Well, the Canes got a little help and will be playing for playoff positioning tomorrow against the Devils.

Just an idea of where things stand:

Metro

1. Islanders - 70 points

2. Capitals - 67 points

3. Blue Jackets - 65 points

4. Penguins - 63 points (Wild Card 2)

5. Hurricanes - 62 points

6. Sabres - 61 points

7. Flyers - 57 points

It's super hard to make up points in the NHL, the Flyers are 9-0-1 in their last 10 and still trail the Canes by 5 points (the Canes own the tiebreaker), the Canes need to make sure they keep winning the games they are supposed to.

Hopefully Philly will go 10-0-1 today and handle the Pens.

We got a little help from Winnipeg as they beat the Sabres in regulation today.

The projected cut line is now 93 points which drops the magic number down a bit. A record of 16-10 over the final 26 would put as at the 93 point marker. This number will fluctuate up or down depending on how the Flyers/Pens game goes tomorrow.

Go Flyers

    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical. 
    • Football is not the professional sport where timidness and apprehension are justly rewarded. 
    • Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
