Yes, and I didn't get a lot of feedback one way or the other. So, we'll start the playoffs with a new look to be unveiled Game 1. And we'll start from scratch, with a possible 16 wins up for grabs.

And, players will be able to call a shutout for either team, and get a win if it happens.

One weak spot- we could call for a shutout for the canes every game and might get a winner off that with nothing to lose lol

That would be like calling the goalie. If you go with Freddie, he needs a shutout for you to win.

I think far more difficult than calling a skater for the first.

Missing your logic. If those are the rules I will call for a Canes shutout for every game regardless of who is in Canes net. No one would beat me on the shutout call unless they call for a shutout of the Canes by the opposing team and get lucky. So it doesn’t make sense everyone could call “shutout” every game.

Okay.... but I've called more winners since we started this than the Canes have had shutouts. So I'm not following.

No worries. We'll leave the format as is.

Do you mean you have to call first goal AND the shutout to get a shutout win? Like you get 2 points for calling both?

Do we give a point to start the playoff series to the regular season winner?

If you call Freddie or Pyotr or shutout- that's your pick. No other picks. 

So, between both goalies, they have what, 7 or 8 shutouts between them? I've called 8 first goals and we didn't even start until after the holidays if I remember correctly.

Call a shutout in the playoffs? Bold move.

Pyotr I believe has 5, Freddie has 3 on the small sample size since returning.

Ah, so it’s call first goal OR a shutout, got it. Didn’t see an OR in the OP but now it makes sense.

      I am really sorry  that  happened to you they say to never meet your sports heroes i have friends who met  mickey mantle when they were young and he was a belligerent alcoholic at the time  ut broke their hearts  I had the opportunity to meet and spend  time with Cam Newton.     He was the polar opposite of Steve Smith and his public image.   Polite.  Honest when asked question.  You could tell the things that mattered to him and the things that  didnt. The disappointments in himself and the things that hurt him  those qualities make him quite a good interviewer too  i genuinely liked him   Im sure as young, rich, sports hero, he has not been a choir boy but there is goodness in him  the time i met him i took one of my friends with me from the west coast. She said she didn't like him and wasn’t enthusiastic about meeting him.  She left loving him   No one can say anything bad about ‘her Cam’ anymore

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      Agree about oline. They've tried their best to improve that area. But honestly, has it looked like the most expensive oline in the NFL to you? Not just with Bryce. With Dalton's one game where they almost got the old man killed.  Also YAC shouldn't always be hitting a guy in stride while he's running full speed. Pickens killed us after the catch and those weren't all hit-in-stride plays. I remember a play in Miami when a guy caught a 5 yards curl and took it like 30-40 yards to the house. We don't have that in Carolina. Horn might be the closest thing to that but he can't get significant PT for whatever reason. If Bryce keeps trusting his receivers to make plays, I think he'll become more consistent. Seemed like he only trusted TMac. And force feeding one receiver isn't sustainable. Defenses will start to blanket him and take him out of the game. And yeah, keep taking deep shots. I hate all that dink and dunk football. Hate it.

      Dan Marino sucked too I guess. Washed up Elway carried by Terrell Davis was actually better than prine Elway. Lol
