TRACKING THE STORYLINES:

Keep The Foot On The Gas: The Canes showed up in Vegas and handed the Golden Knights their first loss on home ice in over three weeks. Then they flew to Anaheim to snap the Ducks eight-game win streak. It's "all systems go" for the Metropolitan Division leaders right now, who are finding ways to win games against very good and very hot teams. The challenge for today will be to keep the same energy against the Kings.

A Better Start: Head Coach Rod Brind'Amour said both Thursday post-game and Friday at media availability that he did not like his team's start against Anaheim, despite the win. He felt as if his team gave up too many chances, but gave his team credit by saying that they got better as the game went on. Look for the Canes to come out of the gate stronger this afternoon.

Watch For The Bounce Back: Prior to dropping their two most recent contests to Washington and Winnipeg, the Kings had won seven in a row. They'll try and get back to their winning with an emphasis surely being on scoring after being shutout by the Capitals early this week.

Doing It Big: The Hurricanes 13 wins in their first 15 games is the most in team history through that margin. They also currently have the highest points percentage of any NHL club (.867). Frederik Andersen's six wins away from PNC Arena pace the league and his 10 in total are tied for tops in the NHL.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
