I hope Rod tells the boys to treat this upcoming road trip like the playoffs...no let downs, no sleepwalking.  Give it all you have and leave it on the ice.....

The Lightning may be 5-5 in their last 10, but their the defending champs and the media darlings.  I hope ESPN and the like keep taking the Canes for granted.

They won't play down to the Lightning, that I have no doubt of.

Missed the game due to work. How did Ned look? Stats indicate he was sharp.

Didn't get a lot of work in the 1st. But, he came through with some grade A saves when we needed him later in the game. 

The one goal was a little soft, and he almost let in another immediately after. It seemed like he got a bit complacent after a boring 20 minutes. 

After that he was money. Stayed at home and controlled the rebounds.

Ned was on point. He did get one or two post assists. But he played solid throughout. The soft goal that everyone is blaming bean for is really a 50/50 on Ned in my opinion. Bean fugged it up originally and didn’t make the proper pass. He was gassed coming off a penalty kill(I think or a power play) one of the two. But Ned was out of position to make the save and left a wide open glove side on net.

After the goal it took Ned a dramatic fall on a puck that snuck through to get his zen back a minute or so later and was solid there after.

Paa and Slavin did save his ass a few times but it’s good to see our defense doing their job in back to back games. 
 

Ned was challenged both up close and from the blue line a lot last night and stood firm on both.
 

Bean has almost turned into a liability since Paa joined the roster but I think it’s cause he’s trying to emulate Paa when he should just be focusing on his style and letting the big Fin play rough.

Bean wants to get on the ice cream bandwagon..... "Vanilla Bean Supreme"  😂  Give me a triple scoop!

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
