It's not about the offense with having Nash on that line, it's about having two defensive players good enough to cover some ass when Skinner goes all Manny being Manny as can and will happen.
Eventually it'll have to be somewhat about offense. They're not going to let Skinner rot away on a 3rd line that isn't scoring.

I'm willing to bet if Nash continues to struggle like he is offensively, he won't be with Skinner much longer.

Are the Flyers this bad or are the Canes playing well.

A little of both?

Flyers are this bad.

Seriously, this stretches back to when we got destroyed by the Devils in the playoffs as far as piss poor play goes. Look at the Flyers board. We want Homer and Laviolette gone pretty much unanimously.

Alright. I've been pronouncing it Se-CARE-a this entire time.

Everyone has. Jeanneret pronounced it wrong and everyone took their cue from him. But the Canes PR has been getting recordings of all the players pronouncing their names the way they'd like them to be pronounced.

AJJ posted the Sekera one in the last GDT. Sekera himself says SECK-ur-a.

As much as I like Lavi, it's probably time for him to go there. The guy tends to lose the room after 2-3 seasons. The results are absolutely amazing when he has the room, and he's still basically a legend here still for that reason, but his "best by" date for you guys probably expired some point a couple seasons back.

Eventually it'll have to be somewhat about offense. They're not going to let Skinner rot away on a 3rd line that isn't scoring.

Don't disagree with you at all there, and frankly I wouldn't mind a Skinner-Lindholm-Dvorak line at some point if Skinner and Lindholm can show they're competent defensively.

Greetings Canes fans. Catching the game via Center Ice and had to come in here to mention a few things:

1. How entertaining the game has been.

2. Damn, I hope skinner keeps up this play. I used a late round draft pick on him in my fantasy league.

3. I love Chantel

Go Canes!

Oh, most definitely. To be fair to Laviolette though Homer basically sabotaged him to fail with this roster. Laviolette's coaching style is in direct opposition with this D and goalie personnel.

OT: is this NHL.com poll frigin serious? People are actually voting Teemu as the greatest Jet of all time over Bobby Hull!? I get it, I do, I love Teemu. He's one of the best players of his generation. But he's not a top 10 player of all time like Bobby ****ing Hull! I mean yeah, he belongs over Hawerchuk and Steen, but jesus... kids these days...

NHL.com polls should come with a disclaimer, "for entertainment purposes only".
