This team plays with more confidence when Ned is in the net.

Tampa is trying a completely new tactic too trying to cycle our guys. Something we are really good defending against. Just gotta keep our head on our man and make them wear themselves our skating circles.

Good on Aho for going after Stamkos there. Stamkos knew where there boards were when he went for that cross check. Luckily, nothing came of it. 

The announcers said the refs were discussing penalties. Did anything ever come of that?

Mrazek should've never been in net and even worse should've been pulled when it was tied.

Nah Mraz needed to be in for game 3. I think Ned was at his breaking point. Should we have gone back to Ned in 4, only in hindsight. Ned has had a week off and it’s showing tonight. His movements are crisp, crisp to the point he’s second guessing himself and still being able to physically recover. So either Mraz should have shut down the last game or Ned should have won one of the first two at home. But it wasn’t really his fault. We should have started with Mraz at home or put him in game two. Over using Ned is the issue of this series goalie-wise.

Ned is basically a rookie and will learn how to limit himself. But all that extra skating puck movement he does also wares on him. Not criticizing him, it’s just something he’ll have to work on going forward to make sure he’s stellar mentally and physically.

IDK I synced up 99.9 instead of listening to the national announcers again. They haven't mentioned any penalties yet.

Ned has let in 4 goals...... Mrazek let in four in one period.

    • I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.  
    • Thank god BigKat can't buy it because I'd be gone immediately 
    • Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
