Well... the Canes will have to go through the defending Stanley Cup Champions in round one.

The series will most likely start this Wednesday. The Canes were 0-3-1 against the Capitals in the four games the two teams played during the regular season and two of the games were very close.

It will be really interesting to see Ferland against Wilson in this matchup as playoff hockey is a whole different breed.

One of Mrazek's only blemishes in the last 13 games was against the Capitals, hopefully he can steal us this series.

I hate the Caps, how Wilson is still playing in the NHL is beyond me and Ovechkin is a cherry-picker with one shot in his arsenal, from the left wing.

Nothing would make me happier than to see the Caps go down in flames, but I just don't see it for at least the first round.

Wilson has a bad rep but there are way worse guys in the league than him. I hate them all too, but gotta give credit to Ovechkin. Everyone knows what’s coming every time and the guy still scores. He’s unstoppable and will probably be the all time goal leader when he retires, which is kind of unfathomable considering the era he’s played in. Winning this series would be like winning the cup for me, as making the playoffs this year was already a huge deal.

Question: How has there been 0 posts in this sub-forum since we've been playing playoff hockey? Let's get hype boys. GAME SEVEN. I honestly am prepared for a loss but at least having a chance is better than nothing. Road team is 0-6 in the series. But hey, we got the first lead change of the series tonight, and might have Svech or/and Ferland back for game 7. Hopefully Marty didn't re-injure himself too hard tonight. 

Let's go Canes!

They put a thread in the main Panthers forum to try to get a little more involvement from the others that don't frequent this subforum.  Check it out.

      Great point.    I would lke to add that there is another QB on the roster who was terrible over the middle--Kenny Pickett.

      I don't think this is the year for Carolina, unfortunately.  I think they will have to make a decision on the QB position-all we know is that Bryce has year 5, but a long term deal has not been signed--yet--and they would be smart to take a "wait and see" approach.  I have not kept up, and I see a path to upside for Bryce, but I do not think we have aggressively pursued a QB when our QB was mediocre to worse than mediocre.  yes, his numbers are improving--but he has adapted by eliminating what he does poorly and not improving on what he does poorly.  Just my take and I have no data to support this view.   Basically, we go as Bryce goes, so the approach is not to bring in a QB to have him compete until we find one, but it is to make Bryce as good as he can be--is that good enough? Season ticket holders buy the hope of winning rings, not winning 8 games. Last year, Bryce had a resurgence.  Take away TMac and Rico Dowdle.  How good was he?  I still have hope.  Not a hater of plan A, but a hater because we have no plan B.

      Yeah man, I've been here for a very very long time. Couldn't even begin to tell you what year. Maybe 2004 or 5? I've never really been super active, just enjoy reading everyone's opinions and discussions. I'll chime in from time to time. I have had a few different accounts over the years. It's always been a fun place for me to check in on my favorite team. Hopefully we can keep the place running for a long while still. I also would like to recommend bringing back the Lovely Ladies page!
