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.....

    • I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.  
    • I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years. 
    • He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
