We'll bounce back
Once he was pushed to the Staal line...it was predictable. When he won the Caulder with the Checkers and performed so well this season, he wasn't playing in that type of role or with those line mates.
I thought last year a change might be the best for him, as Sara suggested, with the line bounces and how that affects his play on the emotional side of things.

That’s not true. At all. The decision came from Rutherford and Rod was involved with veto power.
Rod was a healthy scratch at the time and a shadow of himself. Staal was at the peak of his career and everyone expected him to get even better. The decision to do the transition while Rod was still around made sense at the time. He was done and it was embarrassing to be out there without a C because the guy wearing it was watching from the sidelines.

MO wasted an ungodly number of games after we were out of contention, refusing to give young guys and draft picks any ice time. He actively punished kids for not being able to save a team who was already eliminated. Not to mention holding grudges against higher tier players. Not to mention the bag skates. The guy's an asshole, but hey I'd love to have a couple beers with him.

Henrik is the only person on TNT worth a shit.
Biz, Liam and Anson are just f***ing obnoxious. Gretzky is just there for the check.

Necas can go. I have no qualms with that. He had a great regular season but his true colors came out again towards the end, and definitely into the playoffs. He's a regular season type player. There's plenty of them that have long careers. Skinner comes to mind.

I actually enjoy the TNT crew, they are so much better than ESPN. Biz is obnoxious, but that is his thing, and it kinda works.

I think we can all agree, this is all the penguins fault.

Skinner could be beast mode in the playoffs, but we may never know.

Sure, but they went from a 15-16-4 start to a 27-16-4 finish, including 6-2-0 going into the playoffs. This isn’t just a hot streak, they‘ve been playing at a 100+ point pace for over half the season now and got steadily better the entire time.
They needed a nudge to get over the bubble because of the slow start, but otherwise they would have been by far and away the best team left outside the bracket in recent years. As we just saw.

At least he knows what to do even if his body can’t keep up. That’s more than we have now…
simply put, had the team finished more of the chances they had, there wouldn’t be complaints of the rest.
but the outcome of the games were directly effected by more than just the canes inability to finish more of their chances. Not worth discussing it because it will not be changed. Nothing will be done to address it.

This.
And this.
I truly have never seen a more frustrating series. Throughout it all, Florida looked like such a beatable team, and the scoreboard for every game reflects that; literally all 1 goal leads for Florida, and two overtime games.
Throw in the bad luck for the Canes this series (seriously, it was constant bad luck with shots hitting posts, bars, Slavin's stick in Burns' skate, bad bounces, and then several injuries this game on top of the injures we had from the regular season) and the refs, and this was a heart attack inducing series as a Canes fan.
I would say we'll do better next year, but I'm sure we'll have 1-2 long term injuries to major players come playoff time, and the refs f***ing us over at the worst times again. Also, God knows how disappointing this offseason will be with trying to get an elite player(s) given our recent past history on that front.
Did you watch the game? Guy was giving it his all anyone saying aho is a problem is just out to lunch I’m sorry. Check his linemates and then go check the other 3 teams left and there top line centres and see who they are playing with it’s not even comparable and that’s no slight on Jarvis but aho did what he could with what he was given 1 guy can’t win a series
