This should hold off the doomers for at least 15 minutes.

We never sleep

We never think

We just overreact

Interesting. Jordan Staal's nickname is "Steeler"?

Used to be Gronk. Guess he still likes the Steelers from his early years?

He really needs to be in a 3rd pair type role at this point in his career. If we can get either one Pionk and Chychrun (LH but plays both sides) should be our big targets this off-season.

Burns is a way more effective defenseman overall than people give him credit for, and he plays admirably well still for being almost-40, but ideally he should move down a pair or two. If the Canes don't think that Morrow is ready next year, IMO they should use Walker next to Slavin and maybe place Burns next to Nikishin for a season to bridge the transition and to mentor our next great young defenseman (hopefully).

Also, I don't understand how our team can put together hard-fought wins against excellent teams and totally sh** the bed against not-good teams. It may actually be because they're constantly looking behind their back because of our goaltending issues. Hopefully Andersen's return fixes this.
