Before I saw your post I had actually checked my HDR settings on my TV figured my kid switched it lol

Not just you too white like the contrast is off

Aho you gotta shoot that dude

Woooo slavin laying monster hits! Dude ups the physicality in the post season

And won a cup its hilarious.

Soooo basically what they did against new jersey and Washington.... The droning heads are annoying mute it and put on 99.9 for tripp. They are also acting like those 4 one goal victories (actually played 6 games of ice time with all the overtime) agaist a depleted canes team two years ago matters.

Why anyone cares about draft grades before any of them play is beyond me simple click bait.

He has average speed for NFL wide receiver... as in all WRs not just bigger receivers. Average is 4.494 yes its a pro day 40 but he ran a 4.48 here's a list of guys who ran slower pro day 40s.... Davante Adams 4.56 Keenan Allan 4.71 Micheal Thomas 4.55 Deandre Hopkins 4.57 Heck Mike Evans ran a 4.55 at the combine. Slow is for sub 6 foot and 200 WRs is anything after 4.54 Slow for 6+ 200+ WRs is anything after 4.6 Even if you add a couple tenths for the pro day time he's likely faster than comparable body types like Evans,Thomas and Adams. Slow is Kelvin Benjamin and his 4.67 pre acl tear.

While I don't believe its a must win, (we have been better on the road this post season) it is definitely A NEED TO WIN the longer this series goes the more pronounced the Canes advantage on rest and health will be! If we hold serve at home in games 1 and 2 guaranteeing a 6 game minimum series for them if we lose the road games..... by the game 4 and 5 I expect them to be beat they have played A LOT OF HOCKEY the last three years, they have MINIMAL rest off a more physical than one might have expected series vs the leafs.... you know Tampa took their pound of flesh in round 1 from them. Combine all that with the fact that even though this year's canes squad isn't as talented as last years this IS a better squad than the one they swept last time that had McKenzie Mckeathern on line 1 Turbo with a broken hand a banged uo and eventually concussed Slavin (and even though it was a sweep 6 OTS and 4 1 goal losses is hardly dominant) This year Bob hasn't been superman (hes probably gonna still have a great save percentage agiast us just a side effect of our style) Thatchuk is maybe 50% (3 game winners agiast us) their defense no longer has Gudas and several other downgrades. While the Canes have a healthy and performing Svechnikov along with other big guys to counteract florida like Carrier, Jankowski, Robinson. I by know means think it will happen but I either see this as a low scoring dog fight or a series were the canes surprise and end up dominating.

I feel like its Jarvis

Oh shoot I was at that one too, ironically right before mine lol. Ive been to a ton since I didn't do a full 20.

Always these sides.

Kung foo was right the lightning did win 3 strait ECF but that was during not one but two shortened seasons.

Yes a technicaly but what I was looking at was full seasons played, the lightning won both their cups in shortened covid years..... 10 games less in 19 and 20 and 22 games less in 21 22, basically the extra post season wear and tear would have only been the equivalent of full regular seasons. It's never been done in a full length 82 game 16 game minimum playoffs format.

For the playoffs i think you could do a best of five for round one if they expand the playoffs by two teams and give the top two seeds a bye.... But a best of 7 is hockey gold they won't be changing that for the latter series trust me. I will say I absolutely hate this divisional format they've had the last 8 years..... Half the best teams got knocked out every year in the second round because they are playing the second best conference team in round 2.

Nope Tuesday at 8pm.... A huge advantage for the Canes IMO we had a week off whereas Florida will be flying from Toronto to Raleigh today without going back to Miami. Ive watched the Panthers this playoffs and they are not in the same form they were the past two years, Thatchuk is banged up and not effective, Bob hasn't been god mode. Interestingly enough they are trying to reach a third strait finals..... somthing that hasn't been done in the last 50 years.... there is a reason for it that is A LOT OF EXTRA HOCKEY.

Phillys line graded out 9th in run blocking.... the Panthers 10th and the grades were essentially no different.

This is a bad take dude..... Fitzpatrick was far far more turnover prone if anything hes a less turnover prone Fitzpatrick

I mean if your already eliminated in season yeah id rather have better picks than feel good wins, but 3 months prior to the start of the season with the hope of actually being a watchable product on the horizon f*ck that noise.

Strong disagree part of building a future contender is linear improvement, getting in the playoffs and getting that big game experience is how you become a true contender.

Agreed the NHL tends to making watching it EXCLUSIVE instead of INCLUSIVE.... The Hockey is one of a few sports that brings the things so many love about football (physicality speed and excitement) its the only other sport we're hitting is a legal part of the game..... If they made it easier to actually watch the product the popularity would sky rocket. I'm not sure i agree with the shorter season mainly just because it takes most teams 20-30 games just to round into form.

???? The game is tomorrow dude?

Svechnikov vs Thachuk Staal vs Bennet I agree on that one but have a feeling it will be Jarvy going agaist the rat

That's the ebbs and flows of hockey man as long as it isn't a meltdown on the score board just power through.... This will be a very gritty low scoring and physical affair.
