I swear the people who are doom and glooming while down must not have paid much attention during the season because the Hurricanes displayed this weird talent for scoring multiple goals in a very short amount of time all season long.

I did but I also paid attention to us dump trucking Nashville all year, so I expected to continue that.

Refs gonna ref.

I always thought NHL refs were pretty good because a lot of them played the game at some point. They used to pretty much let guys play and weren't factors in the outcome of the games. But, much like MLB umps, they've decided they're just as important as the game and players and have progressively gotten worse in the last few years.

And the Carolina - Nashville series isn't the only one with some bad/missed calls- I've seen a few others recently.

Yeah, it's fun to pretend like they hate the Canes. But, the truth is they are just bad league wide. I don't think it's a coincidence that the calls got way worse after review was instated. 

They don't like having their authority questioned and they will punish you for doing so. 

Maybe we need hot mics on all the refs, like body cams for cops... lol!

Only difference was they were allowed to bully us in the playoffs. That should not have been allowed.

Nashville played the regular season with 502 PIM and 62 PIM in the playoffs.

Carolina played the regular season with 402 PIM and 74 PIM in the playoffs. Basically, over a 56-game season, Carolina had 50 fewer penalties than Nashville. But, come playoff time, Carolina was tagged with 8 more penalties over 6 games than Nashville.

Pretty much why the NFL installed booth reviews and only brought the best groups for playoffs.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
