After the MRI, the team stated that Svech will be out for an external period of time. Think at least a month or longer.

Now its even more imperative to make a trade for a goal scorer and a goalie.  Earlier the better so we can get them acclimated to out system.  If we wait until the trade deadline then that's more time its going to take for us to gel.

Ribs and back for sure. Who knows if he’ll need surgery. 

Broken ribs are a pain in the arse and the pain radiates up and down that side of your body.  That was a nasty, hard cross check he took.  I don't think surgery, but multiple broken ribs take time to heal....it sucks for Svech and us.

I can attest to this....I broke half my ribs in a horrible six time rollover car crash.  It hurts to walk breath....Much less play hockey.  I was good to go after about 6 weeks.  I bet svech is out at least a month.

Yeah, I know football and basketball players "tough it out" by wearing protective flak jackets for their ribs along with numbing injections but they still have pain and have a really hard time breathing.  Svech and hockey players are in a very different world as they'll get checked and hit in the ribs so much they wouldn't be able to stand it.  Add in the fact that your cardio has to be so much better in hockey there's just no way I see Svech being back anytime soon. 

I heard it is multiple ribs with non-displaced and displaced fractures.  The displaced fractures are the worst, but the non-displaced are nothing to sneeze at.  I do believe they use bone stimulation (magnetic coils) to help heal these fractures for pro athletes so I am sure he has the best care possible.

Holiday break

I see the Canes headed into the holiday break at 17-14-3 and 37 points, probably dropping to 5th in the Metro.

Don't see them getting past Vegas or the Islanders, but probably squeaking out a victory against an old and tired Pittsburgh team.

That's it guys. They'll have played 34 games with 48 left on the schedule. Who knows, maybe Freddie comes back strong and Svech stays healthy and brings some fire to the team. To be honest, they look like they're going through the motions and believing somehow this whole thing will shake out and they go on a 10 or 12-game bender and make a playoff run.

But, if we're being honest, there's no reason anyone in the league needs to fear this team.

Need what….63 points from 96 to reach 100. What’s usual minimum to make playoffs? 90?

 Varies of course year to year but 2023 playoffs Panthers barely squeaked in as a wildcard with 92 points, lowest of all the teams making it in. Most teams had 95 or more with a lot in the 100s. I wouldn’t count us in unless we get on track for mid to high 90s.

    • I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.
    • Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.  
    • Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
