This roster seems devoid of men who know this legacy and the impact of this man, and I hope discussion may help change that

Sam Mills could’ve been at home taking care of himself, not working 15 hour work days for that familiar Panther logo.

but it meant that much to him. 

get up in this thread and spend some time thinking on the man who truly Kept Pounding on the day he finally gets what he earned.

“Delhomme’s most poignant memory of Mills came earlier that season, a few days after a loss to Dallas. Delhomme recalled feeling sore, sluggish and uncharacteristically sorry for himself as he walked to practice. Then Mills jogged past, slapped Delhomme on the back side and said, "Let’s go get better."

Delhomme refers to that moment as an awakening in which he told himself: "You need to grow up and try to be just a tenth of this guy."

"Everybody knew he was dying," Delhomme continued. "He was doing chemo. And he’s running out to practice ... and he’s going to coach his ass off."

That's amazing.

I was traveling for the actual induction but was able to see the replay on AFN today.

I think they did a great job of mixing both New Orleans and Carolina videos.  As a player he was with New Orleans longer and a part of one of the best linebacking Corps in NFL history.  However, overall Sam spent more time with Carolina as a player/coach.  So the mix was good.   I glad they mentioned the mantra several times because it is a part of Carolina as much as the Washington fight song or J.E.T.S Jets Jets Jets is for NY.  

I was happy to see him make it.  We'll have a few more soon in SS Sr and JP and Luke.

      Btw... only Mitch fugging Marner has a better +/- than Key 🔑!!! And, Mitchy needed 5 more games and almost 100 more shifts to get there.

      I was honestly flabbergasted to see Rod send out Stanky and the boys to to matchup against their top line to start the game. The reason that line has been so effective is because they've been matched mostly against 2nd and 3rd lines all year. You've got last change. Use it to your advantage.

      Nobody played well on defense last night. But, the vitriol towards Chatfield (and to a lesser extent, K'andre) is bigly misplaced. People (not just you) just refuse to accept how bad Slavin has been this season. And, I get it. Canes fans (and informed analysts) have spent nearly a decade trying to explain to casuals just how good Jaccccob is at hockey. 4Nations happened and the hockey watching public started to listen. National media even started floating the idea of creating a new award in his honor. Then this season, he gets hurt. It happens. NBD. But, when he finally came back, it wasn't the same. He'll get back to his old self in no time. Probably just some rust, it'll be fine. Only, it wasnt rust, and he's not fine. He's bad right now. It wasnt just last night. Although, that was absolutely the worst game of his NHL career. Slavin (-4) currently has the 3rd worst +/- of anyone left in the playoffs. We've  been begging the world to recognize Jaccob Slavin's greatness. And, by the time we finally got people to listen, he shits the bed! I blame Kash!
