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.

    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
