Well, to be fair, by definition.......

Well, there was George Shinn...

Hope that he develops a throwing arm? I mean, c'mon; it was an under-handed toss like a softball player tossing one to his kid. If you're going to throw something at someone, make it worthwhile. Throw a beer bottle, a chair, TV set. Fug, man, put some gut in it. And don't walk away. If you're going to throw something, stand up and show the guy you did it.

What? What was "the culture" he cared about so much? Many may have viewed JR as a just a nice, good ol' boy. But, unless you're from eastern NC and are familiar with the Hardee's, MBM business dealings that made JR one of the most disliked men in the part of the state I live in, you may have a different opinion. He was a poster child for southern white privilege.

I know you've heard all this before, but I wrote this team off after the last Super Bowl appearance, the demise of Cam Newton, the ownership change and the subsequent crap that came after all of these. Best thing I ever did was emotionally divest myself, sell the PSLs, and get rid of most every bit of 17 years of Panther memorabilia I collected. I still have a few collector pieces, paintings, photos, etc., but nothing that attaches me to the team any longer. I instead just started watching the games I think will be an entertaining and good matchup to see. The league is broken, favoritism is obvious; officiating is clearly biased, lacking accountability and, under Goodell's watchful eye, corrupt as hell. But I hope to see a good game on occasion. Much better for your mental well-being and health. Best of luck to both of you- the withdrawals aren't as bad as you think. And those around you will be much better off as well when you come out the other side a better person, without so much anger, frustration and focused negativity.

I think we roll with who we have. If Anderson isn't ready by the TDL, we may see him go to LTIR just to free up some money for a trade. And I still believe Drury and Pesce are in play. Maybe TDA and Lemiux, but neither of them will bring much In return.

I think the kid at Georgia is already projected to be the #1 pick in 25.

Glad you finished that nicely. We'll played. I'd be hard pressed to find a #2 QB in the NFL as bad as Carolina's #1 overall.

33 total yards of offense at halftime. The 1-15 Chris Weinke Panthers weren't this bad.

Mayfield is actually playing pretty well. Nice to see.

And Campbell said he spoke to the refs specifically about this play.

If the OL is that bad, then move the QB. Young just stands there and takes the hit.

1st overall pick: tackling dummy.

2 days off before the New York Rags Tuesday night game. The standings: Harbingers- 3 Anybodyhome- 3 Panthers Fan 69- 2 WelshPanther- 2 MillionDollarCam- 1 BY9Franchise- 1

He's gonna get snubbed for LeTang, who had 5 assists in a single period earlier this week.

The Leafs have climbed another rung towards the top of my most disliked teams list. Refs swallowed whistles too many times again tonite. The hit on Fast was high- no call. Matthew's firing the puck after taking a penalty is a misconduct- no call. Leafs players begging for calls by throwing their arms up everytime something happened is a misconduct- no call.

Good 1st period. Leafs are gonna get their chances, just gotta D up.

That and playing against his former team.

I liked the top 2 lines the last 2 games, but the KK line has gone missing those 2 games. With last change I don't think RBA can afford to keep that line together.

Noesen.

I see Pyotr in net against Toronto, NY and Washington. Raanta will probably get the home game on the back side of the B2B against St. Louis. That is, unless Pyotr absolutely sh!ts the bed in any of those games. Then it's a crapshoot. Watched a replay of the game this afternoon and, my personal feelings aside, Drury got hosed a couple times last night. Not only was the goalie interference a bullshit call, it wasn't close to being right. Contact with the goalie didn't occur until after the puck was in the net and it was initiated by the goalie. Drury wasn't getting out of the way because his stick was being held up and the defensive player was holding him in the crease. The breakaway attempt, as I stated in an earlier post, was a penalty shot all day. He got a stick up on the hands from behind- the definition of a slashing penalty- and none was called. Both of those calls were egregiously bad and the officials were simply horrible. Here's Noesen's hit, for those of you wanting to see some physicality. https://x.com/Sportsnet/status/1740562475169546423?s=20

Heading into New Years weekend and the beginning of a tough 3-game road trip in Toronto, NY Rags and Washington with a back-to-back Friday/Saturday next week. Updated standings with a newcomer to the leaderboard- BY9Franchise Harbingers- 3 Anybodyhome- 3 Panthers Fan 69- 2 WelshPanther- 1 MillionDollarCam- 1 BY9Franchise- 1

Just got home.... Raanta is in his own head. I watched his body language during the TV timeouts, pre-game, intermission and I swear he's talking to himself. Noesen will probably catch a fine for laying out Caufield Drury should have gotten a penalty shot on his breakaway. He got slashed pretty clearly. Skjei got cross-checked while he was on one knee right in front of a ref at the bench. Refs were just awful. Chatty has lightning hands. He's gonna get paid. Love watching him play.

This just in...... Raanta still sucks.

I think he's on short notice tonight. If tonight's game gets out of hand and his goaltending is the reason, I don't think RBA will wait to pull him. After tonight, 3 on the road in Toronto, Rags and Washington. Canes needed last night's 2 points, another 2 tonight and at least 3 of the next 6 points available on the road, although 2 wins would be okay with me. Another back-to-back next Friday-Saturday (@ Washington, come home for St. Louis).
