Listening to the post-game, and holy poo! Has Rod ever said, "this one's on me." When asked about composure, he threw Staal and Martinook under the bus. "Those 2 can't be your best players." Disregarding that he didnt answer the question, does he realize how that sounds to professional athletes? When asked how you prepare for game 4, "I'm not even thinking about that." Clearly, Rod.

Last year we had a really good roster. Are we supposed to be a team full of superstars? In which said superstars never fit his system? Its an oxymoron.

7th best odds with Necas (and to a much lesser extent, Drury). Unfortunately that trade made us worse because Mikko is a little bitch.

Honestly, never thought I would get here, but I'm with you.

We had the 7th best odds to win the cup going into the season. Caniac Nation has retconned this idea that we never had a chance this year. And, most of that has come from Rod himself. He has consistently shitted on his roster to anyone who would listen. I'm guessing TD gave him an ultimatum going into this year and Rod was trying to cover his ass for when his team collapsed again. Even if you believe it, you don't come out and say, "we got worse" in public for all your players to hear. And he kept doing it all year. Just the other week, "we don't have those sexy players, yet."

I'm hoping what I heard is true. Lmfao We will find out soon enough though because if true the rumors will run rampant after the Canes are eliminated.

When will some of you realize it doesnt matter what the roster looks like. RBA has hit his ceiling. He is a terrible decision maker in the playoffs and the team always ends up looking moronic on their way out of the playoffs. We arent winning squat with him.

Yeah but if RBA is still coach, it wouldnt matter.

I'm just glad I didn't give up on them before they gave up on themselves.

The NHL used to seed the playoffs by 1-8 in the points rankings for each conference. Now they are seeded in a way where you play out of your division in the bracket. We play in the weakest division in the NHL.

Yep. Wheels fell off with Burns and Orlov too. The team still managed to figure it out after the deadline and put together a good 2nd half. We just got our hopes up like you do. I don't think Rod is infallible or we should never fire him. I just don't think this year is a very good reason. I don't think anyone else behind the bench gets a better finish with this squad.

Well I don’t follow all the other teams, so I can’t argue on how much better they are.. I just know we the Canes did great and overcame so tough games until now.. as far as reseeding the NFL said no.. so should the NHL.. this isn’t the NBA

Not a snowball's chance in hell, but notably better? Sure.

You could give Bennett 10m, Elhers 8m and Marner 13m and give a defensemen 4m and have a little bit of space left over. Bam, got a new top 6 and a new top 4 pairing. Marner, Aho, Jarvis Svechnikov, Bennett, Elhers Martinook, Staal, Stankoven Blake, Roslovic, Carrier Slavin Walker Nikishin Chatfield FA signing Ghosty PP1 Marner, Aho, Jarvis, Svechnikov, Ghosty PP2 Elhers, Bennett, Blake, Stankoven, Nikishin Looks pretty good to me. lol

Personally I’d give him one more chance with a loaded roster. This year it felt like we were playing with a fringe first line, a third line, and two fourth lines. We definitely overachieved and I think the reason we are disappointed is because the end result is the same but we weren’t supposed to be here. I’d give Rod one more go before moving on.

just tackling better would be a major improvement from last season

I think Rod is just extremely loyal with some folks. Not sure why. I have seen the same across many sports. It’s not working but they just keep doing it like it will work all of the sudden. It never does.

Oh you meant as a package. I thought you meant deal them individually. That makes more sense.

That's why Morrow is included. lol Only expecting a 3rd or 4th round pick back. It's mainly to clear space.

Damn look who's the voice of reason now. I agree with all of it.

Tulsky. Got players that had no business being top players. Janko. Roslavic. Carrier. Robinson. Analytics got players that fit what we do with the money we had. With 30 mill nest year, let’s see what he cooks up. also, give Rod some credit. Yes I know said fire rod but he needs at least 1 more year. ESP with the players Tulsky is about to deliver. I didn’t think we would make the playoffs. They did. NOT ONE PERSON HERE WOULD HAVE SAID THIS RAG TAG BUNCH WOULD EVEN BE IN THE ECF. next year is rods real make or brake with 30 mill in cap space. Relax. No need to melt down anymore.

Morrow has upside but who is gonna wanna play KK lmao. Dude was straight ass this year on the power play. Someone want him for their 4th line?

Trade Morrow and KK for draft picks. Then take 36m in cap space and turn it into 1 top 4 defenseman and 3 top 6 forwards.

well we certainly have the cap space for it.

Time to find a whole ass second line in free agency.
