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.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.

      Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
