The Difference Between the Carolina Franchises


Mother Grabber

Recommended Posts

The difference between the Carolina Panthers Football and Carolina Hurricanes Hockey.

Carolina Panthers football went to the superbowl. They gave the coach a contract extension. The league figured him out, and have passed him by. They still have this coach and are slowly crumbing around him.

Carolina Hurricanes hockey won the Stanley cup. They gave the coach a contract extension. The league figured him out. They cut the cord mid season when they still had time to correct things. Made the playoffs and went to the conference finals.

Rutherford watches his team and isn't afraid to make adjustments when they are needed. It takes tough love to build a winning franchise.

Pt II

Carolina Hurricanes introduced cheerleaders into hockey rinks. Now, several other teams are doing the same thing. They encourage active fans and are routinely ranked as one of the better places to see a professional hockey game...at least in the US.

Carolina Panthers encourage passive fans, and kick people out for standing up. No questions asked. It's own fans are admitting that it's better to watch games at home than to go see them live.

God I hate these threads.

Carolina Hurricanes hockey won the Stanley cup. They gave the coach a contract extension. The league figured him out. They cut the cord mid season when they still had time to correct things. Made the playoffs and went to the division finals.

And then hired him again. Let's fire Fox and hire Dom Capers (actually doesn't sound like that bad of an idea lol)

Paul Maurice is garbage.

Rutherford watches his team and isn't afraid to make adjustments when they are needed. It takes tough love to build a winning franchise.

People don't even realize that the Hurricanes were rewarded a damn good franchise to begin with, while the Panthers are an expansion team. Tenfold in the way to "build a winner".

The fired Maurice after losing in the cup finals in 2002. Fired Laviolette after winning the cup. Both cases because the coach's style had become stale. The fact that Rutherford was willing to bring people back, like Maurice and Aaron Ward shows that he makes moves for the good of the team, and not what's best for his ego.

As for the damn good franchise...they had 10 straight losing seasons, and only a couple of winning seasons in their entire history before moving to Carolina. They had missed the playoffs for 5 straight years. In their first 10 years in Carolina, they made the cup finals twice and won it once. You have to give their management major credit for the turnaround.

how can you even compare a NHL franchise to an NFL franchise? you need to compare them to the AFL,they currently are not playing like NHL did a few back

I'm comparing how they teams are managed. The Hurricanes recognize problems and fix them, even at the top. The Panthers don't and are stuck spinning their wheels in mediocrity.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
