The Last Meeting

Jordan Staal recorded a pair of assists while Andrei Svechnikov and Vincent Trocheck each tallied their team-leading fifth goals of the season in a 3-3 regulation draw with the Chicago Blackhawks. Extra hockey was required for the third time in the Canes' last four games, and a shootout then decided the final score for the second game in a row. James Reimer turned aside all three shots he faced, while Svechnikov netted the winning goal in the third round of the shootout, marking the Canes' eighth straight shootout win.

I think the Canes are going to show better effort this game. Im looking specifically for a better performance from the covid crew. Although I will say that we may not get the W if Reimer doesn't start at goal.  Nedelkovic looked really flaky when he was needed for a stretch last year after the EBUG game against Toronto.

Also as a side note its a interesting day of games in the central division with the Preds vs Panthers and CBJ vs Dallas.

Go Canes!

Ya, I'm interested to see how Rod shakes up the lines if at all since the slow start from the COVID crew.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
