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.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
