This. Plus, reloading with youth here allows for us to make a run at a Guentzel deal/keep Jarvy. Love you pesh and brady. thx 4 the memz. hope you get to lift hardware and put your name on it on your way out

we are faster than the Bs (and the Caps but). we have been very good in the regular season against them since a couple years ago. The Caps less so but i'll bet we'll be hungry after that officiating fueled shootout loss last time. I want the metro and the President's trophy. It ain't a curse for a team that's hitting their stride at the right time. it's the curse for the team like FL who has played well the entire year and dies in the playoffs. They will be tired and other teams are old or too young to touch us. I've never said this during our playoff years. We've lacked goaltending prowess or health. We've lacked experience. Or top tier scoring/top tier scoring depth behind Aho and later Svech/him not healthy. We have all of those aforementioned things. I've got '06 vibes and I'm not scared to talk about it aloud. I just bought round 1 game 5 tickets. Not sure that game will be necessary but might get to go see a handshake line with Ovi.

He is an expiring contract who couldnt be traded again prior to the deadline. The money has to work in the trade so it's just us taking on money for Rozier's deal that expires at the end of the season. We got a first rounder. We likely buy him out soon

Waddell said yesterday Fred could be back in a month or so and has medical approval. We're just trying to bide time til then. At this point that's the better option other than buying WAY high on what could end up as Goalie #2 if and when Fred comes back. If it doesn't work out, we can attack at the trade deadline

This. Burns pipe shot is a goal 99% of the time, and we had a good effort/good start to a road trip against a tough west team about as far of a road trip for us as is possible. Just an all around promising effort that felt like it should have been worth a point at least.

I mean clearing waivers doesn't mean he wouldn't be a replacement for a team that's a seller just putting someone in their lineup to play D with us likely retaining some salary or giving up picks to not retain salary. Drury and him and a pick to Calgary to get Lindholm back suits me. Guys like Necas I don't think we properly rate what they mean to our scoring balance until they're gone. I don't want to give away any of our guys like that. It's time to add, not subtract, and go for it.

move the pocket. move the QB. boot legs, playaction, motion, read option, RPO, TE/FB/Laviska shovels on short yardage. remember the fake RB screen rivera offenses used to do where Cam would fake the screen then turn around and throw a TE screen? switch the RB/TE or whatever. that is a perfect play in a Bryce offense to backup pass rush and throw a different screen look. the problem w Rivera offenses is we never ran the play before the fake so the fake was always obvious. we run zero screens that aren't smoke to WR that suck

obviously TDA is someone people love to hate. IMO locker room stuff prior to him getting here aside, the first go-round was a cheap Dougie replacement and he played pretty well. This time has been a disaster and he has no business playing over Chatfield. I care zero what it does to the PP--regardless of current percentages I don't think TDA is out there doing anything QB PP that other guys can't do. I hope we can make him a trade piece to get something out of a seller like Calgary.

I just think they're being cautious with Raanta given that Fred is injured and we're one injury away from having a pretty dire backup situation. That in addition to every chunk of experience Pyotr gets is house money. It's early enough in the season that the starts should pay dividends now and later.

they do have all of them--they will only show as blackout if you don't have a VPN active

yeah, it's ESPN+ that has it--but you can only watch teams out of market. But--if you're in the Canes market, you can use ESPN+ and any VPN app to change your location

I've been doing ESPN+ and VPN for three years with no issues

all of the streaming services are operating in the red and only the companies like apple/prime can truly afford to sustain because of how much they have going on otherwise. sinclair thought they could get a monopoly on these local sports broadcasts but somehow thought people would pay 4x as much for apple plus to watch two local teams and that's it. i hope they continue to crash and burn. not a sustainable model and right now it's killing fans ability to see their teams

Panthers 20-14. Defense frustrates Ridder.

which is why i said hadnt instead of hasnt
