I wouldn’t say get rid of the cap. Just make the owners eat the Covid seasons instead of the players. Like god damn. Keeping the cap artificially low only benefits the owners and only benefits them for in the moment not long term.

Also 43%… what a shitshow. A small market team who also had an area team in the NBA finals. Which were happening at the same time. No network slot. Horrible announcers, only on TNT(I think, I didn’t watch), Vegas who are are pretty much universally hated and a significant mismatch. 
 

I guarantee the Canes would have kept those ratings rock solid.

TNT, TBS, Tru TV. But it was a single broadcast team simulcast and they were fugging horrible each and every game. It was a broadcasting sh!tshow from top to bottom. Gretzky is the GOAT, but he is fugging terrible at the intermission desk.

Who wants to hear the announcers telling us the betting lines at the beginning of each period? Who wants to hear Keith Jones slobbering over the Panthers, cameras missing plays, replays few and far between, missed calls, terrible officiating, etc.

1. Cap needs to remain as is, but does need to be increased to about $90M.

2. Overtime hockey rules need to be consistent from the regular season thru the playoffs.

3. Network TV deal for the finals (at least).

4. Listen to RBA's recommendations for officiating. It's horrible and needs a complete overhaul.

I agree on everything but cap(and maybe OT), the cap is artificially low while profits are blowing the roof off of expectations. I don’t know exact what the math is, I’d have to go watch a THG’s video, but I think the league will be in this cap conundrum for at least 2 more off seasons. It could be seasons.
 

For shitty teams in rebuild I get it because it levels the playing field for them somewhat but for anyone at the cap limit it sucks, and will push big market teams(Pitts, DC, bruins, etc) into complete rebuild. Which ya isn’t bad for us… but we are one season away from going one direction or the other. 
 

Also correct me if I’m wrong but I read somewhere vegas(I think) did the exact same playoff cap poo as TB did during their runs. Dunno how to fix that but we gotta play the game next year if that’s how it’s going to be played.

OT playoff hockey must change. It’s needs to be just like regular season.  3 vs 3. Maybe a full 20 period of 3 Vs 3

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By CamWhoaaCam · Posted

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!

      You do know the biggest military base in the US is located just an hour from Raleigh in Fort Bragg right? Military families are family oriented. A hour drive to games is nothing compared to traveling 3 hours to Charlotte.   Cmon man there is nothing happening in Western Carolina other than Charlotte. I only go west for outdoor activities and some nature/mountain views.
