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 think at some point you top out what God gave you.  He can use leverage via his mechanics to maximize what he has and When he pays attention to it the throws are better.    IMO as a layman a lot of it is what kind of ‘headroom’ you have. The guys who are gifted don’t have to use maximum effort to get good results and stay within themselves but they have it in reserve. They can do an arm throw for substantial distance without max effort.    I think what we may be seeing with these ‘lasers’ is a throw that Bryce puts the max effort into and does his mechanics right and has his base right and it works together.    To get to the payoff here, I think his best velocity throws take dall that whereas  a naturally gifted guy doesn’t need to go full effort to get that same velocity. I have said this three or four times over the years and it never gets picked up on but the accuracy is more consistent with an easier motion and max effort can produce less predictable location. It is a baseball pitcher thing but it applies to throwing a pass too. It isn’t that you can’t make an accurate throw with full effort it is just not as reliably accurate to the same degree. Someone said something about his pro day and that is where I saw it too. He took a little extra step on the deep throws. Some call it a hitch but I don’t see it that way because I don’t see it on shorter throws. He does it trying to get distance. I saw that and just wanted no part of it at 1.1 . That is not tne characteristic of a 1.1 passer.  He should have been at best, late first  I had him second day. Of course I am no one and certainly not a pro evaluator, it is just that he WS so easy to suss out. They must have thought they could fix him. Changing a lifelong throwing motion with the footwork tied into it is not fuging easy. Anyone that had decent success with ‘their’ way and tried to change it to get more, can tell you that.     
    • Sounds like a tad bit of what Josh Allen had. He would make throws that made zero sense die to his desire to make a make. Bryce also turns the ball over believing their is an unlimited shot clock in those moments. Sometimes the best play is to reset for the next one. 
    • See, I think one of his biggest issues is he bails too early.  His instinct has been to bail as soon as defenders get behind him and the pocket starts to close in. Taller QBs hang in there for that extra second or two and throw over guys as the pocket collapses in the QBs lap.  BY runs as soon as this starts to happen, which means routes don’t have time to develop and the field gets cut in half as soon as he runs. This last game I saw some signs of him being willing to hang in the pocket when the defense gets behind him, but that has been rare.
