Stanley Cup Playoffs: Carolina Hurricanes Game Thread

Recommended Posts

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,

    • This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY. 
    • The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.
    • I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
