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.

    • I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
    • there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.   
    • In 6 games, we've only had 6 hurries??? ... that can't be accurate
