Good point, Canes/Devils should be all about speed.

Yep. We have to stay disciplined on our forecheck. If we do what the Rangers did and give the Devils 15+ odd man rushes, we will lose.

I don't mind physicality, but when you have cheap shot artists like Trouba, it's just annoying. Somebody just needs to take a stick and slash Trouba's knees as hard as possible

Yeah, looking forward to hearing from announcers who know dick about the Canes.

Well, the good news is they don't know dick about the Devils either probably. I am going to guess all of the talk will be about Schmid, which is fair enough since the dude had a hell of a series for against the Rags

there is the trouba concussion we have been waiting for

Looks like he finished the game? He was able to hold his head from snapping on the ice from what I saw. Broken/cut nose and definitely some upper body soreness at the very least.

Glad the Devils and Panthers took out the garbage.

It's going to be a tough series against NJ, they are fast.  We can only hope the defense tamps down and we stay aware on the ice so they don't get so many odd man rushes, the Rags got opened up like a can of peaches last night.

Hopefully Andersen and Raanta play as well as they did in the first round as well. 

Let's see if we can go one round further this year, but with the injuries I have realistic expectations.

If it wasn't for Boston there'd be a lot more talk about this sh*tty team failing in the 1st round
 

I'm loving every moment of this.   🤣🤣🤣🤣

      Okay gentlemen, REAL talk...

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Said Bryce is part of the wins and plays a key position. Not the same as saying he's the key to the wins. But also not denying he plays a role in them because...well, he did. Even if you limit his contributions to the  game winning drives in the 4th quarter, those still count. And yes, he's improved. but saying that doesn't equate to saying he's good enough to put the franchise label on him. It's just a simple acknowledgement that he's better than he used to be (to what degree is debatable). As to his initial expectations, I'll just say stats aren't the only thing I don't care about. What he is matters way more than what he was expected to be. And what is he? He's what you referenced, a mid-tier quarterback. Not the "worst in the league" or "worst ever" as some claim. That's just hyperbole.  Lots of teams have those. Very few teams have elite ones. And I wouldn't bet on next year's draft having a supply of those either. And again, stats. We used to have a number of folks who bandied about some of Delhomme's stats, Newton's stats, etc. But lets look at a few of those... What metric do you prefer? Yards, perhaps? Well, if those are key then Jared Goff, Sam Darnold and Bo Nix are all doing better than Baker Mayfield right now.  The second best quarterback in the league? Dak Prescott. And Young? Well, he's outpacing CJ Stroud, Lamar Jackson, Tua Tagavailoa and even Aaron Rodgers. Prefer touchdowns? Cool. On that front, Jared Goff is tied for third in the league with Drake Maye, leading Rodgers, Mayfield. Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen among others. Bryce is 15th in the league here, just a single score shy of Rodgers, Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Daniel Jones and Josh Allen.  Ahead of Tagavailoa, Trevor Lawrence, Caleb Williams, and Jackson. Interceptions? Holy hell, Bryce has fewer interceptions than Sam Darnold, Trevor Lawrence and, again... Josh Allen. Does that mean I can go out and post on X that Bryce has better ball security than Allen? But wait, are some of these stats...misleading? Or perhaps...out of context? Ya know, it seems like they kinda are. Weird, huh 🤔

      ESPN guys talk Bryce fifth year option

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      It's how we ended up with Brian Burns and not Greg Little in the 1st. Dan Snyder overruled his entire staff and took Dwayne Haskins RIP. If Burns had been the selection like many expected, Hurney had already said he was taking Little at 16. That would have brought his 1st round success rate down a few pegs. Woof!
