Night and day between Panther and Canes home games

Winning does that.  It was pretty electric during the last super bowl run.  However there have been 4 straight miserable seasons for the panthers. 

I'll admit I've been to most of our games and its hard to be excited given the teams we have fielded.

No doubt, the canes are exciting right now.  I hope they have a good run in the playoffs.

I used to live in Raleigh and still went to canes games when we were going through our purge…. It was not electric, and they were giving out free beer vouchers at the time. 
 

it’s the just way of sports. Winning teams have fans in the stands, losing teams don’t.  It’s not a specific team problem. It’s just sports expectations.

I was at the car/seachickens playoff game and the 2015 nfc championship game and I will say the atmosphere was great.

I think the close confines of PNC arena make the difference. Little more up close and personal. Plus hockey is essentially non stop action. Tension builds until goals/big hits etc. Great time to be a Canes fan!! Let's go canes!

Hopefully soon we'll begin to have that "winning culture" Tepper talks about with the Panthers as well!

The hurricanes are a good team that compete for championships in a town that really has nothing else to do - The panthers are a terrible organization with no direction and no reason to be optimistic about the future and play in young city with ten thousand better things to do

Agreed on the Seattle game.  When Luke scored on the pick 6 after the offense had just scored was about as loud as I can remember a game being.  I know I was losing my mind.

I'm definitely a bandwagon hockey fan...I watch the playoffs when the canes play but don't watch the regular season.  Playoff hockey is intense and definitely fun to watch.

    • This is a good take it really is to the point dc needs to let the world see the real byoung b/c right now everyone in the media and tepper has had blinders on when it comes to young.  Its hard to even know where the panthers are at skill player wise with such horrible qb play.  I doubt it but legette may be a probowl wr he just cant throw the ball and catch it.  I am just so sick of every excuse in the book for byoung.  LIstened to a podcast and the guy was going over how many different options byoung had on the int and all of them were ok except for the one where he threw an int.  He said the play could be run by a hs qb and they would typically make a good decision. 
    • I certainly have my complaints about Canales but I'm not ready to fire him yet for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, Tepper has made this one of the least appealing jobs in the league. Morgan and Canales are here to begin with in large part because guys higher on the wish list take other jobs. If you fire Canales you're gonna end up replacing him with another third tier candidate who wasn't being seriously considered by other teams with openings. That's just the reality of the situation right now as far as I can tell. Secondly, despite plenty of room for critique, we are 6-6 despite the worst QB play in the league. That's really damn hard to pull off in the modern NFL. Especially when your D isn't dominant. Our D is greatly improved but is still a slightly below average overall defense ranking 18th in yards per game allowed and 20th in points allowed. Going 6-6 with atrocious QB play and slightly below average defensive play is pretty damn impressive. Even more impressive when you also factor in that we're in the red on turnovers differential at -3. When you combine league worst QB play with slightly below average D and negative turnover differential honestly you'd expect to be in play for the #1 overall pick, not 6-6 and having just played a game that a win would have you leading the division. So yeah, even though I'm far from sold I advocate for patience with Canales for the time being. If you ask me if I'm bringing him back next year, I'm a yes barring a catastrophic meltdown down the stretch which admittedly is very much a possibility.
