Refocus and get back to the Game 1 defense.

1. NJ had a lot of good looks in Game 2 and Freddie played exceptionally well, but it should not have been that easy for them. A lot of high danger and Grade A's in front of the net. NJ had a lot of shots on goal.

2. Timo Meier was on the doorstep more than a few times, it's only a matter of time unless the Canes get back to their style of defense.

3. Little doubt that Vacacek will start in goal for NJ. Need to get to him early, he's played pretty well considering he's come off the bench in the first 2 games.

4. NJ on home ice will have last change and I'm not very comfortable with the Canes 4th line and their lack of speed likely getting stuck on the ice with the Devils speedsters. 

Face down this challenge, win today and I think they sweep. If not, steal the Tuesday game and come home with a 3-1 series lead.

Big difference between the Canes and Devils series and the Devils and Rangers series is that the Devils were at home when they went down 2-0 to New York. People want to talk about adjustments but let’s be real, Schmid won the series for New Jersey and Carolina has already got to him.

I don’t think home ice is as important in this series as it was in the previous series against the Islanders. The Islanders like us limit chances and once you go down it’s hard to come back. I don’t think that’s the case with New Jersey. Even if Hughes gets going, I think New Jersey will still press and be vulnerable on the defensive end. We may give up some goals but I think we can win a shootout in this series.

Honesty guys. We were in this position last year. Up 2-0 on the rangers. We worked hard and have our chance at a redo. This time around, we don’t have to worry about an elite goalie and our goalies are playing great.  Plus, and here is the big one….we are scoring!  
 

win today 4-2 canes. Book it.

We are not playing a physical team this year like the Rangers were last year. We played that team (the islanders) last series. We can match speed with speed for the most part. We have clearly been the more physical team against the devils and they don’t like it. I loved Dougie as a cane, but he wants no part of the physical game, so Burns is a cut above Hamilton if you ask me. We just have to keep on the forecheck and limit their chances. If we do that I like our chances. I do not believe we will sweep them so just take it one game at a time.

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      By strato · Posted

      I get the rookie QB formula and fully expected to see it implemented. Oh well. For the run game there was no or very little under center stuff until a good ways into the year. At least that is how I am remembering it. And no deep throwing - so stacked boxes which you can say chicken or egg on why.  Hard to run like that.  The QB that people said was so great was pulled for a designated Hail Mary thrower. That’s pretty unusual. And may speak to why we saw few deep balls in some part, along with the OL. To ignore that stuff means you aren’t working with all of the information when you try to mentally model or project what it might be like on the field.  Me, I have a slice of hope that he could maybe be NFL average but getting him to be a plus type of QB is a huge job. It depends on designing the playbook with certain values at the foundation that have to be adhered to first . You have to integrate the other pieces around this one guy’s skill set because he is a real outlier. And he has to learn the under center skill set. Maybe put that Only Positive thread back up people can go there if they don’t want to deal with rightly frustrated fans.

      Least excitment before any season?

      Someone has to bare witness to what happens. It's hard to complain if you don't sit through it all.

      I do not pretend to be infallible or without flaws. I've been wrong on things over the years. We all have. Realistically most of what's been said here and on other Panthers fans social media platforms between the months of May and September for the last several years amounts to little more than spam. People drew lines in the sand over contentious takes on Bridgewater too. To the point of being asked if some people are really a Panthers fan over it. There will be reactionary spam during the season too particularly on gamedays. I've been reading these discussions on the huddle for 20 years. It's the same stuff rehashed the only thing that changes are the names in the front office the coaching staff and the roster. Some fans might be best served to stick to the official team social feeds if they are burned out on all this. Nothing wrong with that either. Different strokes for different folks. We're all human. As for the huddle. Honestly most of us post here out of habit. It's a habit hard to break. No different than the majority of the population that can't stop scrolling Facebook or X. Basically.....
