Definitely need to change a few things up and need some injury luck.

I love the regular season, games every few days of a team I love. 

It's definitely better than MLB, but I feel like it drags on too much when there are random stretches of 3 games in 4 nights then weird 4 day layoffs between games.

You also just can't beat playoff hockey. Even though it sucked losing the 4 OT game, you just don't get that level of buttclench in any other sport.

Right before the end of the reg season, we got cold. We're too up and down. Too late now.

When the NHL gifted FLA the TOR series, it should have been a clue. If I had any money to waste, I'd bet on FLA to win the cup.

And anybody that puts any blame on Freddie or Aanti is an idiot.

I hated the one goal Freddie let in Game 1. But, he isn't the reason we lost the game. 

The margin for error just gets smaller and smaller the deeper in the playoffs you go.

If it does end like this, I mostly hate it for the players, we can turn it off and move on , but they have to live it, live with there hopes and dreams crushed at the gates of elysium 

Time to take a break from sports , not gonna watch the finals, don't care who wins anymore

I will definitely be back here for the regular season, I came here because of the Panthers, but found a cool group of hockey fans to talk to while I watch the Canes, no hockey fans where I live so it's refreshing

If someone told me we would hold Florida to an average of 2 goals per game through 3 games I would be ecstatic and thinking the Canes would have at least a 2-1 series lead.

What I didn't expect was that we are averaging 1 goal per game.  Somehow we were able to get through the first two rounds and our anemic offense went into hiding showing up here and there (mostly during the Islanders series).

Now it's really obvious how much we miss Svech, how nice it would be to have Patches on the ice, and have Turbo not coming back from a broken hand and being really out of rhythm (he always is when he first comes back from injury).  Throw in the fact that the refs have been poo this series and here we are......

I didn't think we'd get past the second round, and to be honest after Turbo went down I was prepared to go out to the Islanders so I am taking this in stride.  I am pissed to be down 3-0 when we easily could be up 3-0 or 2-1.  I am pleased to see our goalies plays so well, I never thought Andersen and Raanta would be so consistently solid.  Give Bob his credit - he's made the saves needed to steal games and he's in the Canes head - along with us not being elite offensively is a bad combo.

Oh yeah, having Staal obviously suffering from some kind of upper body injury doesn't help either.  His line has still played well, but Staal isn't laying the wood like he was earlier in the playoffs and he can't put anything on his shot, let alone lift the puck when shooting.  He's playing through it...

I am not going to knock this team, they got farther than I thought they would and the fat lady hasn't sung yet.  She is in the waiting room warming up though.....

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
