If the Canes can win one of the next 2, Slavin can take the rest of the series off and hopefully be ready for the next round.

LaJoie a -25 in one season? Sheesh.... but I, for one, am not a big fan of this stat as it really doesn't take into account a lot of "what if's."

I have a feeling the hardest push we see from Nashville will be tonight, If we win tonight I think we finish them off in four.

3 straight for Ned? I’m here for it until he proves otherwise.

I’m down with it. It’s the playoffs now. Plus the last time we tried to have him go three in a row 2 two were back to back. I think win or lose we may see Mrazek tomorrow.

Ya, with the fans there tonight and their grasp on the series slipping fast we are going to have to play fast and hard tonight. Use their chippiness against them. 
 

The last time we were there we weren’t playing at 100% for sure and not even close the following game. Now we have 2/3 of our real fourth line back which so far as frustrated their “Herd” line to all hell. It’ll be interesting to see how they match up now though since they have last change. 
 

Score early and keep pounding the Fug out of them with legit hits are going to be our keys, once we get into the second period start playing our grind game and don’t let up.

On the bright side Lajoie looked fine. I still think if Slavin is a go we bench Bean for him for a game or two. But in that scenario I expect it to be Skjei. I don’t know who we’d put in to replace Pesce though. We don’t have another righty I don’t think.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
