Meaningless game and with this lineup of taxi squaders not surprising.

Gotta disagree. End the season on a 3-game losing streak, 2 of those against your 1st round match up. Not to mention letting them kick your ass all over the ice.

Canes may go out in the 1st round the way they approached their last 3 games.

There are a multitude of examples not just in the NHL but throughout professional sports that this simply isn't true, for all the talk of "momentum" Score first game one and that's it for it.

Momentum is a real thing in sports. It can make a difference if teams are on the same level, talent and coaching wise. Not the case here. 

I'm not gonna worry about Nashville until they win a game that matters. They did not beat us once this season until we had nothing left to play for.

That's also my point, I don't think this gives them "real" momentum half of the guys on the ice are d leaguers and we had little to play for to begin with.

Look at you guys getting testy when someone dares to disagree.

It's not even just the taxi squad guys. We've had to play without star players all season long. They still couldn't beat us.

I'm not testy at all man. That's why I offered a friendly bet. 

I get why you want to see more fire out of the guys, I do too. I'm just not worried about it, yet. 

Now, Mraz is starting to worry me a bit. He might not have the best defense in front of him right now, but we all know how streaky he can be.

Factual but we also didn't have to play without more than 2 stars missing at any given time. Its fair to say that 5 legit stars are out tonight, In a game that we had little motivation to win to begin with. I digress, I will be back for game one irrelevant games aren't going to get me upset.

Just shows how little negativity there has been on this board all season. It's been really cool having a little cove of the internet without all the typical pettiness.

I've thought about making a thread on the main board to celebrate the Canes' historic season, but stopped myself each time.

I didn't want to ruin our paradise.

Count me as one that doesn't like going into the playoffs(in any sport) on a slide. I also don't like not attempting to win when we won't be playing for another week or more. 

I just.......not a fan of this move at all.

It's definitely not ideal. And, leaves an ugly taste behind on an otherwise amazing season.

Whether Rod planned to try to stay as healthy as possible or not, you can bet he's not happy with the effort these past 2 games. If you are in the game, play like it.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
