The Canes are playing hard, but here's my issue with them:  their turnovers in the neutral zone and way too many passes when shots are there and then shooting when a Panther is right in front of them and they get it blocked.  Aho, Turbo, Necas (a huge offender of not shooting enough), Jarvis and Burns have all done this. 

The neutral zone turnovers are the entire team.  It's been terrible and it has hurt us. 

I think we need more solid net front presence and pepper Bob with shots.  Shoot the dang puck when the shot it there, pretty don't win hockey games.

Good points. Throw in lazy cross court passes easily intercepted as well.

If It had been a goal on a Canes PP in OT we would be talking about how Raanta was locked in.  A penalty and blown defense is what did us in.

Were back to where we usually are with the injuries, having trouble scoring. Devils style of play allowed us to score tons but was a little false hope.

Yeah, the Devils don't play as "heavy" as Florida does, but they didn't put up 112 points for nothing.  They play a style that allowed us to really impose our will and are young.  They still were a good team. 

Agree that our scoring has disappeared at the worst time possible, but I do give credit to Bob and Florida's style of play.  It's a tougher road to hoe.  I think we need to shoot, shoot again, and shoot some more.  We are going to have to start scoring those dirty, scramble goals and that hasn't happened.  If that starts happening we can get back into this.

Fug me, I left out Jarvis and Noesen

So

Svech - Aho - Patches

Turbo - KK - Necas

Marty - Staal - Fast

Noesen - Stastny - Jarvis

Kase rotating in.

 

That’s a massive difference in what we have now. I don’t see how any team could overcome losing two first liners.

Jarvis would have been with the aho line. He and Aho play well together. Maybe necas as 2c with patches while kk goes down to 4th c.

Yeah, injuries suck but they happen. The foolish thing was not trying to improve our team at the trade deadline. This is what we deserve for having a cheap ass owner/gm.

It sucks because we are bordering on the Carolina Panthers level of play before our super bowl. Good enough to keep making the playoffs, but not good enough to win it 😞

Ok had a night to think on the game. Here are my thoughts with a clear head. 
 

Both teams are DEAD even with talent. As evidence that both have gone to OT.   Florida has gotten the two extra bounces when ours has not. If we had Max and Svech, that nod goes to us.  But they don’t.  
 

Our big gun has made plays but we do need AHO to score. The difference is Tkachuk HAS scored. Twice.  
 

Turbo is either on the wrong line or just doesn’t have it anymore. You pick. 
 

goalie play. Pretty much even. All three have played ALL world. No complaints. 
 

sometimes, adversity breads character. We really haven’t faced it yet. Florida is 8-0 on the road in the playoffs this year. WOW! however, they are 2-3 at home. THAT is our window. This is a cup team boys. Whether they make it or not. I know rod will have them playing hard. Have faith. Keep the faith and let’s keep cheering for our boys.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
