we are.

I give them credit, they have the neutral zone defended well and have been really good keeping us outside when we do gain the zone.  Bob is out of his mind right now and we aren't getting any kind of breaks as far as posts or fluke goals.  Still think we gotta throw everything remotely at Bob and have net front presence.

Oh and for the love of he who is good and kind, please stop making cross ice passes unless they are available.

This Florida team reminds me of some old NJ Devils teams that just dominated defending and had a G you just couldn’t beat.  These guys are grinders and Rod has to appreciate that even at his own expense.  They have faced multiple OT games in these playoffs and not sure they have lost yet.  They are feeling invincible in these close situations

I wanted to avoid goalies that had or were playing elite. Bobrovsky, Oettinger and Shitsterkin were the ones that concerned me.

I had zero fear of Boston's goalies. I knew that was BS.

Vegas stole Oettingers lunch money with 3 goals in the first 7:10 minutes so he was replaced with Wedgwood. So yah a good goalie can be beat. Canes need to steal Bobrovsky’s lunch money Weds night.

They can be beat but once you get one of those elite tier guys on a heater(like Bob is) it's almost impossible. 

It may not last forever but it doesn't have to last that long in the playoffs. You only need a few wins.

We just happened to get Bobrovsky in stone wall mode. It sucks but it is what it is.

You are forgetting besides the playoff we are the best team at beating heaters. I just hope Rod runs full offense lines tonight and trusts our D and Freddie. I expect a big night from Fasty, Aho and Necas(shudder). This team is not going to quit.

The team hasn't quit the whole time in this series(they did against the NYI in the loss there). 

But out working the opponent hasn't helped so far. I think the biggest thing we need is just some better puck luck. I really believe that.

Rod needs to take a collar off.

      Draft Grades

      By jfra78 · Posted

      SI https://www.si.com/nfl/2025-nfl-draft-grades-analysis-for-every-team#_s4q414nom Grade: A- Analysis: The Panthers’ gamble to neglect the defense in the first round paid off, with the team selecting talented edge rushers Scourton and Umanmielen. But their prize from this draft class is the 6' 4", 213-pound McMillan, who will make life easier for Bryce Young because of his massive catch radius. McMillan got dinged a bit in the lead-up to the draft due to a few concerns with his work ethic, but he has the skill set to be the best wideout from this class when it’s all said and done. It’s tough to gauge where the Panthers are in their rebuild, but they’re finally giving Young a fair shake to succeed. —GM PFF https://www.pff.com/news/draft-grades-for-all-32-teams-2025-nfl-draft#car A+ 1 (8): WR Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona McMillan — The Panthers continue to build around Bryce Young, who led the NFL in big-time throws from Week 8 through the end of the regular season. Now, he has another downfield target. McMillan has been one of the most productive receivers in college football over the past two seasons, ranking in the 85th percentile or better among qualifying NCAA wideouts in receiving grade versus single coverage, yards per route run and contested-catch rate. 2 (51): ED Nic Scourton, Texas A&M Scourton — The Panthers trade up the board for an opportunity to add much-needed firepower on the defensive side of the ball. Scourton, the 29th-ranked player on the PFF Big Board, has an alluring combination of size and pass-rush moves, as well as the versatility to play in 3-4 or 4-3 fronts. Over the past two seasons, his 91.7 PFF pass-rush grade against true pass sets charted in the 94th percentile. 3 (77): ED Princely Umanmielen, Ole Miss Umanmielen — The Panthers moved up to target some pass-rush help with the selection of Umanmielen. The Ole Miss product was the No. 50 overall player on the PFF Big Board, and his 91.1 PFF grade ranked sixth among players at the position in 2024. 4 (114): RB Trevor Etienne, Georgia Etienne — At 5-foot-9 and 205 pounds, Trevor Etienne, brother of Jaguars running back Travis Etienne, is stoutly built and it showed on tape, as he forced 30 missed tackles on 126 rushing attempts. Despite missing time throughout various points of the season, Etienne still managed to rush for nine touchdowns while putting the ball on the ground only once. With Chuba Hubbard’s emergence this past season, Etienne provides Carolina with a power back who can spell him in short-yardage situations. 4 (122): S Lathan Ransom, Ohio State Ransom — Carolina continues to address areas of need on their defense by selecting Ransom after already adding a couple of edge defenders in previous rounds. The Panthers ranked 31st last season in explosive pass percentage allowed at 17.6% overall and now add to their secondary. 5 (140): DI Cam'Ron Jackson, Florida Jackson — Ranked No. 130 on the PFF Big Board, Jackson is a massive presence who can control the point of attack against the run. He posted an 80.9 run-defense grade last season along with a 9.3% run-stop rate. 5 (163): TE Mitchell Evans, Notre Dame Evans — Evans dominated defenders with the ball in the air in 2024, posting an impressive 72.7% contested-catch rate. 6 (208): WR Jimmy Horn Jr., Colorado Horn — Horn earned a 65.1 receiving grade last season while averaging 11.9 yards per reception. NFL.COM https://www.nfl.com/news/2025-nfl-draft-final-snap-grades-for-all-32-teams B- McMillan could be a threat in the mold of Drake London, but Carolina might have been better served by drafting one of the top tight ends (Colston Loveland, Tyler Warren) or defensive players (Jalon Walker) at No. 8. The Panthers doubled up on pass rushers Scourton and Umanmielen on Day 2. They could have improved the secondary with one of those picks, though, and found another edge defender on Saturday. Carolina used the fourth-round pick it received from Dallas in the Jonathan Mingo trade to select Etienne. That decision stood out since the team rewarded Chuba Hubbard with an extension last year, signed Rico Dowdle in free agency and spent a top-50 pick on Jonathon Brooks, who is recovering from his second ACL tear in as many years, in 2024. Ransom's downhill play should get him on the field for the Panthers quickly, as will the size and surprising agility of run-stopper Jackson. I expect Evans to thrive early in his career in 12 personnel. CBS https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2025-nfl-draft-grades-for-every-team-giants-raiders-commanders-deliver-steelers-49ers-receive-poor-marks/amp/ I love the way general manager Dan Morgan approached this draft. Get Bryce Young a premier weapon first, then throw loads of resources at the defense. Scourton and Umanmielen have polished games and rocked in the SEC at defensive end.  Etienne is a young runner with Chuba Hubbard-like ability, and Ransom will provide stability at safety. Jackson blocks out the sun on the interior, and Evans is an overachieving tight end who could become a favorite security blanket for Young.  Grade: A-

      The NFL average for running backs on the active roster is 3.6. Cleveland was the only teams to carry less than 3. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BB0RlET2BU3TiotTmk6hMWl-36d06VAaSLUsr4jS_hM/pubhtml
