So, the phantom goal no one saw. I was sitting just a couple rows behind the Canes penalty box and could see over the shoulder of the replay officials and the suit who is in contact with the situation room. Nobody saw the puck cross the line. It was not visible from any camera angle that was definitive. The ref made the call and as soon as he announced it, the suit behind the glass jumped up and called him to come over. It was a very strange dynamic, because it appeared that the goal would not stand since there was no clear cut view that it crossed the line. The situation room, the suit behind the glass and the ref were not on the same page. Not even the other members of the officiating crew were on the same page.

That being said, the 2 goals 18 seconds apart to close the second were inexcusable. They were weak and there's no way anyone in the building thought they would go. Didn't take the league long to figure out Kochetkov: go to the net, backhand-forehand and 5-hole is open. I was downright angry at that point. But, I contained myself and recognized I was pissed like I used to get pissed at Panther games in Charlotte. 

But, the go-ahead goal and then the breakaway goal awarded when Jordan Staal didn't hook the player is when I left. 

Canes have physicality issues, and, as another thread I'll post to later, they have goalie issues, too.

On a positive note, Aho looks much better, Max is the man, and Martinook is easily the hardest working guy on the team (also mentioned by someone else in an earlier thread).

Happy with my Devils getting a win but damn.

That go-ahead goal....

...Refs missed an obvious high-stick moments before the goal there. 

 

I'll take it 'cause many times I've been on the other side of these types of calls (or non-calls as the case may be).

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By NCBlu · Posted

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
