I don't know , will this be another year of playoff failure ?

it's starting to wear on me 

Still a Canes fan though , and still support them, I just want another cup and we are so close, but we fall apart against legit teams in the playoffs , we almost got it back if Freddy could move without falling over 

Sigh, Go Canes !!!!!

 

Has being a Panthers fan taught you nothing? Don't complain about 6 strait playoff years and no first round exits.....

I don't even like to compare the 2 sports any more. It doesn't make sense.

Football is a 17 game season and a team needs to win 3 or 4 games to play for the championship. Hockey is 82 games and a team getting to the Cup final needs to win 16 of 28 possible games.

The Stanley Cup is the most difficult championship to win and appreciating a team that, at least, puts itself in a position to contend is enough to have my fan commitment.

Oh I'm committed, the fact I'm still a Panthers fan should tell you what I'm willing to endure 

But I want more than just being there , I want Rod to be one of the few who lifted the Cup as a player and coach 

But I will never stop being a Canes fan, no matter what , I haven't forgotten when we were a bottom feeder and all free agents declined to come here, so I appreciate being in the cup conversation every season, I just really want the Canes to be a multi-championship franchise , and 2006 seems like ancient history now

    • He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.  
    • This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.
    • I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
