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 tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade.

      Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
