This team sucks

Too much consistency has created this imo. 

Too consistent a playoff team means guys have more minutes on their legs and more heartbreak of being close but not good enough to win it.

Too many of these guys have been here playing together for a while, which has created some complacency imo.

Bad team, bad time.

Post game from rod last night 

 

“"Not good enough. We've got a lot of guys that aren't pulling their weight. It's plain and simple."

 

Aho Necas Definitely Orlov. Orlov and necas need to ride the pine. 
 

there is going to be a trade for a goalie soon. It has to. 
 

This is the sad part. We are about to fall out of the playoffs…

Here's the good thing. We are deep as far as talent. Teams would murder to have the problem we have.

 

We can package a couple of big pieces for a starting goalie...if we are wise. We can replace the goal scoring, but we absolutely cannot survive giving up bad early goals and blowing leads instantly after we get them.

 

We're putting amazing d in front of our net. Third fewest shots against in the league currently, worst save % in the league by our goalies collectively.

We do limit the other teams shots but it appears to me we let a sh*t ton of those shots be grade A’s.

This is what scared me about all the Canes pre-season Cup picks 

No matter if it's the Panthers or Canes, we can't handle being the favorites, anytime we are expected to win, we blow it 

Even though our inconsistencies in net have been a glaring problem for a while 

I have always known we won't win the cup without a Vezina calibre goalie, we are like the Bolts before they got Vas

Dude, that poo mortified me as a Panthers fan. I am all too familiar with preseason expectations falling flat. It was funny, I knew Canes fans chirping about that spot at #1 but I was sweating bullets.

I think that's a result of our system and the uptick in mistakes/inconsistency. We absolutely run a high risk/reward forecheck. Transition chances and getting off schedule with changes leads to us giving up good looks.

 

There needs to be a message sent. Start pulling up some guys. Guys getting scratched for a few games could be the shot in the arm they need.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
