Also, Martin is pretty good if the defense is doing anything.

Defense was not that good last night. However, if they can clean up some terrible offensive zone clears and bad defense(from offensive players too) they will be unbeatable. 
 

I said this last night to my wife at the game, the only team that can beat the canes this year is the canes.  Stay out of box, know when to pinch, don’t get caught flat footed, and clear the damn puck.

Specifically, clearing pucks toward an unprotected area in the middle of the ice (Brent Burns). Giving up 2 very late goals in both the 1st and 2nd period, both on breakaways after poor puck handling decisions.

Spencer Martin? Remember his first start this season, how he looked fairly smooth and calm in net? He has become more frantic in his movement and he's giving up goals high... almost all of them. He plays small. He's not playing big in the crease and he's giving away the top half of the net. I don't know if you can fix that.

Other than that, it was a great night at the LC. Dinner in the arena club was good, got into the store before the doors opened and had enjoyed having my good friend join me last night as the wife was unable to attend. I have the tickets and he picked up the dinner tab.

Oh yeah, and the fugging Rags lost. Liked Stormy doing the "Dodgers in Five" sign with "NY SUX" on the other side. Also liked the big screen after the game with the "Traffic alert- expect delays from all the Ranger fans exiting toward Cary," or something like that.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      And that’s where a lot of people struggle to see it with Bryce Bryce is never physically going to “wow” anyone. Which will ultimately keep him out of that elite QB tier.  Burrow, Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, Maye, Stafford People want to put Herbert in that tier because he’s the ultimate highlight type QB. Highlights in this day and age trump just about everything. I’m more inclined to put Dak in that category than Herbert.  Then there’s the tier before the elite group. That’s where I believe Young’s ceiling is. Which is fine. You better have a good team and a good coach around these types though.  I believe Bryce has a higher ceiling than Goff. Put Young on Detroit and that team has a higher ceiling. Would also have a lower floor but you’d take that.  Bryce doesn’t have many true ‘wtf’ moments. He definitely did his rookie year. Granted the bulk of his “supporting cast” and HC are out of the league now and were well on their way out when the arrived here.  Due to lack of physical traits and what made Bryce good at Bama this NFL thing was and still is going to take time with him. He’s adjusting to NFL defenses.  So sure, we’re kind of in a pickle. Do we keep Bryce and have something like the 10th best QB in the league paired with Canales whose ceiling is probably similar at his position or do we keep doing what we’ve been doing since 2017? This team has been an absolute mess since Tepper took over. He’s finally seeing some wins. I’m all for spending a day 3 pick every year on a QB with traits. But for the time being Young is definitely our best option in 2026 and it would be tough to imagine us having a better option at this point in 2027 as well I know how much the huddle loves charts but this wasn’t happening his rookie year. This chart is 2 weeks old but point remains. It’s also why I said Dalton would be useless against Buffalo. Bryce has done a real good job at avoiding sacks this year and then making something happen. Bryce is fully capable of giving you those 4-5 big plays you need from a QB a game. Those 4-5 big plays just look a lot different than the 4-5 big highlight type plays you get from those physically gifted QB’s

      5 games without a turnover, the defense has surprised me a lot this year. Second to last in sacks, yet still getting the job done, impressive.

      Does Canales get a nickname yet?

      Dave “Uncanny” Canales His choices are often inexplicable, but work absurdly well about half the time.
