Seriously, take away the unforced turnovers, Nashville is just taking advantage of us trying to play their game again. We're not going to beat and bang them to death. We won't win doing it. Keep skating and passing around and start shooting. Constantly one too many passes that lead to turnovers because they collapse the slot.

And I feel like that's mostly because Lorentz is 0-50.

 

Lorentz is the biggest head scratcher for me on this team. What does he do, exactly? Like he's good defensively and good at digging out pucks...but I know a few guys I've played with in pick up at Indian Trail that would produce more.

As someone who has watched every minute of Canes hockey this season I actually don't like it we out hit a team...

He's a 4th line backup, he wouldn't be playing if Paquette was healthy. He's a grinder who can dig pucks out and occasionally make a decent assist, he has no shot whatsoever and is terrible in the face off circle.

He brings the good snacks on road trips. No Great Value Sandwich Cookies in his bag...

Not really. Most of this is self inflicted. Only area we're getting dominated is the faceoff circle.

The puck was in our defensive zone most of the 2nd period... Honestly the worst period I have seen us play so far in this series. We are lucky to only be down 1 and sadly were a post away from being tied

I love physical hockey...but that ain't us right now. We grind boards, we don't try to muscle plays unless we're talking Svech.

Again, self inflicted. We're just being careless. Hopefully Rod is chewing asses at intermission.

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      I saw an interesting point the other day about our type of situation.  It could have been wise to hold him off for 1-2 weeks, but that would not have anything to do with Bryce and you could easily communicate that from a PR standpoint.   Why? Well, we just brought an entirely new staff into town, new offense for the returning OL, and had wholesale turnover elsewhere.  So just run Dalton out there the first game or so to see how things are shaking out.  Dry run to make sure we won't kill the kid.  We weren't eyeing the SB.  Get a sense of the line, the receivers, the playbook.  It gives you a glimpse of what Bryce would be stepping into and a good barometer on where things stood sans him.  I suppose we sort of did that with Dalton, but that was a reactive switch and like @Ricky Spanish mentioned, it was against an injured SEA defense where we threw a ridiculous amount.  Who knows, maybe we could have at least won a game or two more that way.  You can adjustments prior to Bryce stepping in, better tee it up for him, and maybe we end up winning game 1 or 2. Last year was such a sh*tshow.  One of the worst seasons I've ever experienced in any sport for any team.  Absolutely nothing made sense together.  Happy we cut the cord early, but should have never hired that crew in the first place.

      Johnson is gonna want $20M+ next year. That's why they should have drafted Ladd.

      It's like folk didn't even watch the game. Dalton took a beating, and barely avoided a lot more violent hits. No 35 years old QB is going to survive a season like that. Imagine him against Dallas or Houston or Indy or Detroit or New Orleans twice! He played better than Bryce in that 1 game, but he wouldn't have lasted half the season.
