I had the opposite take, Canes actually looked pretty good, you gotta remember the Islanders have a knack of dictating play, and they play very slow...low scoring and excellent defense. To steal one from them on home ice is huge especially after playing 90 minutes of hockey not even 48 hours earlier.  This game should be a huge boost for them.  Ready to see #19 back out there with fresh legs.

i thought the canes looked a lot more equal to the islanders than they did vs the caps. they spent so much of the first series chasing the play. this game looked like two equal teams, with outstanding goal tending on both sides.

the good thing is that if the canes were tired from game 7, and this is the worst they will look, they have a really good chance to move on, though every game will likely be close.

    • That was intended to be plural. Games(3 games he played in 2004). Yeah, I think objectively CJ is still the better QB but I also no longer have a rosy view of his career. I don't know that he is going to ascend any further than his rookie year and he may descend quite far if his confidence is shattered. I am not in the CJ vs. Bryce camp like most of you all are. I don't want either of them. Especially in the context of potentially getting a mega deal. I could be wrong about both or either in the end but my bet now is that entire 2023 first round QB class just doesn't have any upper tier QB's.  
    • I think DJ will always catch some heat because he will never be an elite WR, despite having elite attributes. I remember that when he was here. We all saw Steve Smith play for years, so we know what a truly elite WR looks like. DJ was never that. Now, is he a very, very good WR? Yes. Is he one of the best 15-20 WR's in the NFL year in and year out? I would say yes, as well. But he will always get some doubters because he is the tier below the truly elite WR's. I do agree, though. Would love to still have it. Would love to have reversed that trade immediately. Especially with the benefit of hindsight the way we have now. It's way more painful from that view.
    • No, he never threw 8 tds in a game.  I feel like we're splitting hairs and are describing the exact same situation, but you're looking through the lens of recency bias.  Either way, the original point remains the same.  CJ Stroud is still far better than Bryce Young.
