Canes vs Ducks 8:30

[Panthers Fan 69]

Some how my game thread got deleted.  Weird. 
 

Anyways let’s go 3-0!

[lightsout]

I am all for another big road win. This will be tougher but I think we get it done as long as the boys rested. 

 

Can't recommend working on 4 hours of sleep btw. This day sucks already lol

Would be great except my kids really hate going to bed suddenly because toddlers are absolute maniacs at bed time so I'll be able to sit and watch around midway in the third lol

Did I miss last night's game thread?

Anyway, if it wasn't for the early 1st period outburst, the Canes would have been crushed last night.

Faceoffs: bad.

PP: looks familiar (lame AF)

Officiating: the refs come out as bad as ever again.

Go back to Chatfield tonight and let Drury sit.

It disappeared for some reason.

Back to back or not, on paper this is one we should have no problem winning.

I’d like to see Chatfield anchor the third pairing and only use TDA on the PP.

Bunting - Aho - Jarvis

Teravainen - Kotkaniemi - Necas

Martinook - Staal - Fast

Lemiuex - Noesen

Slavin - Burns

Skjei - Pesce

Orlov - Chatfield

DeAngelo (PP only)

Raanta

Andersen

Extra - Drury

I so love Aho on our top scoring line.

Yay I can stay awake for this one. Maybe.

VPN an ESPN+ is working a treat by the way. 
 

First look at Raanta tonight and would like to see a bit more solid D, early days yet though for the chemistry to build. Hopefully not out shot like last night which doesn’t happen very often 

[lightsout]

I think Raanta being in will benefit our dmen, particularly Orlov who knows he needs to ingratiate himself to all of our goalies. Plus Raanta has a chance to prove he can split more of the load which would obviously benefit Freddie and the team as a whole.

 

Keep out of the box, stop letting the opponent have great chances in transition and we'll be fine.

I think mdc is right, orlov is going to have the same learning curve as burns. Except we’ve kinda stacked our offensive D a little heavy. I also agree with who ever said chatty and orlov need to partner. TDA is the real odd man out here.

No Chatfield again…

Bunting - Aho - Jarvis

Teravainen - Kotkaniemi - Necas

Martinook - Staal - Fast

Lemiuex - Drury - Noesen

Slavin - Burns

Skjei - Pesce

Orlov - DeAngelo

Raanta

Andersen

Extra - Chatfield

 

I might be in the minority but I’d sit Drury 100 times out of 100 and go 11 and 7 with Chatfield drawing in.

If we’re going to be on the PK damn near ten times then let’s get another defenseman out there that can kill penalties.

I’d sit TDA over Drury. Chatty should be in on the third pair so far TDA has just been a liability. Especially on PP 1 with burns. Burns should be QBing.
