It's silly to say that about Panarin, too. But, here we are. What are the excuses surrounding Matthews, then? 'Cause, he's had some high level players around him for years and hasn't won a thing. For us it's Cup or you suck, but Toronto gets a pass?

I've never said this

I mean, It's basically always both. But, I saw more (negative) change to the way Toronto played last night than change to the Panthers game. IMO, as always!

Well, then Berube is trying to make adjustments and found out the hard way it was the wrong thing to do. Honestly, you can say the D hasnt been all that amazing altogether. In the first 3 games, there was a combined 25 goals scored between the 2 teams, thats pretty bad... but, there was fight, guys were scoring.

Neither have I.
But, I believe you have been part of the group that believes our current roster construction is not what you need to compete through 4 playoff rounds, no?
That's where I'm headed with this, and I feel like you know that. Regardless of my ability to say it properly!

I believe that the GM, coach, and players were all responsible for last year's disaster to varying degrees for varying reasons

And I believe this is the perspective of most people on here. This cabal of naysayers and ne'er-do-wells is really just 2 gentlemen. We don't need to bring it up every time someone talks about Chris Drury. The people who complain about and fight with this axis of evil are worse at this point because they can just ignore it but instead choose to go WWIII every single day on here. Makes a pickle not want to come around during the offseason (for better or for worse depending on how much people dislike me)

Its a story that hits a bit too close to home.

Im curious how a series between Canes and Panthers plays out, because Canes arent necessarily big and tough, but they're resilient and keep coming at you.

It should be very much the same. Canes will play with energy, but ultimately Florida will wear hem down, unless something unexpected happens.

They truly are the model of what a cup contender should look like today.

Yup. And can’t think of a team that comes close to matching them. They can do it all.

One of these years mcdavid, draisaitl, and whoever is in net for them will all sync up at the same time and that will overpower anything anyone can throw at them

The way they're playing this year, we might be seeing a Stanley Cup rematch, however the Stars are such a complete team.

Ok, so the topic of McDonagh was brought up before. Lets say it happens and McDonagh returns to the Rangers, do we put the C on him?

Offer sheet Mason McTavish, 7y x 9m, outrageous?

Somehow not mentioned on here today, Will Cuylle had a goal and an assist today in a 5-1 Canadian win.

Edit:
And it was a beauty!!

That is a very high number and we’d have to give Pittsburgh our unprotected first next year and give up this years as offer sheet compensations. So no
