Orlov was getting the puck through. Baby steps.

Skjei is going to age worse than Pesce because he relies a lot on God given ability that will deteriorate over time. I wouldn’t sign either of them fit more than 3 years, and they can both get 5 or more on the open market.That play from Skjei on the 2nd goal was just… wow.
As it stands I’m keeping him over Pesce 10 times out of 10 if I need to choose.

I love Pesce to death, the emergence of him and Slavin (along with drafting Aho) are the foundation of this teams current success.That play from Skjei on the 2nd goal was just… wow.

Don't care. Run over 'em.sharks are going to be desperate tomorrow
He was surprisingly decent defensively his first stint here, too. Our system is very different from that of most teams, and it definitely requires adjustment, and some players are suited to play that way even when they may struggle in other schemes. I'm not shocked that having played here before TDA is getting back in that groove a lot sooner than it'll be before Orlov finds it. I'm still not panicking on that front. He's got talent.I know this isn't the popular opinion but TDA was really good at D tonight. Also that 3rd period was the foundation of Caens Hockey and pretty much the first time we saw it this year
My biggest fear for season is that he has an injury that won’t heal until next off season.He may be more hurt than we know.
Thing is, Skjei is going to get PAID...and rightfully so. He significantly contributes to the game offensively and has rounded out his defense and overall game the past few years. Then he'll randomly throw a huge rogue hit every once in a while. I agree that with his skating I think he'll age better, plus Pesce giving some foot speed and injury concerns the past 2 seasons, which may limit or lower his offers/interest. I'd love to keep Skjei but with Orlov I don't think we can afford what he'll askI’ve thought that Skjei would age better than Pesce due to his high-end skating. Pesce already seems to have slowed a bit. I’d rather they keep Pesce on a reasonable deal, due to the lack of quality RD throughout the league, but I wouldn’t be too upset if Skjei is kept over Pesce. He’s certainly peaking later than normal.
Orlov is reminding me of Burns at the start of last season. Just fighting his instincts from years of play.He's a talented f***er. No one can deny that. He just needs to get his head together.
Overall, though, fantastic game. That's more the Canes we know and love.
I did do the GDTs for our record win streak…I want to say it was last year or the year before the Canes won a game similar to this that ended a slump and they went on a heater afterwards.
Will history repeat? Maybe. But it feels good to win again.
I love Skjei and agree but he’ll be more expensive and we have Orlov then Nikishin and Slavin on the left side. Either we keep Pesce or both walk.That play from Skjei on the 2nd goal was just… wow.
As it stands I’m keeping him over Pesce 10 times out of 10 if I need to choose.
