Rods forwards and lines

Recommended Posts

I think this is now being talked about on radio shows other message boards and podcast. These lines have derailed our forward groups.  We now have 2 wins in 7 games. Scoring has all but dropped. They haven’t had a 5v5 forward goal in 4 games. That’s wild. Aho said postgame the thing we have all been saying…we have no chemistry. He said it.  Staal sounded defeated. Koochie is playing bad to average. 
 

what needs to change? Team looks terrible. Is it time for a players only meeting like last year?

Sadly I dont see Rod changing. Im talking about in terms of his philosophy and way he has been handling things. He is the same since his first year. The thing is, he hasnt tried adapting and getting better each year. He needs to be more innovative, which is isnt, and its why we have stretches were it looks like we are hanging by a thread and also why we keep getting knocked out of the playoff.

Rod is who he is. He NEEDS to mess with lines. His philosophy and coaching style is never going to change. We already extended him again and so we are stuck with him until we are not. 
Thing is I get everyone just wanting to stick with Rod through good or bad. 
The Canes have been contenders every season he has been here. But the problem is his issues really come to a head when the playoffs start. 
Yes, I believe Rod is to blame for a lot of our playoff problems. 
Rod is a great season coach but a terrible playoff coach.

Rod has been a god send to develop our players to get us this far. Unfortunately, I think this is far as rod can take us.  Can’t develop a true goalie with Koochie getting worse. Team flames out every year in the playoffs.  Who would be the next Florida Panthers type situation to take us to the next level?

All Rod has to do to significantly improve the team is surround himself with better coaches, but he is headstrong on sticking with his current staff. Eventually this will lead to him being fired.

The Canes lost Bunting (13), TDA (3), Noesen (14), Pesce (3), Skjei (13), Teravainen (25), Guentzel (8), Kuznetsov (2), who accounted for 81 of Carolina's 277 goals (29.2%) last season.

They were replaced with Blake (0), Carrier (6), Gostisbehere (7), Robinson (3), Roslovic (9), Walker (10), who scored a combined 35 goals last season.  

I'm not going to comment on this- make up your own mind.

    • Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies     
    • You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
    • Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
