oh good god, im opening up the bourbon and binging bryce young highlights

Division should have been locked up days ago. It's unfortunate that they are even in this do-or-die scenario.

it's the longest running panthers podcast didn't you know? You must not have an insatiable thirst for Panthers news and opinions.

Damn that was a textbook counterpoint.

FLA clinched a playoff birth. That helps.

This team isn’t losing Thursday. Sorry Florida.

This dude

I’m going to and not the least bit excited about it.

I apologize for my douchey posts last night in some of these Bryce and CJ threads. Drinking bourbon and watching the hurricanes fumble the metro division away to the Devils doesn’t mix well and that frustration spilled out onto this board. I’ll truly be happy with either but prefer Bryce.

tonight should have been a celebration of the team and franchise for winning the division. Instead, we get to watch the team fall face first into a 1st round matchup with the Rangers where their fans will crawl out of suburban Cary and invade PNC.

Or CJ when doesn’t have elite talent around him

We gave up nothing for what amounted to a 1 year rental. He should have never been relied on giving his injury history.

The whole patches thing is a joke. No offense to the athlete but hedging your bets on someone who is that injury prone is open to questioning in of itself. Thankfully we gave up nothing.

Yeah we will. What prospects do we have that are so good? We couldn’t trade Morrow in package for Meier when NJD gave up significantly less. Nikishin is still 2 years away from coming to America. We clearly overvalue them.

Is it? What happens if Aho walks? Burns retires? We can’t afford Pesce and Brady. What’s our goalie situation actually like? So far Necas can’t play C. KK is still a 3C. I’m going to choose to disregard your last point considering the performance of the team has completely dismantled at this point the last 3 seasons. Next year is pretty much objectively our last shot at winning a cup for the foreseeable future. Are our prospects that good? We seem to be the only team that thinks so. This isn’t cynicism. It’s being realistic about the direction of the team

That’s the problem. They are hedging their bets on ONE season.

Stop making excuses for this poverty franchise. They had so many opportunities to put the division away and win this game (5v3) and they didn’t. They deserve this and to deserve to get swept by the Rags in round one. Period.

Also why the reason we are losing. He has to make more than one big save a game. That’s what he gets paid to do. I really don’t want to see him in a Canes jersey next year.

I don’t want to see Freddie in one single playoff game. Thursday better be his last game in a canes jersey

That’s what they get

This happens every year at this time. Maybe, that 10+ million that was available at the TDL should have been more aggressively used.

And the same could be said about stroud and not being surrounded by all world talent in the skill positions lmao.

I do too and I wasted $25 on a parking pass. Might just go to Reddit and give it all away.

lol. I’ll see y’all next year
