Canes vs Rags Round 2 Game 1 4pm


Recommended Posts

Think it’s important that we get a lot more offense from our defense this series.

We only got two goals from the defense last series and if for some reason the forwards get cold, we are going to need a lot more from that.

Also need Kuzy and Necas to have the series’ of their lives. They’ll be the best players on the ice when they are out there against the Rangers bottom six, they need to play like it.

Finally, guess I’ll pick up Raising Canes for the game, got to show my support somehow.

It was because Varlamov had a super strong high glove side and excellent rebound control, plus high selling out to block by the islanders(something the rags do also but not the extreme the islanders do it). One of those two goals came against Samsanov almost immediately. 
 

Igor on the other hand is fallible glove high sometimes, not as bad as Bob though for sure.

Necas may have only had 1 goal but he had a quietly good series against the islander 5 points, 1g, 4a, 1.0 ppg, though he is a -1. His defense was definitely not the best last series. 

Frankly, Aho and Guenz need to up their game. Guenz was a .8 ppg with an empty netter so you could argue he’s a .6 on game changing points, Aho is also a .6 ppg. 
 

Kuz isn’t really a stat issue. +2, 2g 2a, 4p. But he was off a lot last series in the ozone. I don’t know if he was trying too hard or not enough but…

Does anyone know if Bally’s is still gonna do a pre-game/post-game show? I’d rather not have to listen to PK and Messier fawn over the rags. Wish we were on TNT/TBS. Really grown to like the TNT/TBS crew this playoffs, which is the opposite of last year.

Yeah, these national guys are tough to watch.

Sounded like no on the podcast. Willis will be doing some stuff on WRAL.

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
