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 tukafan21 · Posted

      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.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
