Helluva game yesterday, despite how miserable the officiating was.

Anyone heard an update on Wallmark? Concussion?

Haven’t seen an official update but he was on the bench in OT so I think he was cleared and was fine.

Mrazek sucks. Period.

Yeah, he isn't a starter. This was my major concern going into the season. Hopefully we do something about it. I'm tired of Carolina sports sticking with mediocre players because they have "heart and fire".

Mrazek is just showing his bad side.  It's unfortunate but this has been his MO his entire career.  Streaky.  He did get hung out on some bad defense. Losing Dougie hurt more than I thought it would. 

Streaky isn't going to cut it in this battle for the playoffs, much less trying to make a Stanley Cup run.

Canes didn't even look like a playoff hopeful last night. They are struggling on the back end and I'm not sure why Edmundson isn't getting more ice time. I mean, Gardiner is good, but he makes mistakes sometimes that are rookie-ish.

Don't even get me started on the goalie thing. Too frustrating to talk about. If you're going to platoon goalies and your number one is playing barely over .500, you're not going far.

So, do you do anything  before the trade deadline? Vatanen or Dumba to shore up the D or rent a goalie?

This team still desperately needs another reliable scoring option, a stay-at-home defender and a goaltender.  Mrazek is too inconsistent to be the starter and Reimer, while better in recent months than Mrazek, isn't the horse I wanna hitch my wagons to for a playoff run.

I with you, something just feels like it is missing from this team. Hamilton is a big deal, but after watching Faulk the other night, maybe he was the missing link. I don’t know something is just missing.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      We’re in a pickle. My best hope is we protect him and can run the ball vs most Ds and the WRs are healthy so he has every chance to not look like what he looked like in too many games last year.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.
