No word on our refs yet. But it won’t be Rank and Garrett again. They are up in Boston. 

Honestly not sure it matters It wouldn't shock me if the Isles fail to score a PP goal in this entire series even if they get five chances a game....

And on the flip side the Canes will probably convert at least 1 of 3.

 

The refs care more about keeping penalty calls even and "policing games" than actually calling correct penalties.

I wonder if Lemieux needs to be in tonight? I have a feeling the goons will be out tonight.

I don't think the Isles go goon, they did last year because our PP was as bad as theirs this season we can and will make them pay nothing loses this series faster for them than gooning it up....  I hope they do

Once a goon always a goon. It just depends on when it comes out. It did a bit in the third last game.

I’d rather Lemuix be there just in case they do. I still have nightmares from Svech, falling and getting the concussion fighting Ovechkin. Albeit, Svech is probably 30lbs heavier now.

You’ll see more physicality in this game for sure.

The Pisles were sixth in the regular season in hits and I’m shocked that they weren’t more physical in our opening game.

No matter, as long as the hits are legal I don’t care because being overtly physical can sometimes put a team in a bad spot defensively when they are focused more of making a hit and less on making the right play. We saw this exact situation occur in the Caps/Rags series and it led to a Rags goal.

Remember Fast is out tonight, who takes his place?

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      That doesn't void his contract
