Where do I start?

Look, I should have known it was going to be a bad night when we get to PNC (they're not charging for parking, by the way) and you can park wherever you like. That may sound like a good thing, but since when is tailgating a criminal offense at PNC? The side-by-side cops out in full force telling us we have to eat inside our vehicles, you cannot stand outside, in a parking space, next to your vehicle, with your wife, while eating a sandwich and drinking a beer. WTF.

The pre-game Stall tribute was very well done and Jordo was treated right. Those 10 minutes were as good as the Canes looked all night. Maybe they should have all left their #11 Staal sweaters on all night.

They were fugging terrible. Missing passes, overskating the puck, turnovers, you name it. As much as I think Jacob Slavin is a very underrated defenseman, although he was an all-star, he got torched last night.

Oh, and I had to explain the Geekie penalty for "shooting the stick" to a few people, too.

I'll focus on what few positives there were, rather than list the no-shows. The guys who worked hard all game, were grinding it to the end last night, and not always in the camera shot: Fast, Foegele, Martinook, Aho, Pacquette. They skated and worked hard all night long while it looked as though a few others took the night off.

Mini-crowds suck. I don't care what it sounds like on TV, you could hear a pin drop the entire game. There is no electricity in the crowd, no fire. I sat thru the first 17 seasons of Carolina Panthers football and I've been in PNC for many Canes games and the crowd last night reminded me of the Carolina Panthers 2001 season when they went 1-15.

My wife and I have both received our vaccinations and it had been 427 days since our last Canes game in person. I can say without hesitation that we will not return this season for another game- I'd rather stay home and watch. When it's safe to fill PNC, we'll return.

How will we know it's him in the crowd?

@Anybodyhome did you wear your official Hurricanes Huddle uniform?

But, did you wear it?

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
