Pack it in... Bring on McEichel

Well after watching the Canes get dismantled today by the Flyers, I've officially decide to pack it in and so have the Canes as they are tied for dead last in the NHL with Edmonton (who we played just a decade ago for the Stanleu Cup).

Contrary to Peter Karmanos's belief that this team is good enough to win the whole thing, the Canes simply aren't a good hockey team.

Their #1 center is an enigmatic player that beats to his own drum (E. Staal), then there is the million dollar Russian who has one goal (Semin), the hobbled #2 center (J. Staal), the garbage goal machine first line winger (Tlusty), a midget (Gerbe), a ginger (Nash/who has supeisingly played well), a couple of swedes that are pissed off they're in Raleigh (Lindholm/Rask), a concussion waiting to happen (Skinner), a few AHL forwards (Terry/Boychuk), and a few forwards that shouldn't even be playing in the NHL (Malone/McClement), a dude whose name sounds like a nasal allergy (Nestrasil), a third liner who somehow ends up on the first line at random times (Dwyer) team USA (Faulk), Suh-care-uh (Sekera), two dudes who were traded for each other (Gleason/Liles), a guy who constantly scores on his own net (Hainsey), a few guys that take penalties at the worst opportuned time (Harrison/Bellemore), a dude named after the greatest athlete ever (Jordan), and two goalies that have swapped places since last year (Ward/Khudobin).

That sounds like a team that can win it all?!?!

Bring on McEichel!!!

Connor McDavid: 18 GP, 16 goals, 35 assists, 51 points, +34, 26 PIM

Jack Eichel: 16 GP, 8 goals, 19 assists, 27 points, +21, 10 PIM

That's it for your public service announcement.

I'm assuming you guys have been paying close attention to your potential future Hurricanes at the World Jr's?

I expected a lot more from Eichel

Yeah I thought McDavid looked good and I was really impressed with Dylan Strome.

As for our prospects I thought Tolchinsky from Russia looked good, I'm bummed that Fleury didn't make a Team Canada though.

    • No one way to do it, it does appear that with the bigger draft picks of the last 5 years…..majority haven’t steered clear of young QBs on the roster being their hopeful guy. Especially past their rookie seasons but even some the biggest ones have had it early.   As far as Andy Dalton, the two young guys he has “mentored”…..have had very rough NFL starts.  Which really ask the why the heck is Dalton here.   He doesn’t really check any box.  No young potential.  Can’t step in and win.  And his mentor track record with Fields and now Bryce is bad 
    • I had thought the Panthers might let him play out his contract this year and hope he stays healthy. If not draft a left tackle and move Ekwonu to right tackle. 
    • Frankly, if most teams in the NFL lose their starting QB for a significant amount of time, they're screwed. The fantasy is that one has a future Tony Romo or a Nick Foles that can carry a stacked team. The reality is that you might get roughly 3~5 games out of your backup before it all falls apart. Remember all of Peyton Manning's backups? Utterly terrible. Speaking of backup QB's, Raiders may need one. https://www.nfl.com/news/raiders-qb-aidan-o-connell-suffered-fractured-wrist-in-preseason-finale-expected-to-be-out-6-8-weeks
