Mrazek looked great tonight. Shoulda been a shutout.

Svechnikov's mom is hot.

The team overall looked great. That's the best we have looked in a while. Need to finish this month strong because the teams we are battling with in the Metro are faltering a little. We need to take advantage and get a little breathing room(although most likely temporary).

Philly is playing lights out right now. Tough back-to-back to play the Rangers at home and fly north to get the Leafs 24 hours later.

Last night might have been the most complete game the Canes have played in a long time. Although it would have been much closer except for the fact Nashville's power play is atrocious...

Good thing we already have the tie breaker over Philly. I'm focused less on them and more on CBJ and NYI faltering. Islanders have the Avs tonight in Denver I believe and another CBJvsPHI game the next night. If we can muster 3 points out of the next 2 games we will be in great shape coming down the home stretch.

Nevermind, last night was a poofest.

Last night was incredibly frustrating.  The Rangers just have our number.  Two goals off our skates.  Poor penalties. Bad sticks.

I'm really frustrated with Dzingle.  I think he has just underwhelmed so vastly.  While I think we have some of the best young talent in the league, we're just not in position to compete this year specifically because we lost Dougie. So I don't think a marginal upgrade via trade will put us over the top.  I really want this team to make the playoffs however, even if we get bounced in the first round.  That has more to do with maintaining a winning culture then anything else.  What we don't want to be is a one hit wonder when it comes to the post season.  

We shall see.  We do have games in hand, but our March schedule is brutal.

We can't keep letting these kind of games get away from us. As you said. March is brutal. On the positive side, we have a lot of opportunities in March to gain ground in the playoff hunt with so many opponents that we are battling with.

This was the greatest hurricane victory I have ever seen, completely unbelievable. Wow, that could change your season. There could be a movie made about this one, no kidding.

Yeah, it may change our season and not for the better, unfortunately. Rod said in the press conference that Pesce was going to out for "....a long time." That is not good.

Just trade for lehner and give him a 1-2 yr contract. fug it.

As long as it doesn’t involve trading Bean (bring him up to fill in for Pesce) or our first round picks. Second rounder(s) and lesser prospect(s), fine.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
