There’s your proof. And like I said, things can change. It doesn’t mean that the information that Shayna was originally provided with wasn’t correct and then became incorrect later.

I don’t know how long you’ve been a Canes fan but the same situation happened last year. Every pundit reported that we had agreed to terms with Mason Marchment and then Dallas came in and stole him from us. It doesn’t mean that all the talking heads were wrong, it just means that something happened and the situation changed.

The only reason I even said anything was because of your sarcastic remark about Shayna being reliable. Once again, not sure how long you’ve been a Canes fan but she broke the news of the Skjei trade when he was sent from the Rangers to Carolina.

Everyone has hits and misses but she’s right more often than not.

Reddit? Doesn’t matter. I remember the Marchment fiasco. Pundits do get things wrong sometimes I understand that. And yes there are reasons they get things wrong. But that doesn’t make them not wrong. You get it right or you get it wrong. Those are the choices.

why so hostile bro. take this energy back to twitter. 

 By the way, I make it a point to leave politics out of this forum. After all Canes fans come in all shapes and sizes and viewpoints. Sports is the one place we can all come together with a common goal, to see our Canes win the cup.

Its obvious to me by your comment that you have read posts on my twitter account and formed a judgement not based on sports. I resent you bringing that here. So please leave anything not sports related out of it ok?

The Reddit link has the NHLN video, that’s why I posted it.

And if you see everything in black and white then I guess those are your only options. But I’m of the belief that something can be right at one point and then wrong at another point. And if I’m not mistaken, Shayna said that ‘it sounds like Tarasenko is headed to Carolina,’ not that he is signing with Carolina. That’s an open ended statement that leaves room for something unexpected to happen in my opinion, and obviously something unexpected did happen.

Anyway, it’s a moot point now.

That’s true she did say “sounds like” which is why I took it as speculation while others here ran with it. In any case appreciate the discussion and didn’t mean to be the contrarian. I do reserve the right to be a curmudgeon in the future though my preference is to be a friendly one when I can manage lol.

You’re the one who brought up me “taking this energy back to twitter.” Fine if you want to keep our twitters out of it. just don’t open that can again. Never know what might come out lol.

Wow, why are we getting bent out of shape about a rumor about a guy who would rather play in Ottawa than Carolina because of $$.

I rather make some good scratch and be on a winning team.

Point well taken. We should recognize spirited debate doesn’t set well with the more sensitive members here.

Youre kind of piling on after it’s all over though haha.

Doldrums of the offseason, this long without hockey makes me ornery.

Admirable, but it was me more than you, my ornery is a tad bigger lol. But you’re the type I can argue with and come out as friends so it’s all good. And I agree, we just want to know if theres gonna be any more trades and for the season to start. So far I feel good about the team already and any good forward added would just be another bonus.

      Some Tet appreciation

      He has a lot to work on for sure but he has been a huge boost to the offense. It's nice to finally have an elite WR.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By strato · Posted

      We have been on that roller coaster ride already. He needs to have streaks far longer than a couple of good games.  People raved about the Green Bay game in 2023. Which was mostly a good 2nd half and hot 4th quarter.  Ask me what happened the next four games, if you don’t remember. or just go look them up. There isn’t much to see.  The end of last year had some good things and one excellent outing, and look up what followed that, which you won’t have to but he came out this year looking like week 1 2023.  Now he is on a game and a half streak, against a bad Miami team and lowest rated defense in the league - at home.  This is the reality in the big picture. He needs to break his pattern, in a positive way.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This "noodle arm" characterization just baffles me. There's way more involved in a successful downfield passing attack than simple air yards. Let's take two stat-lines for throws of 40+ air yards (no YAC) from the last 3 seasons: 5/29 (17%) for 3 TDs and 2 INTs 1/9 (11%) for 1 TD So with three times the number of attempts, you net +6% completion percentage, the same TD rate, and 2 arm punt INTs to boot. The first player is Mahomes, the second is Bryce. Clearly Bryce attempts these throws at a much lower rate, but his success rate is quite similar to one of the most talented downfield throwers of all time. The takeaway isn't that Bryce is Mahomes-lite (if he was his usage rate for these would be much higher) but that these throws by their very nature are extremely difficult, very scheme-specific, and even an elite thrower can have wildly differing success rates season by season. And before we get into the complaints of cherry-picking, this is far more substantial information than the various insinuations that Bryce struggles to even get the ball 20 yards downfield, much less 40+. And the wildest part of this is that every time Mahomes threw a bomb over the last 3 season, 83% of the time the end result was failure.
