I feel like our goalies are giving us a solid chance.

They seem to be shifting towards playing Mrazek on the road and McElhinney at home.

Mrazek has a .915 on the road and McElhinney has a .931 at home. We just can’t score.

We have Aho playing at an 82 point pace and Teravainen at a 67 point pace, that’s it.

All of the other scoring is secondary scoring this year, meaning it’s not consistent.

Aho, Teravainen, and Svechnikov are literally the only offensive pieces that get me excited when discussing the Hurricanes.

I feel like the defense has been adequate with de Haan, Pesce, and Faulk playing really well, Slavin being his same old self, and Van Riemsdyk being decent. Hamilton has been horrible this year and not getting any scoring from him hurts.

Trading away Lindholn who is on a 98 point pace and Skinner who is on an 82 point pace was STUPID.

Another goal for El Nino. The Canes are closing in on the playoffs, just three points out.

The current pace has the magic number of points at 96. With the Canes at 56 points they would need 40 points out of their remaining 31 games which puts them at a 20-11 record over the last 31 with multiple combinations of overtime losses working towards their favor as well.

The Canes also have the highest ROW of any eastern conference team not already in playoff position, this gives them a nice advantage should they go on a run to close the season out.

Enormous game tonite.  Matt Murray has been an absolute Cane killer and Pittsburgh has had their number since they were responsible for sweeping them out of their last playoff berth in 2009.  No Malkin tonite, that helps.  This is a road trip the Canes need to scrap for points on and it'd be amazing to steal 2 in Pitt tonite.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By fanpanther · Posted

      the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
