Rod after the game. Martinook after the game.

I caught the post game interviews. Both called out the work ethic of “guys”. Rod said that some guys are trying to cut corners and maybe taking the easy way. 
 

Do you guys think that the new guys have created that much of a sag, so much so that it is affecting the entire teams ethic? Is there 1-2 or 3 that you can point to?

Rod interview-

They Said It...

An unhappy Rod Brind'Amour post-game...

"Our top guys weren't very good tonight. You're not going to win if they're not consistently at least matching the other team's top guys. If you watch [Florida's] top guys, they were all over. I don't know where our top guys were."

Jordan Martinook expressing similar frustrations...

"We didn't have everyone on board.  For the most part, we were off.  Our whole group was off.  It's disappointing because that's the team that ended our season last year.  You want to come out and show something.  Show that it hurt you.  We didn't do enough to win that game."

Sebastian Aho offering his thoughts on the affair...

"I thought they were better in every area.  It starts with our compete level up and down the lineup.  We've got to be a little better.  Sometimes the intention might be there, but the execution is not there... I felt like a lot of time those crucial 50/50 battles went their way and we've got to be better.  They got more momentum off of it and we spent way too much time in our own zone."

Canes were out-muscled, out-played and weren't ready to meet physicality with physicality.

The Orlov-Chatty pair was rough when the season started with it and it's rough the second time around. I said before the season started that the blue line pairings after the top 4 were going to be difficult. 

The 3rd line is producing nothing and Bunting is a waste of money if he has nothing around him. Guy will get you 30 goals, but he'll be lucky to pot 15 alongside Drury, who is a liability.

    • You're not reading.  This isn't about his college performance. It's about his NFL prospects. The Golden Calf of Bristol was one of the greatest college players of all time. That didn't mean he was a great NFL prospect. Hunter is an elite of the elite NFL CB prospect who was a great college WR too based primarily on absurd physical talent and just natural ball skills. Could he be an elite WR if he focused on that? Honestly, probably. But in terms of him being the best WR prospect in this draft? No. His skill set is just way too raw as a WR. He just looks way more natural and instinctual playing CB.
    • Yea...another Brooks move and I yelling. I'll reserve that till I see how many holes he fills in the draft. We all know our needs at this point.
    • AND THERE IT IS Thank you, because you posted this as I was typing up my previous response and you did EXACTLY what I said the Hunter defenders do. You're taking people having very legitimate concerns about how part of his game will translate to the NFL and making it into someone talking bad about him as a college player. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING Go back and read every post I made about him this year, I consistently said he's a true generational collegiate talent, one of the rarest of them all.  But that doesn't mean jack squat when it comes to evaluating what kind of player he'll be in the NFL, or even just what position is best for him. If you want to think differently, that's totally fair, but pointing to things like stats and awards is just making you look like you don't know what you're talking about, because they don't mean anything.  There are so many instances of players putting up elite stats in college but couldn't sniff being even a serviceable NFL player.  Which again, isn't what myself or others are saying about Hunter, but it's just the proof that looking at stats/awards is a fools errand when projecting NFL potential and impact.
