Pre-Game Talk: Southern Conference Finals

[The Faulker 27]

So the two East playoff teams that did next to nothing at the trade deadline are meeting in round 3. Granted Florida really couldn't do much and SJ wasn't playing ball with us, but still.

They did use up the majority of the 10M cap space so they did something, it just wasn't flashy. Thankfully the next to nothing was what we gave up.

either our magical run being down 3 top 6 forwards or their magical run is over after this one

 

[Svechhammer]

Panthers rarely do well in NC this decade. I like our chances

he is from pittsburgh? you know he sucks

Hey now

And the whole thing is that the Canes wanted to make a major move: Timo Meier. The lesson that everyone should take here is that this group did not panic and make rash deadline overpayments after their Plan A fell through.

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now

He's from Pittsburgh; he calls himself a Yinzer every other video!

I know he is from Pitt, but he really does not like our sports teams. He seems to go harder at us than some others and rarely ever talks about us when we're good.

I mean- when I look at the teams left, the only one I see as being a real obstacle to the Canes is Dallas, what with Jamie Benn and company smashing up Necas or whomever.

I think the boys can snuff out FLA as long as Tkachuck and Hornqvist don't bust everyone up. I think we match up well against high-octane offensive teams.

Boy, the refs are going to LOVE this series.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

While it was still a dumb deal, Montreal getting a 29-32nd pick for Chiarot is a lot better for everyone else but montreal.

Glad to see other teams are embracing the revenue trolling.

Is it really the South when half of the northeast lives in the Triangle?

It’s NJ North (Carolina) vs NJ South (Florida)

We’ll be the largest market in this matchup. Does that mean the analyst lean and refs will be in our favor? Asking for a friend

Panthers have bigger “name” players. Suppose we need to be prepared for a Tkachuk love fest.

There's a legit possibility that Raleigh will be the northernmost city remaining in the playoffs.

And I'm absolutely here for the takes of and when it happens

 

[1specter]

All in the Carolina wagon. Good luck guys.

Oh my God, it just hit me: This entire playoffs will be the Don Waddell revenge tour.

We eliminate Horvat, who we were rumored to be close to acquiring before missing out.
We eliminate Meier, who we were rumored to be close to acquiring before missing out.
We eliminate Tkachuk, who we were rumored to be close to acquiring before missing out.

And then we face the ultimate boss: The guy Waddell replaced. Ron Francis and the Seattle Kraken.

I don’t think we were ever close on Horvat. We asked but Vancouver wanted the best 1st rounder they could get. We were eliminated on the initial conversation by the sounds of it.

Seattle looks like their magic has run out.
