This series is over if DH isn't a lazy dumb player.

I don't think Dougie is trying to be a "lazy dumb player," but he definitely is making mistakes.

He isn't the same Dougie from last year before he got hurt, he doesn't seem to be as fast.  Pair that with the fact that he usually plays with Slavin and I have to think he is just out of sorts.

I also wonder if he hasn't started thinking about his future already....I mean he is a UFA and has not been extended.  Maybe he it hasn't crossed his mind, but I wouldn't be too sure.

Dougie is the same Dougie he's always been Slavin is usually just there to cover his ass.

Ya... Dougie is worth about 3.5 right now. Not 7/7.5/8.

He may need a change of scenery after this season. Slavin should get half his paycheck.

It also seems to me that the guys have forgotten that you don't shoot the puck right at the goalie's chest. 

Yesterday, at times, reminded me of the Canes circa 2010-2017.....puck right into the goalie's breadbasket.

Fire 60 pucks at him and your gonna get 20ish rebound chances off that the key is having a guy there for the rebound goal, Saros has been great this season almost every goal we have on him is blocker side high....  Scoring hasn't been the problem IMO it's the ridiculous amount of grade A's we have given up on our end.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
