"It's only preseason" .... well...

"It's only preseason"

For the most part, I agree. However, when the entire team comes out looking completely unprepared and uninterested in running the plays they rehearsed all week it is a concern. Mainly because the Panthers have looked that exact same way a game or two every season under Rivera, making it a trend. 

My hope here is that they got it out of their system and a good ass chewing after the game when the outcomes don't matter.

The difference in quality  between games 1 and 2 of preseason was so significant, there has to be an explanation.   I hope we get answers.  Did Washington become D coord for a day?   Our OL was the worst part, and that is the area we had to solve in the offseason.  So where does that leave us ?

Weren't there similar hopes like this after the blowout loss to Pittsburgh in primetime last year?

I think it's past time for Ron Rivera's team to cease being on the receiving end of these blowouts for awhile. Especially at home where our record last year wasn't exactly pretty.

When Washington starts calling the plays... The whole D looks lost.  It’s like he speaks different language.

I don’t get why everyone thinks Washington was calling the plays. A) we were playing vanilla gameplan, B) Rivera has a play sheet in his hand, C) sounded like classic Mixon hyperbole, Washington is the coordinator so he has to be calling the D.

This. I don't get why anyone takes anything Mick Mixon says seriously. Dude literally opened last night's broadcast talking about the 2 teams "grinding on each other" during practice this week. He can't look away from Rivera's "ample chest" long enough to actually know what's going on.

One explanation is it was our back ups against their starters during 1st half and we got slaughtered, then second half when their back ups came out it was even.  At least that makes me feel a little better.

It was staters minus Luke/Shaq for the first quarter/a bit of the second quarter.

Week one was our backups against their back ups. Week two was our back ups against their starters. Luke and Cam are the ones energizing our team and helping everyone get in place, take them away plus CMC, Greg and Shaq and this is what you get... Not saying our backups are terrible, they just aren’t ready to go head to head against one another team’s starters (especially one of the top pass defenses in the league).

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
