Rough game, I swear it seems like any team that has trouble beating us their answer is to resort to 80's style hits knowing the refs won't call but about 1 in 6.

Also someone had to have left the damn thermostat on that ice was really bad.

Some asshole probably left a window open and let the Birdicane fly away.

That's why I like this Canes forum.

There might not be alot of us here.  But, everyone is a pretty die hard fan. 

I follow the official Facebook group and it's no wonder other NHL fans crap on them so much.... Good group of guys here on the huddle. I had never seen a hockey game in my life back in the semi finals vs the Sabres when a co worker convinced me to go to games 5 and 7....  Fell in love with and became an informed fan by the time I went to game seven vs the Oilers, Williams putting us up 3-1 was one of the best moments I've seen live in professional sports.

So, TB came out like any team that has had their butt kicked for a few games and the Canes didn't look ready for it. Before you get a chance to breath, they put 10 shots on goal.

Anyway, Vas the Vag played well and if not for an own goal and Reimer not playing Stamkos's shot very well, it's a different game. 

The refs missed some obvious calls too, on both sides, but the majority of them from TB.

We skated real sloppy and kept getting in each others way. They got a little extra physical and we didn't adjust. One of our biggest weaknesses.

I know were going to be nursing more than one injury coming off last night too. Aho took at least 3 sticks to the face, Slavin took a shot to the face. McGinn and Necas were boarded. Reimer looked like he was struggling with something later in the game, He was hunched over more than usual, and those are just the ones I noticed. TT already down too, I think its worse than they are letting on.

I like Beans fire but he didn't look pro last night either and was a puck hog at times when he didn't really have a shot. Probably time to get Gardiner back in there.

Hopefully on the bright side this is the jump start Fast needed to start producing.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
