Let's drag this out 6 or 7 games to get the playoff reps. That should be the goal now.

Still a young team.

When you look at a veteran team like Boston, the game is never over with them. You can see how confident they are that they’re never out of any game. Now you look at the body language of the Hurricanes right now and they look like they’re frustrated and pressing. They need better goal scorers plain and simple.

And during the regular season we were that team. We just need to learn that during the playoffs there is a different level.

I don't know why the NHL just didn't make it a best of 7 series between the Avalanche and Lightning from the start and save the time of these meaningless series. The talent level of Colorado and Tampa is just vastly superior to everyone else.

Boston and NYI are both very good teams that could definitely beat Tampa.

They need to sign some veteran FAs who have been there and done that. You look at all the contenders and they have a few older guys gunning for a last chance at the cup. Carolina has none of that. Corey Perry would have been a good signing.

    • If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.
    • Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
    • it's not so much this personal vendetta against the Carolina Panthers as it is more about Bryce Young never not once been in the same conversation with the top 15 or even top 20 Qbs in the NFL ..just saying
