First shot = one goal, gotta keep this up. Hopefully Freddie being forced in tonight is a wake up call.

Goal 2 Staal as I post. 
 

Can’t get complacent though. Ducks ain’t much right now, gotta use it as a building block. 

Watching the Canes play lately makes me also think they are trying to avoid big time injuries like we had last season when we were already clinched.... good start tonight.

Honestly I’m seriously wondering at this point if we aren’t aiming for the #2 spot so we don’t have to play Boston or the Caps in round one.

(though we did sweep Boston, caps might have our number.)

Wouldn't surprise me, or the injury angle last season we had a number of key guys beat to crap when the playoffs started and Slavin was never at more than maybe 60% for the playoffs.... (Call me naive but he's the second most important player on the team IMO)

I feel like not that we can cap space wise we need to take the rook up and rest our goalies. They are so stupidly slow right now. If he sucks, hey, he gets some NHL action. If he’s good maybe someone needs to rest up extra long.

Happy for Staal, he struggled early and I had cancelled him thinking he was done… glad to be wrong.

I think that’s a good momentum builder, however goalie is incredibly suspect in my mind currently. Either they are playing at half speed in preparation for the playoffs or we are going to have to make a move.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
