Well guys. This team is absolute ass tonight. The absolute worst they have played all year. 

By far not the worst we’ve played. We’ve played worse on some wins this season. We aren’t getting any bounces and Bear has gotten caught with his pants down too many times. 
 

Refs obviously are not calling a fair game. I’m assume there was some back room poo from us on the whole Philly debacle the league didn’t like. Philly used Covid as an excuse not to play us, after we were already in the air there. They already had the boards down for the basketball game.

Oh well, we’ll bounce back Saturday. 
 

Not impressed with our new backup goal though. Probably first game jitters and our defense being poo but his positioning was not great he hardly squared up to anyone, though his low game was ok. I still think we should have rode Lyon until either Raanta is “better” or is offloaded.

This is how a real coach talks. 

With that too. I said it last night and I’ll say it again, we gotta switch Bear and TDA. Bear is just out of position too often against offenses that cheat up in the neutral zone. Smith is too slow to recover if he’s down ice a little bit. TDA would solve both those problems and Skjei can single high position better.

It's nice to have offensive contributions from the blue line, but Skjei's recent streak, TDA having success and Bear finally getting a goal, these guys are simply jumping into the zone too often and too soon. Quick outlet passes and stretch passes are killing these guys. Let's get real, this was the same Columbus team they saw a couple weeks ago, they didn't play any different, yet look at the end result.

Agreed, only this wasn't the same Canes team that fought back and won that game. 

We didn't play well and we hung our goalies out to dry way tooooo much.  I feel bad for Freddie and LaFontaine.

Again, 3 games in 3 weeks. I don't care how much you practice, it doesn't make up for the real thing. They'll probably skate later today and tomorrow morning. Let's hope they start to get their rhythm back. They have a tough stretch of games coming and can't be sleepwalking thru them. 

They’ll skate today. Tomorrow is a 1PM game.

That's not so good either. Last I checked, the Canes are slower than usual out of the gate for day games.

Ya I’m pretty perturbed the NHL didn’t make Philly play. They had a full lineup serviceable even with the 4 people they lost to the protocol that afternoon, according to the Philly GM. I still think there was some shifty business going on there, either with the NHL or the arena.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Yeah they were bad QBs - but QB's that stayed on their teams for several years.  BY is better than all of those.

      This is the right move even if you think Bryce isn't the future. Everything except signing him to a long term deal until proven otherwise. There's a decent chance we have a shot to draft a QB next year that we like.

      If we're still bad enough that Canales gets fired, especially if it's during the season, there is no way we could ever attract any HC worthy of the job if we told them they had to keep Bryce their first year. That would be 2 coaches he's gotten fired and 4 years of not performing up to par. I still say replace both of them next offseason.  I like Canales the man and I think he's done an absolutely outstanding job at fixing our locker room issues, as it was really bad before he showed up.  But I just don't see it from him with his in game decision making, I think he's held us back just as much as Bryce has, just in different ways. Canales was our Dan Campbell, the coach you hire to turn the franchises culture around for the HC after them to inherit and take to the next level.   The difference was he had some elite coordinators early on and really let him focus on his "leader of men" role as opposed to the X's and O's that Canales does himself and it's turned out well for him.
