GDT: RATS FROM SPACE IN RALEIGH

Honestly the PP looked pretty good most of the night, even the penalty kill. The panthers really had nothing going until they scored at the end of theirs.

I didn’t think Freddy was bad, but certainly not sharp. I’m surprised Morrow even got another shift after the DoG penalty… who is next in line if Chatty can’t go? I’d put in Nikishin again, but I don’t see Rod doing that.

It's Nikishin, Stillman, or Morrow again if Chatfield can't go.

They aren't calling up Legault out of nowhere to debut in the conference finals. I think it's Chatfield or Nikishin in game 2.
 
Do you think they will buyout KK or trade him this summer? He’s been a disappointment since day 1.
I think with the Jankowski trade they have the depth to make the move this summer. It feels like they should be looking for a 2C, ideally righty anyway.

Aho
UFA/trade
Staal
Jankowski

If Stankoven can make the transition to C that would be great.

Kotkaniemi is my personal whipping boy.

Getting near 5m to do nothing Robinson or a Noesen couldn't easily replace.

I'd almost think Suzuki or Robidas could at least offer something.

Does Kotkaniemi even like hockey? Does he GAF? Seems like he's out there chasing butterflies and just happy to be a part of the team and invited to the dinners.

I haven't seen that dawg in him. More of a guinea pig for his spirit animal.
 
The path was there to it being a more competitive game. You don't have to let most of the major mistakes you make lead to goals. Most of the time it won't happen just out of luck. I think they also sloppied themselves out of some good chances all night. Just gotta hope this lights a fire under their ass for next game.
 
Also f*** Ekblad for his bullshit hit that won't be looked at. But I'm sure Olczyk and his bitch ass will still whine about Ghost because his brother sucked at his job here 10 years ago or something.

By the way I could be wrong but I seem to recall that Rick Olczyk was the one banging the table for Jake Bean over McAvoy in 2016. If that's the case then Eddie should just shut the f*** up.
