Jarvis is gonna be something special. Wait until he has a few year under his belt and a few more pounds. With Aho locked up for 5(I think) more and svech for 6 more our top line is going to become the most vaunted top line in the NHL. That double screen on the first goal was insanely good and that tip for Jarvis to find the 5 hole was incredible.

There’s certainly questions as to if Raanta Clause can do this all series but at least for game one I’ll eat all my crow, and it tasted damn good.

Koochie Mama needs to stay ready though, things can turn 180 in a hurry in the playoffs… just ask Edmonton… they still think they’d have won the cup in 06 if their goalie didn’t get hurt.

Did anyone else notice Willis pulling some Tripp idioms last night?

I’m not in market so I had to watch the ESPN cast but I did watch the highlights on NHL.com and they used the Canes broadcast and I noticed a few, I also noticed The Big Rig using Forslund’s old “Merccccyyy” after Raanta made a great save.

I think that’s it right there. I certainly have been critical for raanta throughout the year. He’s looked great in some spots and not so great in other spots. Last night he looked all world. We can get that kind of play or something close to it every night will be completely fine.

Bingo. He played solid last night, no doubt. But again, he has to do it all Series which many of us have our doubts he can.

Willis was all about the Tripp crowd favorite phrases beside the “everyone’s a canes fan” shtick Tripp does. They were subtle but you could tell he’s really trying his hardest. For someone who arguably probably has a bigger drug/alcohol problem than Tripp. I’ll give him credit for last night. Also as you put it, the big rig, was really really good last night seems to be upping his game so to speak.

    • 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.
    • 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. 
    • 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.
