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.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
