Starting The Second Half Busy: The Canes begin the "second half" of their regular season schedule with a stretch of four road games in six days. After tonight in Toronto the team will continue on for a meeting in Ottawa tomorrow, Boston Thursday and then Minnesota Saturday. It's the beginning of 40 games in 80 days for the team, leading to the end of the campaign.

Let's Pick Up Where We Left Off: Carolina entered the break after earning four wins in six days. The team is 7-1 in their last eight outings.

Just Fine Away From Home: Rod Brind'Amour's club is 15-5-1 away from PNC Arena this season, matching the New York Rangers for the most wins on the road among any team in the NHL this season.

Maple Syrup For Neci: In three career games against the Maple Leafs, Hurricanes forward Martin Necas has recorded six points.

Kotkaniemi Out: Sunday afternoon the team announced that forward Jesperi Kotkaniemi has entered COVID-19 Protocol, rendering him out of commission for at least the team's games tonight and tomorrow. It will be the first games missed of the season for the 21-year-old center, who totaled 20 points in the club's first 42 games.

Tervainen TBD: Following practice Sunday afternoon Rod Brind'Amour said that Teuvo Teravainen could be a game-time decision tonight, still battling the lower-body injury he suffered on January 21. "Turbo" participated in practice at Wake Competition Center, but that doesn't necessarily mean he is for sure in tonight.

Milestone Watch: Antti Raanta is one win shy of 100 in his NHL career. Derek Stepan is two points shy of 500 for his NHL career.

Forwards:

Martinook - Aho - Necas

Svechnikov - Trocheck - Jarvis

Niederreiter - Staal - Fast

Lorentz - Stepan - Teravainen*

Defensemen:

Slavin - DeAngelo

Skjei - Pesce

Smith - Cole

Starting Goalie:

Andersen

COVID-19 Protocol:

Jesperi Kotkaniemi

      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.
