Have any of you guys been keeping up with the Conference Standings at all? I know they don't mean a whole lot right now, but it's so tight that there's only two near-certainties.

1. Boston makes the playoffs.

2. NY Islanders miss the playoffs.

I know it probably won't end up this way, but right now we're in 8th in the East..the last playoff spot. We've been moving around a little bit, but here's my question. Do you think it's likely that the Southeast Division will have two playoff teams? Washington is playing so well right now, they are going to be near impossible to catch, barring some kind of collapse. Florida is right on our ass, just one point behind. I'm just afraid that when/if the Penguins get out of this funk they're in, that we're going to get pushed out.

Thoughts?

Yeah I'm a huge hockey fan since I live in Raleigh have a ticket package, played hockey etc. and I keep up with standings. The Southeast, you heard it here first, will at least have two playoff teams but will have a third that sneaks in, the Panthers.

Unless we go on a run and someone the craptials start blowing there is really no shot we get the SE. I just want the 4th playoff spot for home ice advantage really.

BTW offtopic, I was in charlotte tailgating, etc. yesterday and was wondering how the game vs boston was. I know we got whipped but how did we play who played well etc.

I wasn't able to watch the game, but it had to have been terrible. I have my phone set to send me a text everytime there is a score in a Hurricanes game.

I was in the middle of a pretty serious phone conversation, and the text alerts were driving me insane, because they seemed to come through every two minutes.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
