Just hope we don’t get swept this series. This isn’t Nashville.

Yeah, we lucked out getting a very bad team in Nashville game 1.

We keep playing like poo and a sweep is likely to happen. Honestly thought game 1 was a must win for us. Now its a matter of do we lose in 4 games or 6 games

Damn! Vas stood on his head 6v5. But, Staal made a stellar play to steal the faceoff and let Ned get off the ice in the first place. 

Agreed, but we are skilled enough it shouldn't take Staal having to make a great play like that for us to get it into their zone to get Ned off the ice. 

This one is on Ned, he seems to be able to shake the soft goals off so on to game 2.  If we lose both games at home we are toast.

We definitely did not play like poo tonight. We just didn't take advantage of the opportunities in the first period and Ned let in a soft goal.

Intensity is up. Just have to finish. I know once we go EN they will bang one in to win. Have we had a single 6 on 5 goal all season?

I don’t remember which game, but did have one this season. Rod pulled the goalie a little early and it paid off.  I vividly remember Tripp commenting on the pull being early.

Carolina played better today than any game in the last 2+ weeks. Shots on goal, energy, movement. They just couldn't get anything past Vas. 

Wanna be concerned about something? The power play.

Hopefully we get our act together because yes we have played good but not good enough. Nashville shouldn't have taken 5 games and now fatigue will be a factor. Need to really show up next game.

Yeah the power play is really concerning.  We were clicking most of the season, but it has been a struggle for about a month now.  I really do think we are making one pass too many on the PP.  When you've got the man advantage you gotta let em rip tater chip!

Yeah, we looked more like ourselves this game than any game against the Perdators.

Ned just had a bad moment at a crucial time and it really costs the Canes.

We have to put more than 1 up on the scoreboard though.  Vas is good...we have to be better.

Ice was a factor in that too. He second guessed himself and didn't get the proper traction to readjust to the post.

We need to practice vs Mrazek or Reimer. All of our good shot placements would have gone in vs. a smaller goalie like Ned or Saros. Its been too long since we faced something else.

Gotta get him to move, And it looks like they are still used to taking shots at a saros.... Mrazek is only a little bigger than Ned I know he isn't great but if your trying to emulate the size its got to be Reimer

      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.
