My quick recap of the Bucs game

Finally got back online (the mobile app isn't loading for me, so that's fun), wanted to share my thoughts on the game - in no particular order:

  • Didn't get to the game early enough to poke my head over at the Roaring Riot tailgate, but I did get a quick chat with some fellow Rioters in the official Rioter section over near the Pirate Ship. They were told they couldn't hang the Roaring Riot banner up anywhere in the stadium, but I did see it proudly being waved around by a few Carolina folk at various moments during the game
  • I did hear a "Let's Go Panthers" chant going on early in the first quarter from the lower bowl. NICE!
  • As usual, there was a fairly large contingent of Panthers fans all over the place. Bucs fans are often really super nice (everyone hates the Falcons more than they do Carolina), and there was a lot of "hey, welcome to town, enjoy the game" camaraderie going on. TB games are always a great place to go for an away game.
  • Yeah, it rained. But it wasn't as bad as that rain-soaked game we sat through at Clemson during season 1
  • It's not my first time to CARvsTB game - but I still think that Pirate Ship inside the stadium is pretty darn cool (I like unique stadium features like that; anything to personalize the inside of the field/arena so it's not so generic vs others is always a plus to me).
  • Bucs fans love to boo their own team.  A lot.  Especially their kicker.  At one point I overheard, "Glad the Panthers scored again; that means we have to go for touchdowns instead of missing another field goal attempt".  They were yelling loudly to "go for 2" every chance they had.  They had every reason to.
  • Another benefit of open-air stadiums? Pre-game flyovers.
  • Love how easy it is to get in and out of the stadium. Plenty of room for tailgaters everywhere, no matter how much space your tailgate needs. 
  • And finally, a special shoutout to the four Panthers fans sitting a few rows behind me in the 300's near the 50-yard line.  Thank you for sharing your Carolina Hospitality by flashing your panties and boobs to the crowd a number of times. (I believe the crotch shots were accidental; the boobs were definitely on purpose.)

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
