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,

    • awesome interview. Love the guy. 
    • all the trades and using PFFs draft rankings and Gemini's analysis: This is a high-value mock draft that effectively uses trade-down strategies to rebuild the Carolina Panthers' defensive interior and add depth to a roster with multiple holes. By turning mid-round capital into a volume of picks, you've secured several "sliding" stars and developmental high-ceiling players. Based on 2026 PFF big board trends and player value, here is the analysis: Draft Grade: A- The Top Picks: Interior Dominance  * 19. Peter Woods (DT, Clemson): Getting Woods at 19 is a steal. Heading into the 2025 season, he was viewed as a potential top-5 talent. While his production dipped slightly, his 4.75 40-yard dash at 315 lbs is elite. He provides the Panthers with a versatile disruptor who can play 3-tech or slide outside.  * 63. Dontay Corleone (DT, Cincinnati): "The Godfather" is one of the best pure nose tackles in the class. Pairing him with Woods creates an immediate identity for the Panthers' front seven. PFF loves his "unmovable" anchor. Securing him at the end of Round 2 after trading down from 51/53 is excellent value. The Mid-Round Steals  * 83. Deontae Lawson (LB, Alabama): Lawson is a high-IQ "green dot" linebacker. Many scouts projected him as a late 1st or early 2nd rounder before an ACL injury in late 2024. Getting a 2-time Alabama captain at 83 to lead the defense is a massive win for culture and stability.  * 130. Drew Allar (QB, Penn State): This is the "high-upside lottery ticket" pick. Allar has prototypical size (6'5", 240 lbs) and a massive arm. His stock fell due to a 2025 ankle injury and inconsistency, but at 130, he’s a low-risk, high-reward backup/successor to Bryce Young if the former No. 1 pick continues to struggle. Trade Analysis & Late Round Value Your strategy of "tier-dropping" (trading 51 for 53/121 and 53 for 63/95) allowed you to stay in the same talent bracket while picking up Kevin Coleman Jr. (WR) and Genesis Smith (S).  * 168. Parker Brailsford (OC, Alabama): Great value for a technical center who can compete for a depth spot.  * 169. Tacario Davis (CB, Washington): At 6'4", he is a rare physical specimen at corner. PFF and other boards often have him as a Day 2 talent; getting him in the 5th round (via the 161 trade) is arguably your best value pick of the draft. Summary of Picks | Pick | Player | Position | School | Analysis | | 19 | Peter Woods | DT | Clemson | Elite traits; Top-10 ceiling. | | 63 | Dontay Corleone | DT | Cincinnati | Best run stuffer in the class. | | 83 | Deontae Lawson | LB | Alabama | Vocal leader; sliding due to injury. | | 121 | Kevin Coleman Jr. | WR | Missouri | Speed threat to complement the room. | | 130 | Drew Allar | QB | Penn State | High-ceiling developmental passer. | | 169 | Tacario Davis | CB | Washington | Massive reach/length for a late flyer. | Final Verdict You addressed the trenches aggressively and took advantage of "injury discounts" on Lawson and Allar. The only minor critique is that the roster still feels thin at Edge (until the 211 pick), but the sheer volume of talent added to the interior DL and Secondary compensates for it.
