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.

All of that was known at the TDL. We had guys out, we already knew other guys go silent in the playoffs. We also know we keep getting injured in the playoffs. Still Waddell told us we are fine and can win it. So, do it.

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 to fix their cap issue. It was reactionary on wadells part. 

I completely get it from the Canes perspective though. When healthy, Max is a 35+ goal guy and a great playoff performer. He just can’t stay healthy.

rod has more to say with roster management than we think. no moves are being ok'd without his input. period. we are a team that relies on chemistry along with hard work and sacrifice. if you blame donny boy, you have to blame rod as well.

I really dont care how anyone else wants to paint it. This was our year to win the Cup. We knew all of these factors at the deadline. Im going to blame the GM for not bringing in help. Our expectations have always been to win the Cup. It shouldnt have lowered for anything. Injuries arent an excuse. Waddell said we were fine.

Aye, skate and you may die. Run and you'll live -- at least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our puck, but they'll never take our glory!!!

Yep. Though I will admit on face value I was not thrilled with the Max move. 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. 

I don't have a problem with Pacioretty. He was sensational for that little period of time he was here.

Svech's knee was post-trade deadline, so I have to disagree there.

I don't honestly get the hate for Waddell, way more of his moves have worked than not.

It sucks to keep coming up short like this but I do believe we will get one eventually with this core group.

Interesting line rushes in warm ups.

Noesen - Aho - Jarvis

MacEachern - Kotkaniemi - Teravainen

Drury - Staal - Necas

Martinook - Stastny - Fast

I actually like Turbo on a line where he's the only goal scorer. Put him with an Aho, Svech, or Necas, and he will pass the puck everytime no matter how good of a look he has. It's almost like he doesn't trust himself unless he has to.

I also like him back on the right side. He was a beast when he was on the right side with Svech on the left and Aho in the middle. Hopefully going back to the right side gets him going.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
