Yeah I mean there are a few that would probably be derserving if you think back, and as well as present... You have Kasay,Walls,Greene,Minter,Muhammad,Rucker,Hoover,Smith,Peppers,and maybe Frank Garcia, and Eric Davis, and Jenkins.. Some that I think will evenually fall into that role would be Williams, Stewart, Beason, Gross, Davis. I also liked Steve Beuerlein, but Delhomme has been the best quarterback we've had this far.

We retired Sam Mills number in 2005. :thumbsup:

I'm not going to try and fight with you or say that NFL.com is wrong.

But based on the information I know of, there are no numbers officailly retired by the Panthers organization. Panthers.com even done a special on it two off-seasons ago about how the equipment manager is the one who decides what numbers rookies and new players get and that he wouldn't give out the number 51 even though it wasn't officially retired.

Also, on Panthers.com there is nothing mentioning the number 51 being retired, only that Sam Mills is inducted in the hall of honnor and has a statue outside the stadium.

Unofficially it might be regarded as retired but it isn't officially. IMO, it should be retired officially and as I stated before it is the only number I think is deserving of being retired at this point.

      So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.

      My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
