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.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.

      If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
