Carolina Hurricanes Playoffs


t96

Recommended Posts

For those that don't know, the NHL is officially returning to play today with play-in and round-robin games for a week and then regular best of 7 series playoffs. The game kicking off the return is your Carolina Hurricanes vs. New York Rangers at 12:00pm today, as a part of the play-in round (it's a best of 5 elimination series). For all intents and purposes this is the playoffs. We finally have some actual Carolina sports to discuss. 

 

There's a playoff thread in the Canes forum: 

Or we can just discuss here if allowed by MFCEO. Go Canes

Completely off topic but any idea on why they would not continue their affiliation with CLT? Made so much sense to have the farm team close to Raleigh and they were coming off a Calder Cup Championship.

The Checkers were fleecing them.  Pretty much the Canes gave them a discount for the affiliation.  The Checkers didn't want to up the ante.  Also the Checkers got mad at the Canes for calling up players to often during playoff pushes.  Checkers should have known their place.  The Canes pretty much handed them a Calder.

Same try Fox Sports South. 
 

Edit: Or Fox Sports or whatever the hell it is called now 

Switched from Spectrum to AT&T a few months ago. Turns out they don't carry Fox Sports Carolinas. 

Oh well.

Where is everyone watching this? NBCSports is blacked out for me. 

Yeah I’m out of market so I just have NBCSN. There may be some streams or other options if you look around.

    • Yup. I'm exactly as dedicated to this team as they are to putting a quality product on the field. Life is too short to spend getting upset about garbage.  I'm a fan. I'll (probably) always be a fan. But because I am not submitting myself to weekly torture doesn't mean my fandom is less pure than anyone else's. 
    • It a message board so I can see the difference in what we are talking about. Quote by 45cat: "Yes, but it's only in these circumstances where he thrives, that's the problem  He can't be a true franchise QB and wait until the game is out of reach when the defense goes into prevent defense to finally flip on his baller switch." The circumstances where he thrives being only times when the game is out of reach and garbage time. That is the lie. It was 45cat who defined his play in garbage time as "turning on his baller switch".  I don't think I've even given the illusion that Bryce "can" be a franchise QB if he only "flips on his baller switch" during garbage time.  I don't think anyone has ever said that.  The whole point of what he is saying is that you can't give Bryce credit for garbage time.  I agree. I just happen to think it's hyperbole to say that is the only time he's played well.  There are more than 2 choices of "He sucks, cut him.  Worst QB ever" and "Franchise QB".  I've consistently said over and over that despite his bad play, he has only shown a ton of improvement overall in the last 10 games from last year.  The difference from game 1 last year to game 18 was something very few fans even thought possible. People saying he was too small and would never hold up in the NFL.  Dude can take a shot.  People saying he doesn't have the ability to throw down the field.  That great pass in game 1 from this year that Nola should have caught in the endzone was 43 yards in the air.  He can make all the throws. They said he can't throw when pressured.  Was one of the top QB's under pressure over the 2nd half of last season.   They said he doesn't throw deep.  Had one of the highest deep pass attempts in the league over the 2nd half of the season. They said, Oh, well, he can but he's not good at it.  Of those deep passes he was one of the most accurate despite a high drop rate by his receivers. People keep saying it's been 3 years.  That's enough time to see he sucks.  In reality it's been 2 years and 2 games.  There is no way I'll ever believe his rookie year didn't set him back.  No matter what was said it was a horrible situation on every level.  We are trying to come out of and build from that Frank Reich year which I hope was the bottom of the barrel.  I've never seen a worse situation for a rookie QB, maybe for any QB.  I don't think it's that much of a stretch after how bad that year was for any players development to set it aside and say that year doesn't paint an accurate picture.     I'm not even arguing for Bryce in so much as I'm arguing to have more patience and quit with the hyperbole and over the top statement or outright lies.  It's only because a handful of the same people have hated Bryce since he was drafted and have rarely given him credit for what he has done and can do. It's the lack of an accurate representation of Bryce and our situation and the development of players. 2021 - It was Derrick Brown's 2nd year, week 11.  He was benched.  Calls to trade him.  He sucks.  The Panthers are cursed.  Fast forward a few years and he has developed into one of the best players on the team and a Captain.   I don't know if Bryce will spiral and completely bust or if it's just a rocky road to stardom like so many players before him.  We have very little to lose and everything to gain by staying the course right now.  
    • Sure let’s do better. I want a bad ass defensive guy. Vrabel would have made me happy.  Finesse teams do offense. And we are damned sure trying to do finesse. Can’t even do that right, we have nothing going.
