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.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By strato · Posted

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
