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.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I went to Canes games back in '04 & '05 when you were probably still a swimmer waiting to make your dad a father. There was no one there bc they sucked. Some of the lowest attendance in the NHL. As a Panthers fan coming off a SB season (03-04), I couldn't even believe they put a hockey team in Raleigh, and given the attendance, a lot of people speculated they would be relocated somewhere back up north where they would be supported and not "Mayberry." Seriously, educate youself.  That is reality. That being said, comparing that environment to 2024 Canes would be disingenuous. I was at PNC last year and know how great the current environment is. Comparing the current environment at BOA to 10 years ago is just as disingenuous.  Just bc you didn't witness how good BOA is when the Panthers are actually decent doesn't change reality. Seriously, surely you see that coming from such an elitist environment like the globally renowned world-class city of Raleigh, NC... I guarantee you if you went to a Canes game and a Panthers game in 2005, the difference would be unreal bc the Panthers were awesome and the Canes were (at the time) a moribund franchise. I have been in BOA when the whole stadium was rocking. You simply are young, don't know what you're talking about, but want to portray yourself as having knowledge about things you simply don't. You have a lot in common with modern day politicians and televangelists Like I said, Idiocracy has prevailed... Have a great day too!

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!
