His defense was fine but he was slow on those passes and rebounds later in the game.

Liability is probably an overreaction. He just doesn't look like the Dougie we've come to know. His offense was a huge part off his game. I don't know if he's not seeing things as well or if he's not as confident in his shot anymore.

Offense is his game...based solely on defense he's a bottom pairing d man.

We need to put Fleury and Gardiner back together tomorrow. The biggest liability from the back line I see is Bean right now. He'll get there but TB isn't the team to do it on. Not saying Bean is bad either but he's been making critical mistakes the past two games and not really adjusting.

First game I didn’t get to watch all year.  I guess this loss is on me?  Give me all the poop emojis you want...apparently I, and the team, deserve them after this stinker! 💩

I didn't see the game, either. I heard the term "lackluster performance" more than once later last night when I got to check some scores.

The team is tired right now while TB was off for 4 days before starting this series last week. TB will probably put Vas the Vaj back in net because this is a crucial series and even a tired Vas is better than either of Carolina's rested goalies.

We don't even get two days off in a row until next Friday either and still have 4 more road games to get through + 1 more back to back against two different teams with no travel day.

I expect Vas as well. No idea why the Canes commentators are expecting the alt goalie.

Here is the projected lineup for the Hurricanes.

Forwards

Svechnikov-Aho-McGinn
Niederreiter-Trocheck-Necas
Foegele-Staal-Fast
Paquette-Lorentz-Martinook

Defensemen

Slavin-Hamilton
Skjei-Pesce
Gardiner-Bean

Goalies

Reimer
Nedeljkovic

Scratch: Fleury

 

Still don't get why everyone is hot on bean after the last two games. Should be Gardiner and Fleury. Curious if Rod blends the lines a little more or goes back to this basic setup tonight. Also really wish we had TT at this point. Don't exactly know NHL concussion rules but we likely could be down him until at least next Thursday if he doesn't travel separate of the team.

      An analysis of Brooks from The Fantasy Footballers provides possible insight as to why he's worth the price paid

      By TD alt · Posted

      Sometimes you get very valuable information from fantasy football sites. I found an analysis that you may want to read from The Fantasy Footballers. Perhaps you'll gain an insight as to why we moved up and got him. As always, here are a few snippets: "As expected, he dominated in the 2023 season. He averaged an impressive 2.03 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play, which ranks in the 86th percentile among all junior seasons since 2013." "Naturally, after initially playing behind two NFL-caliber running backs, Brooks’ career numbers do not jump off the page. However, his 2023 campaign gave us a glimpse of just how massive his upside could be at the next level. In fact, Brooks is one of only TWO running backs in this class to exceed 2.00 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play within their first three seasons in college."  "If you watch Jonathon Brooks’ film, you will find multiple plays in which he created yardage with his quick feet and lateral agility. He is elusive in open spaces and has an impressive ability to stack multiple cuts to avoid contact. Combined with his impressive burst and acceleration, Brooks can be a matchup nightmare in the second and third levels of the defense." "While Brooks is not the most physical running back, he does have a knack for absorbing contact and bouncing off defenders. You see this time and time again in his film." "He showcased a willingness to initiate contact with the pass rusher, the strength to maintain blocks, and the quickness to adjust to the defender’s moves. In addition, per PFF, Brooks was a top-three running back in the 2024 class in pass-blocking grade last season. He was also one of only two running backs in the class to average a 0% pass block pressure rate, highlighting just how effective he was as a blocker." "In short, Brooks has tremendous upside as a prospect. Even with his ACL injury, I would still be comfortable drafting him in the early second round of rookie drafts. In fact, I would not be shocked if he finished his career as the most productive running back in this class. However, we just need to temper our expectations for his rookie year as he slowly ramps up to full health." Marvin Elequin provides more here (including video clips): https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/dynasty/2024-rookie-profile-rb-jonathon-brooks-fantasy-football/   Basically, Brooks has the potential to be a beast, and was well worth the 46th pick (and most mocks had him going mid second round anyway). He's not JAG. Someone had to make the move and take him, and we were the ones to do it. He's elusive, has good speed and acceleration, exceptional contact balance, and is an outstanding blocker. Just like any nice RB transitioning to the league, he will need to get used to taking what the defense gives him, while also showing discriminating patience, but he has demonstrated some ability on that front in college. Brooks' only real knock is the ACL. But ACLs aren't career ending anymore, or even skill ending as evidenced by Dalvin Cook, Todd Gurley and others. We'll just need to temper our expectations during his rookie campaign while he gets back to form. Once he does, we'll finally have the talented three-down back that has eluded us since Stew retired.

      2024 Who would you have picked

      By R0CKnR0LLA · Posted

      2.43 : Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon 2.52 : Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 3.65 : Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 3.79 : Blake Corum, RB, Michigan 4.101 : Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas 😎 5.141 : Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia 5.142 : Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas 5.155 : Christian Jones, OT, Texas Note, I traded down from 33 (took the Arizona/Atlanta trade up to 35 - might have actually been able to net an even better deal but whatever, I'll go with this). Took the Rams trade but stayed put at 52 and at the top of the 3rd.
