Shenault seen the field today or does he just have a front row ticket to the show so far?

I’d love to see the Panthers run one of those five yard out routes in the appropriate situation… particular not on third and ten.

Now, now… don’t get greedy. Take your three points and be happy… this is a seven year process.

When’s the last time we had a double digit lead? Cardinals game of last year?

Play was doomed from the start, looks like Moore and I believe Higgins ran into each other…

Held my breath on that list hit that Hubbard took, I just knew that ball was coming out.

Luvu reminds me a bit of James Anderson. Not a perfect linebacker but a good tackler and hustler and goes out there and gives everything.

Textbook strip by Luvu. After watching Carolina try to strip Notre Dame on every play while the RB was upright, it was refreshing seeing a player ensure that the player is going down and then go for the strip.

Only way we are going to score…

Hell of a play by Luvu stripping that ball.

What is YGM doing… fugging dumb.

Hekker is probably the best passer of the football on this team… let that sink in… the damn punter.

Yeah, fug it… I’d give Darnold a look when he’s healthy. We already suck… sucking worse does nothing but improve our draft position.

Where, Myers Park HS?

That was a missed tackle away from a TD… damn near brought people out of the stands on that blitz.

Bailed out by a flag, we are owed a few of those so I’ll take it.

After watching Notre Dame destroy UNC’s defense yesterday, I’m not so sure I can stand to watch the Saints do the same thing to the Panthers.

Shitty run defense showing up early.

Orr, Montgomery, and Vondras headed back to juniors. Kind of wanted to see Orr during the preseason but, oh well. It was also reported that Fitzgerald isn’t taking part in training camp due to an undisclosed injury. That’s four players gone, a good amount to go. If I had to guess, I’d say the roster will be (if they keep 23): Turbo - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - Kotkaniemi - Necas Stastny - Staal - Fast Marty - Drury - Kase Stepan Slavin - Burns Skjei - Pesce De Haan - Bear Coghlan Chatfield Andersen Raanta If we only go with 22, I expect Chatfield to go down but he’ll obviously come back up in the event of an injury or if Bear gets traded. I also fully expect Noesen to be the first call up once Kase inevitably gets hurt.

I also have no idea and it was random. He mentioned it when talking about Phoenix, not sure if it was a mistake or what.

Apparently it was a pretty spirited practice today and Rod was pleased. One of the younger guys that’s been impressing is Vasily Ponomarev. Ponomarev spent some time in the KHL last year before coming over and joining the Wolves. In the 29 games that he played for the Wolves last year, Ponomarev recorded 4 goals, 12 assists, and 16 points. In other news, Freddie now has a Lego man on his bucket.

Not sure if any of y’all listen to the Bill Simmons podcast… but he said we are about to be up for sale??? Tepper going for the clean sweep in Charlotte?

Last year of his contract, they’ll stash him on LTIR to free up his cap space and then they’ll be done with the situation next year. Gardiner’s contract was horrible, only one worse was Semin’s.

One interesting note is Dzingel is with the prospects rather than the main roster group, definitely appears like he’s destined to play in Chicago. Canes do have a good group of prospects in camp this year outside of Dzingel. Dzingel, MacEachern, Stromwall, Gunler, Pederson, Lajoie, Dronov, Lagesson, Orr, Robidas, Pashin, Mattheos, Tieksola, Montgomery, Suzuki, LaBate, Farrance, Mendel, Rees, Honka, Murray, Seeley, Ponomarev, Kochetkov, Sawchenko, Vondras, and Hamrla. Didn’t see Fitzgerald among the prospect group so I’m guessing he’s hurt as he was included on the training camp roster. Would have liked to seen Rizzo, Wall, Fensore, and Puistola in camp but I’m guessing the first three are getting ready for their college seasons and the latter is staying overseas. In addition to the above: Bokk, Koivunen, Heimosalmi, Reunanen, and Sellgren will all be overseas. On an interesting note, a couple of the players that are part of the prospect team are tryout players or on a Wolves contract, not every player that’s on a Wolves contract was invited to camp by the Canes, so the Canes must like a few of those guys on a Wolves contract. Additional prospects that are overseas or still in juniors include: Slepets, Webber, Mercuri, Nybeck, Nikishin, Nystrom, Guslistov, Naumov, Quapp, Blake, Morrow, Pelevin, Grudinin, Lucius, Forsmark, Perevalov, and Trikozov.

Gardiner will more than likely be spending this year on LTIR… again. Quick run down of the lines in practice today. Turbo - Aho - Jarvis Svech - KK - Necas Stastny - Staal - Fast Drury - Stepan - Noesen - Martinook - Kase No mention about of the defensive pairings but imagine they were: Slavin - Burns Skjei - Pesce DeHaan - Bear Chatfield (R) - Coghlan (R) Then obviously the goalies: Andersen Raanta
