Gadjo scored 46 goals his last year in the WHL, he is severely underrated around here, he could be much more than just a punching bag.

Also IMO Zito will prioritize Swaggy Benny Ekblad and in that order.
Completely agree. You can clearly see that the guy is capable of making plays and technically knows which play to make in what situation, the hands just don't always follow his thought. And he looked good last year as well as 4th line winger. I'd be 100% fine if he gets the nod as 4th line regular most of the time

I think Greer is the tweener on the 4th/5th forward lines.

Gadjo Nosek Jesper when healthy.

Watched that Amazon series, man Paul really unloaded on them in that Boston game.

Kinda sad it just focuses on MT, but I hear we have a "team" docuseries coming out at some point. I just don't know if Ill get to watch it in Canada.

Didnt that already start on our youtube channel?

No, I thought so too myself… I thought it would be another new inside document…

But on our YT channel, it is only what looks like the pre-game show of our new broadcast channel… First episode was a compilation of the « day with the Cup » videos that we saw over the summer with Chucky, Benny, Eky, Reinho and forgot the last one.

Nothing amazing, nothing new.

Gadjovich clearly the weak link at forward.

Gadjo just doesn't have any offense in him and his hands are stone, to me he is just an enforcer for specific match-ups. I don't think he'll be seeing much ice barring injuries. Greer-Nosek-Boqvist is the fourth line.

So Gadjo basically scored two goals in his last game after people called him only a goon that couldn’t handle a regular spot in the NHL ?



Yeaaaah…

How much we know huh ?!?!

Don’t change Panthers fans ! You’re in Stanley-Cup-shape already !! lol

:P

Can’t wait for the Broqvist to sign their extensions after their horrible start of the season proving they don’t belong at this level… ;)

Last year Greer scored as many goals as Gadjo has in his career. He's stepped up his game in the past two years, Maurice mentioned it as well as a reason why they signed him.

His problem has been injuries which is why he hasn't been able to stick. The same goes for Nosek and A Boqvist, it's actually pretty surprising they signed so many guys with durability issues which is why Gadjo will probably get plenty of looks. I just haven't seen the offensive touch from Gadjo that some of you guys see, it certainly hasn't translated to points so far.

I think it's because we see in the playoffs it's very hard to win that tradeoff between offense and defense if you focus on offense. Defense wins championships etc. Not impossible but probable looking at history.
You are talking about systems, but I am talking about individual skill. You're not necessarily needed to be a shutdown specialist to excel in Maurice system.

Speaking about systems, I think a good system generally doesn't get in the way of player's talent. It can be demanding and limit their production a bit by reducing the risks taken but eventually letting their talent take over. Analytics consider the talent of big 4 forwards as the biggest reason why Panthers are currently at the top of the league - who cares if they score a bit less in this system? They're there not for meaningless regular season statpadding. And 5v5 they're still dominating as they should, while the system adds overall solidity which makes the team unflappable. But I don't think that there is one clear way to win in the playoffs. It's just that not every team has McDavid or Mackinnon who can just run circles around opponents and have their usual 1,5-2 PPG in the playoffs.

Well, glad I spent $200 on a ticket for opening night and $150 on flights only for a storm to put both in jeopardy.
Might have a bit of the turbulencia which could effect the entire state of Florida, Fort Laud/Sunrise could see some wind and big tropical monsoon.

If Milton takes a turn to the northeast could mean St. Pete/Tampa takes what could be a record storm surge.

Everyone stay safe, will see a banner raising when all is clear.
