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.

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.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By Basbear · Posted

      I miss many of the OGs like @ladypanther Zob had a bad off week and came in here to do some mopping and a couple of the 10 year 15k post account he just banned over a silly disagreement, just odd behavior from Zob. A Pessimal deal happened with Lady and others. I tired to find a new forum and could not get around the signing up part...same for discord. Its not perfect here by any means, but I still feel welcomed here for the most part and this place does have the most freedom. I hate how the right vs left BS nearly cooked this place, I still believe in removing the litterbox, toxic as hell and lollolols @ anyone coming into a team forum to talk about pointless politics of the uni party turds.  @Bear Hands you saved this place with your activity. It helped offset the lost of OGs and the knowledgeable that leftd.    It would help for new members and I do get the spammers deals, just got to mod them away and hope opening the door brings in fresh blood.

      That seems about right. No higher than that for a bottom third qb with two years left, including one expensive year. He played well enough last year to show he is startable. It depends on whether other teams thought he has any upside left and whether he's been hindered by coaching and surrounding cast. I think most teams would answer no, but if they thought he could step it up just a little I could see trading a fourth or fifth for a bridge guy/top tier backup.
