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.

    • He is also a player that has that "lock room cancer" tag.  We don't see much of the full picture, but I try to stay far away from that type of player. He is historically not good at losing, and we tend to do that a good bit. Not a good fit in my opinion.  I respect the skill, though.
    • I honestly can't think of a teams first line basically telling the coach to fug off like last night's line of Aho, Jarvis and Svechnikov did to Rod. 
    • Do you even know what the term "below average" means? Because I'm genuinely not sure if you do. There are 32 QB's in the league, which means to be playing "above average" he'd have to be the 15th best QB at the league, and even then, that's in essence the "average NFL QB" still. Even going by these rankings, which have him 20th, that by itself is the definition of "below average", and that's before you consider there are multiple QB's ranked below him in this list that I'd 100% trade him for in a heartbeat. Again, no matter what you think the eye test tells you, he's made 28 starts and has a grand total of FOUR games over 247 yards.  Drake Maye has made 10 starts, all with a significantly worse group of pass catchers than Bryce has had, and he already has 3 games over that number himself. I don't need to see or know anything else beyond that to determine he is a below average QB in this league so far and I don't know how anyone can honestly argue against that.  If he was a Lamar Jackson type putting up 75+ yards rushing on a consistent basis, then you can look at those passing yards differently, but that's not the case here. Could he still improve and get to average or better?  Of course. But you're trying to extrapolate a few throws/drives/moments from a handful of games and trying to say that makes him even an average, if not above average, QB in this league.  Which is just nonsense when the players you're comparing him to have played at that level for full seasons or their entire careers.
