I just hope rhule doesn't fk it up.

Best thing he can do is just sit back and keep his mouth shut and let the rest of the coaches coach. 

Of course i'll say Snow should do the same. Just stay quiet and out of the way.

I didn't come in expecting that we'd be able to do much, but considering what we've done, I'm pleased. To be honest, we could've called it a day last night and I'd have been smiling. I didn't think we'd get Ickey, and I thought we'd have to trade someone (mainly CMC) to put us in position to get Corral on day 2. I wanted Fitt and company to do the right thing and have some discipline even though it was frustrating--tough--to be sitting on our hands and waiting. As far as today, I said it last night, it's all about upside. That includes not only the draftees, but the UDFAs. 

Fitterer is a draft wizard. He knows what he's doing. Accept it and embrace it.

I loved this draft.  If you told me before the draft that we would get Ikem and Corral without giving away a player or sacrificing next years 1st or 2nd, I would have not believed you.  Ikem alone is worth this draft.

I also like the setup in a make-or-break year for Rhule.  The QB was a 3rd rounder, so taking one high next year won't be some huge issue with moving on/keeping as a backup if we eye Stroud/Young/Levis/McCall...whoeever

The line has finally been addressed, and early.  And this is not an Otah situation.  

Our 4th rounder is a pretty big boom-bust, the rest strong developmental types.

Unsure if Darnold or another vet will take the field first but we'll be seeing Corral this year and hey, maybe we found ourselves a mid-round steal.  Never know.

      So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.

      My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
