Done and pinned.

Hockey is one of those things I don't hate, I just never got into. My best friend growing up was a huge canes fan and we went to the celebration parade when we won the Stanley cup, but I primarily went because of a girl who was a big canes fan at the time.

It didn't work out so I stopped following the team for reasons unrelated to hockey. 

I also harbored some resentment that the icecaps got kicked out of town when the canes came to town. Ruined my birthday plans as a child since taking a group of friends to a game was no longer affordable.

But apparently we're a solid youngish team now? That's nice. 

Youngish team that is more than solid they are the Cup Favorites

Sounds good. Wish I knew more about hockey and the players and the teams history like I do with the Panthers. Helps put context to where the team currently is and who and what to look for.

Corp players 

Sebastion Aho-26 Point per game top line center

Andrei Svechnikov-23 top 10 winger 

Jacob Slavin 29- best defensive Dman in the NHL

What are the lines looking like to start the season? I was able to watch just a bit of preseason but haven't been able to focus as much on lines. I was pleasantly surprised with Bunting's performance in the preseason from what I did see. Without a bonafide sniper we really need to keep increasing the secondary scoring. Hoping Necas can keep up his momentum from last year, Turbo can get back to being Turbo, Jarvis and KK keep coming along, and we finally get to see Drury start to break out.

Bunting - Aho - Jarvy

TT - KK - Necas

Martinook - Staal - Fasty

Lemieux - Drury - Noesen

Slavin - Burns

Skjei - Pesce

TDA - Orlov

Chatty

Andersen 

Raanta.

We will either play with the above 4 forward lines or Drudy - Noesen + 7 D with chatty.

I'm ambitious but I'd set the Hurricanes over under win total at 58

I get a little apprehensive every year when they have to start the season with a monstrous road trip because of the damn fair. But, they're used to it now, so I shouldn't get so worked up over it.

I'm setting the line at 53.

Recently we've come away from it with all but 3 points last season and all all but two the year before.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
