Interesting? Guess they are bored before game time?

Perhaps. Interesting to hear their perspectives. The thinking is this one won’t go to OT and Mike says he expects an empty net goal kind of game and Canes need to get on the board first (of course).

I’m assuming cause last change matchups. We need to score often is the critical part.

Yep, they talked about needing rotation movement on the PP and having guys in front of Bobs eyes on shot attempts to blind him and put in rebounds.

I hope the Canes get this thing back on track. I have a very long post Im going to make if we lose in the ECF concerning Waddell if we dont. He talked big, we better win it all.

I don't think this is a blow up everything event. We were missing some extremely key pieces and like it or not, we still don't have an elite goalie. 

Bobrovsky has been the difference, without a question. Our margins are smaller against FL and he is playing elite, which he has been capable of in his career.

Yep. Though I will admit on face value I was not thrilled with the Max move(we should have pulled a kucherov with him in this instance). There was plenty of other scheme players out there that weren’t temporarily crippled. Everyone expects us to get a big scorer and that will fix everything. In rods scheme it won’t. We don’t rely on 1-2 guys, Rod is a by committee guy. Most likely a big score would come in here and his numbers would drop substantially because he’d be expected to do a lot more than score. That’s just a truth.

To be fair to Max, he wasn’t hurt when the trade was made. He tore his Achilles during a summer skate. I will say that he is injury prone though.

Interesting line rushes in warm ups.

Noesen - Aho - Jarvis

MacEachern - Kotkaniemi - Teravainen

Drury - Staal - Necas

Martinook - Stastny - Fast

Those are weird as fug. But considering we don’t get last change it makes sense, especially the 4 line. I would still drop Jarvis to 2 and TT up to Aho to generate offense though.

I’m not saying anything against max. Just saying I don’t think his trade was all that it should be from a GM perspective. We basically paid Vegas 7M+tips for an aging guy to fix their cap issue. It was reactionary on wadells part.

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room (behind him anyway). Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
