Carolina Hurricanes 2009-2010 Regular Season Thread

Yea we certainly did not look like we were ready for the season to begin. We did come on stronger and outshoot them in the 3rd period, and that is a little encouraging. Fortunately there are 81 more games to go!

'Canes are going to Boston tonight. Puck drops at 7:00 again. Should be a good game. Hope to see some adjustments made. We just need some bounces to go our way.

Are we really this bad?

We may be. There is plenty of time to turn this around this season, but it doesn't look promising. Someone needs to coach our D up. PLAY THE BODY. Physicality anyone?

Apparently defense is optional in Carolina sports.

If we are unable to match the physicality of teams then this is going to be a long season. We can not keep getting pushed around when we have the puck, and we can not allow them to skate the zone every time they have the puck. We gotta put someone on the ice.

It's game 2 and Pitkanen hasn't played yet. No need to panic just yet, it's a long season.

On another note, anyone heard anything about Cole's injury?

All I could find was this:

It says they kept him out as a precaution due to the lopsided score. The extent of the injury unknown.

    • I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes. 
    • Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.  
    • Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
