I don't own a named sweater for that very reason. But I have grown to learn that having former players sweaters isn't a bad thing- there are plenty of them every night at PNC. I've seen Irbe, Whitney, Ward, RBA, you name it.

Can anyone here name every QB the Panthers drafted since joining the NFL without looking? While you try to think of them, I'll save you the time: Kerry Collins, Colquitt, Weinke, Fasani, LeFors, Pike, Clausen, Newton, Grier, Corral. 10 drafted QBs, 1 good one. Maybe 2 if you count the first couple years of Kerry Collins stint in Charlotte. And I guess the jury is still out on Corral, so the team has a roughtly 10% success rate at drafting QBs, far worse when they've drafted from a position of desperation. And, here's another thing- it's not like any of these guys were even average or serviceable- they were fugging terrible. And yet, here we are, continuing to pin hopes and pipe dreams on another drafted QB to lead the Panthers to the promised land. Why waste the time and money? Take all the guess work out of it and just go get Derek Carr for a 2-year deal and see if Corral develops in the meantime.

Try carolinaproshop.com I've purchased stuff from them.

Fug. I don't trust Raanta at all in a SO.

Fugging soft. Screw Raanta. I'm done with him.

Back to the Raanta of old. Geeeez.

Gotta be honest, Canes should have had 3 PPs that period.

3rd period is gonna be a dogfight. Aho! SHORTY! Blackwood misplayed right in front of the net.

NJ all the momentum right now. 3 clean odd man rushes and Carolina getting caught out of position.

Tied up on a Jack Hughes break around Slavin.

Canes up to 21 shots halfway thru 2. Starting to tee off.

BOOM! Noesen to Stepan. Highlight reel- what patience by Noesen. What a pass behind a sliding d-man.

NJ buzzing, but can't get any shots off. Canes D is getting work in.

Still zeros. Canes got their offensive momentum going after about 14 minutes. Only gave up 3 shots in the last 12 minutes of the period. NJ was shooting early and often, but once the Canes got going, it was a typical Canes game.

They heard me.

Can't score unless you shoot, boys. 3-4 shots on goal at this point? C'mon, guys.

Good penalty by Skjei. Would have been a 3 on 1 break.

NJ looks like they threw together their lines 30 minutes ago- no chemistry or communication.

Lol, they've used the word "aggressive" 20 times describing the Panthers in the 1st half. What fuggung team are they watching?

Why you so concerned with how I use my time?

3PM, yes sir.

Should have at least 21 points on the board, but 2 punts on 4th and less than 1 with absolutely nothing to lose. The Panthers deserve to get trounced today and next week. Head coach and OC are spineless bitches.

Forward Ondrej Kase has been in concussion protocol since October 13. He has recently taken part in team practices and morning skates in a no-contact jersey, but there is no current timetable for his return. Goaltender Frederik Andersen suffered a lower-body injury on November 6. He has been practicing with the team since December 8, but there is currently no timetable for his return. Forward Max Pacioretty suffered a torn Achilles tendon in August. He has been skating for over a month now and just this week graduated from the no-contact sweater he had been working in. Originally expected to return in February, Rod Brind'Amour said on Thursday that it is possible Pacioretty joins the lineup within the next 10 games. Tough little stretch of games upcoming: Busy week coming - we're doing the Chinese Lantern Festival at Koka Booth tomorrow night, Styx concert in Greensboro next Saturday with an overnite stay and the Canes at home against NJ on Tuesday. I love retirement.

Nice. I'll be the first to admit I was very wrong about Staal going into the season. I thought he might be close to washed up and ready to call it a day. But, while at a couple games, I had the chance to watch him away from the puck (which isn't very often he's not around the puck), and he is able to use leverage, size and his time/distance judgment is off the charts. Not to mention he may the strongest 1 arm guy with the puck I've ever seen. The way he keeps guys off him while skating with the puck is pretty cool to watch.

What feed are you using?
