As Hockeymomof2, I'm a mom of 3 & a Hurricanes fan (est '06) whose 2 sons played hockey as kids. Now I go to Canes games with them. Carrboro, NC is home. One of the last 6 old timers who still gets NHL Network. she/her
somebody musta complained their superstar Jack looked too sad, so they changed the photo. lol

They were so locked into their 3 D pairings last season. This year it's Timmy Blend-eason. I gotta think this is (partly) in response to the crisis of losing Chatty and Walker last playoffs (and someone else too?) So many reps in different prgs - ready for any situation.

That first PK, he was soooooo good - I'd forgotten what it he does. I was like "Thank God for Jaccob Slavin". (Because, they know each other.)

It's so true. What a key cog he is for this machine.

Panthers have like 8 players going to the Olympics, Tampa has 10 I think. That's gonna be a factor, especially with all the hockey Florida has played, which I think is why we're seeing so many injuries for them.

Sure - that's a possibility. Here's Micah's latest model @hockeyviz.com - it's totally open. MTL, DET, and BUF at 11%. First round Panthers are less scary to me than 3rd round tho.

Or they don't make it past Tampa even if they do get in.

especially last May. So, I'll take it and hope it works that we don't see them again til next season.

At one point it was Bennett, Reinhart and Lundell in the box, (not to mention Tkachuk and Barkov and Marchand out). That's their top 6 Defensive forwards missing on their PK. Plus Seth Jones out, too. It's hard to judge what it'd be like vs their full roster. But we've had injuries (caused by them)

I think the Flyers arena is right by their airport;
Newark airport is 3 miles from the Prudential ctr (Looked it up)
