hockey is boring, that being said Ill always support the state squad once they make the playoffs. explain the hurricanes to me like a 5 year old. whos the best player? who is the coach? will they have a chance at winning a series?

Best player is Sebastian Aho, but he's been pretty average the past month. Still, he's thought of as the best player. Had a breakout season this year. Rod Brind'Amour is the Coach, he was the Captain on the Stanley Cup team from 2006 (picture below). They have a chance, as everyone has a chance to win in the NHL Playoffs. An Eighth seed's goalie can get hot, and they can make the Stanley Cup Finals (see the Predators two years ago). Fun fact, in 2006, the Hurricanes were a 1 seed in the Stanley Cup Finals and went to 7 games vs the Wests 8th seed in the Edmenton Oilers. The first team to make the Finals of any Professional sport as an eighth seed since the 1999 New York Knicks.

What the hell  is this? 

I don't  care what  time  of year  it  is--this  has  nothing to  do  with  the Panthers and this  is a Panther  forum.   Why is that concept  so difficult?

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, okay. Well, it's the offseason, which means that this can happen. Did you complain when there was 85 Mocks being created? Did you complain about the Mahomes arm strength vs Josh Allen thread? Bruh, get your priorities straight. This is the only Professional Carolina team that made the Playoffs the last year. Why is this concept so difficult? If you didn't like the Thread, don't come in the mother fuger. DUHHHHHHHHHH.

Panthers forum or not you would think that a savvy businessman like Jeremy would like to make his message board the premier Carolina sports message board.

Right now he has little to no competition when it comes to viewership and membership for Canes and Hornets fans outside of a few national boards that aren’t affiliated with anything Carolina.

If he wants to move the thread fine, but to bitch and complain about this state’s only team who is on the upswing and has a chance to be special is elementary.

You don’t like hockey, ignore it... simple as that.

But if you want to support a team who has had more national publicity (that should have been capitalized on by this website) in the last three months than the Panthers have had since they went to the Super Bowl then join the rest of us who actually want to see THEIR STATE’S team do well... regardless of the sport.

GO CANES!

This has to do with getting the team some exposure...because for once this year we have a sports team in the post season.  Some may not like it...but as the playoffs heat up...most will be happy its here.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
