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.

      They also didn't mind it last year during four nations, or when they beat the fins lol. Sour grapes, they had 3 pf the top four players in the world on the ice when we beat them.

      Mike Kaye: LB Devin Lloyd could be a realistic possibility

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      The tag for '26 is 28M. No way they tag him.  He is projected to be worth around 60M for 3 years so they could still try to sign him on an extension for about that amount: JagsWire   As someone else mentioned, the tag average factors in outside linebackers, aka, edge rushers, in the line backer formula.  If they would distinguish between olb and ilb, the ilb would get a lot less.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      He didn't actually make the playoffs. We had several opportunities to clinch on our own and crapped the bed. We had to wait for Atlanta to win to get us in. We had the tie breaker in a poo division that had 3 teams finish 8-9.  If you go back and look at the games we played, we weren't a dominant offensive team under him as an OC. We beat the Jets 13-7 and barely beat the packers after they failed to convert multiple red zone trips. We relied heavily on converting 4th downs. DC was also extremely slow at recognizing trends in game and was really lacking with clock management.  Was there progress this year? Yes. But most of it was on the defensive side of the ball. Our offense was stagnant with a couple of exceptions. Any improvement from Bryce was minimal and he kept insisting on XL over Coker, and even RB distribution instead of going with the hot hand.  He may be building something, but I don't think we've seen enough to know what that is. It could go either direction. If he insists on being OC, then without a noticeable improvement, yes he needs to be on the hot seat like any OC would. The more jobs you take on the more you have to be judged on. I think he would have a longer leash if he hired a true OC and just focused in being HC.
