Stumpy

Not only do we have a young, talented core to build around and a great front office, we have finally found our goalie. The most important position in hockey. Arguably, the most important in all of sports. Only a QB has the kind of impact on a game that a shutdown netminder has. And we found ours. He was drafted here. Worked his ass off in training camp year after year. Cut his teeth in CLT. Worked on his craft and won the only professional championship the city of Charlotte has ever seen. Even with all that, it looked like it might never happen for him in Raleigh. Hell, after passing through waivers, it looked like it might not happen at all. But, Ned is a gamer. Always has been. When the bright lights came on, he was ready. When he finally got his shot, he never looked back. Whether he adds the Calder Trophy to his Calder Cup, he's got a bright future in Carolina! If you start to think of this season as a disappointment, just remember... video_1623202918810.mp4

Brind'amour is a great coach. He is off to a historic pace as far as regular season wins go. The only negative has been his decisions in net. And to be fair, Rod hasn't exactly had the best goalie situation since he became head coach. A lot of chances to second guess yourself. As a player he always trusted his instincts. And, he definitely has the feel for lines and call ups as a coach. But streaky net minders will drive anyone crazy. As a player he always trusted his instincts.

I think a full season with Ned will ease a lot of RBA's anxieties when it comes to goalie choices. video_1623203061414.mp4

Doubt that was it... lol

Welp, it was an epic season boys and girls. I wish it would've lasted a little longer. We've got a bright future!

No, a Dougie own goal on his empty net would've been perfect.

You're right, it's...

What was Pesce doing there? Couldn't decide whether to play the pass or the shot, so he did nothing?

OMG Skjei! That man has a family!

That's not gonna make anybody feel better if they can catch all their tears in Lord Stanley's Cup! We need to exact justice ourselves!

Svech and no look passes go together like peas and genocide.

Fast trying to put the team on his back!

Don't fug this up Rhule!

Mother fugger! We all know they are gonna give it to them.

Somebody find his stash and switch it for some nice relaxing heroin instead!

GD! What kind of blood magic is Vas practicing?

TuneIn is your friend...
