He still hasn't looked like himself this year.

I'm hoping it's just the dumbass system we've been running, but I have to acknowledge there could be other issues.

I'm thinking it's also the line play in front of him that often leaves him fending off blockers he rarely had to deal with in years past when our line play was better. Anything beyond those two things would be...unpleasant to think about

Tell me one person who has...our scheme sucks. 

I think that losing is getting to him, too.  He just is missing plays he made in the past.  Maybe he is just needing to work so much harder for everything he gets that h is more likely to miss some than he used to.

I’m sure it’s tough putting in all the work to win, knowing exactly what the opposite team will do while having players all around you not do simple assignments. Teams game plan around our linebackers now in this terrible defense because it’s all we have.

    • Andy Dalton is a nice guy... But we aren't running a charity here. It's about damn time! Here's a VERY fun thread to revisit.
    • I really enjoyed it. Well put together recap of the season that showed the emotion of the ups and downs this season. Brought back a lot of painful and joyful memories. This was a strange season to say the least. I threw in the towel at least 2 maybe 3 times this year. Yet I was still relatively proud of the team and the fans by season ending. Hoping we can continue to build on this!
    • To be honest, I didn't read or hear of any decent goalies who may have been available. Sure, there was an article suggesting Florida may offer Bob, but look what happened- they're actually talking about a new contract for the UFA net-minder.  On the other hand, here's how someone else categorized the crickets chirping from the Canes: https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/3481704/winners-and-losers-from-2026-nhl-trade-deadline The Hurricanes were in excellent position to make a splash but did nothing other than add some toughness to their fourth line in Nicolas Deslauriers. That's awfully disappointing for the Eastern Conference club, which entered the deadline with four first-round picks over the next three years, a strong farm system, and more cap space than any other contender. While Carolina doesn't have any glaring holes, upgrading the second-line center spot should've been a priority. Can it win a Cup with 5-foot-8 sophomore Logan Stankoven in that role? He's likely better suited to play wing. Adding a goalie would've helped, too, given Brandon Bussi's inexperience and Frederik Andersen's struggles. A depth defenseman wouldn't have hurt either. The Hurricanes have a pretty straightforward path to another Eastern Conference Final, considering how weak the rest of the Metropolitan Division is. But nobody should be surprised if they're once again outmatched by whoever emerges from the superior Atlantic Division, in part because of the inaction by GM Eric Tulsky. --------------------------------------- Exactly what a few of the astute regulars on this board have hypothesized, I might add. And if a handful of fans can see this.... well....
