Man I’m not going to judge a player on a two videos showing two bad plays.

I would take Nylander playoff stats any day:

Here’s Nylanders 2022-2023 season highlights. Yep, I owould take this player any day.

 

He’s a good star. Just not a hurricanes type player *Unless* he mans up and plays rods hockey but then you are going to see him number suffer greatly. He’s basically an Offensive defensemen without the defensemen part. Or should I say a dougie Hamilton.

Yeah Dougie Hamilton had his best season ever too haha.

That’s it, I’m on the phone now with Don and Rod. We’re gonna make a move to get Nylander just to piss you off.

One could also say Burns wasn’t a Canes player. It took him about 10 games to get going but when he did…oh boy.

Eh it took him nearly until the all star break to truly settle in and find his groove in the roll assigned. I just think people see Nylander’s numbers and get all hot and bothered without actually looking at his play style/work ethic. We don’t run a 2-3 offensive so look at his numbers not in that scheme to get a true gauge of how he would be offensively. Defensive isn’t even a question. I doubt the dude could man if his life depended on it.

And like I said maybe, probably, Rod could fix him. But his numbers will suffer greatly. We are not Toronto. We have two of the most different play styles in the entire league.

Would rather have Kempe.

Anyone see Haula’s ‘Canes Suck’ bracelet? Guy has fully embraced the hate lol.

Haula’s Bracelet Is A Clear Warning For The Hurricanes

Quote

And don’t get me started on real hurricanes! Erik Haula will mess them up too. Any tropical depressions out there in the south Atlantic had better get to counseling ASAP because the Haulamonster is on the prowl and out for blood. That bracelet of his proves it.

You might think I am joking about Erik Haula’s bracelet. That it’s a silly trinket. In fact, I am saying just the opposite. When you see Erik “First Round Force To Be Reckoned With” Haula wearing a bracelet with your team’s name on it, hide the women, children, and pets because it is about to get ugly.

You’ve been warned Carolina Hurricanes. Erik Haula’s bracelet is all you need to see, because it’ll be the last thing you see if you aren’t prepared.

Lmao 🤣 🤣 🤣 

The whole thing is worth a read! I legitimately lolled more than a few times...

The only thing making his salty tears sweeter is knowing Rod and Co. are living rent free in that noggin of his 12 months out of the year. I love it Erik!  At least you know who your his daddy is!

      Bryce Slinging Dots Downfield

      By DeAngelo Beason · Posted

      Yet had it not been for some amazing plays by the defense, we would all be looking at this game saying Bryce Young squandered away some golden opportunities, like the pass that was too high for Tremble, or taking a sack on the long drive in the 3rd quarter.  I'm glad he played well.  I really am.  But it's true that a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while.  Bryce Young is the primary party responsible for nearly all of our losses this season.  I have no reason to believe that he won't come out and lay an egg after the bye.

      And that’s where a lot of people struggle to see it with Bryce Bryce is never physically going to “wow” anyone. Which will ultimately keep him out of that elite QB tier.  Burrow, Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, Maye, Stafford People want to put Herbert in that tier because he’s the ultimate highlight type QB. Highlights in this day and age trump just about everything. I’m more inclined to put Dak in that category than Herbert.  Then there’s the tier before the elite group. That’s where I believe Young’s ceiling is. Which is fine. You better have a good team and a good coach around these types though.  I believe Bryce has a higher ceiling than Goff. Put Young on Detroit and that team has a higher ceiling. Would also have a lower floor but you’d take that.  Bryce doesn’t have many true ‘wtf’ moments. He definitely did his rookie year. Granted the bulk of his “supporting cast” and HC are out of the league now and were well on their way out when the arrived here.  Due to lack of physical traits and what made Bryce good at Bama this NFL thing was and still is going to take time with him. He’s adjusting to NFL defenses.  So sure, we’re kind of in a pickle. Do we keep Bryce and have something like the 10th best QB in the league paired with Canales whose ceiling is probably similar at his position or do we keep doing what we’ve been doing since 2017? This team has been an absolute mess since Tepper took over. He’s finally seeing some wins. I’m all for spending a day 3 pick every year on a QB with traits. But for the time being Young is definitely our best option in 2026 and it would be tough to imagine us having a better option at this point in 2027 as well I know how much the huddle loves charts but this wasn’t happening his rookie year. This chart is 2 weeks old but point remains. It’s also why I said Dalton would be useless against Buffalo. Bryce has done a real good job at avoiding sacks this year and then making something happen. Bryce is fully capable of giving you those 4-5 big plays you need from a QB a game. Those 4-5 big plays just look a lot different than the 4-5 big highlight type plays you get from those physically gifted QB’s

      5 games without a turnover, the defense has surprised me a lot this year. Second to last in sacks, yet still getting the job done, impressive.
