This Calgary/Edmonton game is fuging insane.

This is why I love our Canes, Calgary has gone completely outside their system to score and this is what you get..... Edmonton  an score but have holes all over their roster.

 

It's funny that all of the Canadian teams who made the playoffs were always all offense or one that stopped playing system hockey to run up a score.

I mean, it's fun to watch as long as your team isn't getting shelled like that.

It’s fun… but you can never make the NHL into a score fest. Then it’s just boring in the playoffs. Hockey in the playoffs should be 0-0, 1-1 2-2.

To anyone complaining about our game last night go back and watch the Lightnings games during the past two years they won two cups playing 2-1, 3-2 and 1-0 games that's the reality of the NHL playoffs.... Teams that have lots of guys with tons of points and goals are rush based offensive teams.... They almost never succeed in the playoffs.

Eh....IDC about the amount of goals scored, just if the games are good. I also don't want to see any good Hurricanes games. I will take as many comfortable 3+ goal victories as possible.

Issue with Florida is they aren’t getting any depth scoring right now, they are a one line team.

The only line that is producing is Verhaeghe - Barkov - Giroux.

Additionally, they only have four guys with five plus points in the postseason (the lowest total out of the remaining playoff teams). Essentially, if you shut down the line above and don’t let Ekblad get shots from the point then you don’t have much to worry about.

Guys like Huberdeau, Reinhart, Duclair, and Bennett have gone MIA.

They were able to sneak by Washington because Washington’s goaltending is average.

I’d dare say that if they don’t get secondary scoring then they would lose a series to both Tampa and Carolina as well as New York.

This statement is quite literally the proof of concept for why I was telling people we don't need 50 goal guys or 3 3 40 goal guys... Great teams will neutralize your top line..... there are 18 skaters balance is much harder to beat in the playoffs.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean, no I’m not going to panic when he got 2 Qs and looked great in 1 and looked not great in another (let’s not mention the drop).    Yeah we finally have a team that would be considered average offensively around him. Let’s roll this season.

      The woe is me everything but Bryce sucks mantra is stale af my friend. Look nobody here is going to argue with the fact Frank Reich was not a good head coach. At the same time. Bryce Young is now in his second season with his second coaching staff and a handpicked young offensive head coach who has been known for working with QB's such as Baker and Geno. As far as the offensive pieces around Bryce we have the 4th highest salary cap allocation (that might be even higher now after the new Moton deal) dedicated to the OL in the entire league. We have 2 first round WR's one of them 8th overall the first time we've ever selected a WR that high in franchise history. And the fact of the matter is Bryce Young did not have a good preseason. It's not the first time it's happened either. We all hope to see he and the rest of the team flip a switch in week 1. But we should all be able to agree that the offensive performances we've seen from the entire QB room (Bryce included) in preseason was simply unacceptable.

      We have seen Bryce play… what… 9 games with AT BEST what one would consider NFL average WRs? You just can’t see the forest for the trees and keep going back to your lazy take of revisionist history.    he looked AWFUL Y1 with the worst coaching I’ve ever seen in the NFL and one of the weakest WR rooms I can recall. He looked awful first half of y2 and great second half of y2 with average coaching and average skill position. I don’t know where this elite talent argument even comes from.
