Since there has been playoff threads for the Canes the past few years up here and football news is on a lull...

Central Division Champion Carolina Hurricanes playing fourth seed but red hot Nashville Predators. Canes could be down their top true defense but are otherwise most healthy. Expect a physical and chippy game from Nashville to start the series. Canes will most likely be starting our rookie goaltender, Alex Nedeljkovic, you may know from the Checkers. Both teams have had a week off due to COVID-19 scheduling and will be fresh. More info can be found in the articles linked in the thread below. Suffice to say the Canes are the strongest team they've been since they won the Cup 15 years ago.

With the addition of nearly triple the usual fans this season up to nearly 65% capacity tonight should be a rocking game and series.

Puck drop in about an hour(CNBC or Bally Sports South on cable).

Take Warning. Lets go get the Cup Canes!

Nashville, Music City, home of the Predators.

What a shithole!

Halfway between Dollywood and Rib Country, we have the city where everyone dresses like Toby Keith vomited his wardrobe across an entire region. Fake ass hillbillies all think they are the next Taylor Swift. The home of country music that wouldn't know country if it slapped them with a catfish.

It is such a boring art town they couldn't even think of a specific scary animal to name their team after, just some random predator.

Juicy and the boys might be riding high after beating our taxi squad when we had nothing to play for. But, they are about to experience a storm surge their inland asses will never recover from. Hope yall stocked up on extra lives.

And if they think they are gonna bring that Tennessee ass hockey team down to the City of Oaks and leave happy, they might be dumber than I thought. Stuffing a live catfish down your pants dumb. That is the type of asinine poo a Hollywood writer would come up with to cosplay as Appalachian.

Try as you might Nashville,

      Tbf Darnolds last few games here were on par for "good Darnold." Some good decisions and some bad. He had extended success with the Vikings but he still had plenty of poor decisions. Still better than anything we have here. I've always been a Darnold fan and I hope that he finds continued success as a veteran.

      I honestly hope he figures it out, but at this point we have little reason to think that he will. He's been even worse than he was as a rookie, which is tough to do. I see no reason he shouldn't be bumped down the depth chart once Coker is back. Jalen is the better player and it's not even remotely close right now. That would if nothing else allow XL to be moved around to where he's in the best position to contribute instead of forcing him into a role he's clearly not ready for and may never be ready for.

      I think a lot of this stems from how well some of our FA acquisitions / trades played after leaving us. But there's a lot of important caveats there, and I think in Mayfield's case he needed to hit rock bottom (yes, we are rock bottom) to bounce back. He seems much less arrogant in TB. Darnold was, for Darnold, playing well here when we moved on from him too.  I think you are right. I also think we can't wait another 3 years to see if the offense turns around. XL needs to start his turn around this year. And Bryce needs to at least return to how he played the last half of his 2nd year.  Or, imo, we move on from both.
