Canes Vs Flames 9pm

Historically bad goalie play. The team is still just off.  Listened to XM radio this morning. Apparently we have gone back to Orlov and pesce being out of place and it’s causing Slavin and burns over skate. Also, the talking heads said a few of the forwards are skating very very lazy. Mentioned necas actually. They said he is just way too careless with the puck. I believe a few of here have made that observation.   
 

Personally, I think Orlov doesn’t fit here and was a bad signing. The other issues can be corrected. However, we have to make a trade for goal scoring and goalie. If that means trading Orlov pesce Drury or necas and Raanta/Koochie, we have to do it. Our window is gonna slam shut with this current roster  it’s just not good enough  

 Anyways.  Let’s go canes. I guess.

Not sure. Just had it on for a sec on the way to work 

 

but it echoed just what the guys said on TNT between the periods.  

If it was early it’s morning skate. There are some shows on there I like and some that I don’t and a few that I wouldn’t even turn on during playoff season. I like Under Review and The Power Play. Not big on The Point and some of the non-daily shows. 
 

Under Review is one of the best call in shows in sports radio. Mick Kern is a dick.

The Canes got curb-stomped by a 9-12 team last night. I have no confidence they can beat a 10-12 team with a better D than Edmonton.

That being said, as others have pointed out, the Canes are streaky and there's no better time than now.

As for everything else that's not happening with this team- far as I'm concerned it's the best team in the NHL on paper. Problem is, the game is not played on paper. Dundon and Waddell can start tearing this whole thing down for a retool tomorrow and I'd be okay with it.

My trade bait list: Necas, Drury, Martinook (UFA). Pesce, DeAngelo. Both Raanta and Kochetkov.

I don't see Orlov going anywhere with a $7.5M salary for the next 2 years, otherwise, I'd add him to the list as well. The first 4 guys on that list could bring in some serious talent.

An upgrade in goalie is a must and should be the number one priority, after that a sniper. I agree with your trade list but who is gonna want Raanta or Koch, for that matter add NoD DeAngelo to the list. Yes the first four should bring in some serious talent.

So does Aanti go back to back, or do we try the seive again?

Who knows. It doesn’t look like we morning skated and Rod hasn’t talked to the media nor is there in indication when he will. I’m guessing probably 7-7:30ET. Our media circle has been quite quiet today. Like nothing at all.

Didnt we sign a goalie off of waivers? 

Off the FA list as a tryout. We “mutually parted ways” before thanksgiving. I’m guessing he wanted more money than we were offering, he also didn’t want to move the fam down here. Plus at that point I don’t think he would have seen the net. Probably wasn’t top notch in goal either. I still think we should have let him try a few games before deciding. Halak would have been a serviceable 2.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
