Stanky gonna be that dude for us.  Could easily see him being a core piece. 

He’s going to be given the chance to be a top 3 forward and a top line PP player here in Carolina for the rest of the season. Still under term for this year and next, then rfa for 2026 based on data from puck and sporttrac. 
 

so he’s definitely got a chance.

Top 10 goalie 

3-4 guys who are scoring on pace with the average teams best scorer, save for a few studs.

Team positioned safely in the playoffs as long as they don't blow key games this month.

 

Absolute meltdown by people for some reason.

I get not enjoying getting to the dance and then failing to go to a cup every year for the last 6 years....but we've made the conference finals twice in the last 6 years. 33% of the time since 2019, we're a top 4 NHL team. 

 

Again, perspective. This team reminds me a lot of 2019. It's all about putting it together and scoring consistently. If they can do it, they're gonna be really dangerous. Especially given our goaltending being typically strong.

To a hot Bruins team who lost in the SCF to an even better Blues team and then to the team that ran into the Vegas buzzsaw. Call it moral victories but poo, we weren't drummed out by bums.

 

Reaching the playoffs is tough. Doing it 6 straight years is tougher. Winning once there, again, hard. At the end of the day, we're frustrated at having a real good team that isn't putting it together in the playoffs lol

Rods system has its limits and until proven otherwise that is winning a game past the ECF....

 

0-8 is HUMILIATING no matter how you scratch it.

And then there was last year and losing three in a row to start the series vs the rags.

He found it today 

Yes he did although not a skill goal was nice to see.

Both the new guys seem to know to crash the net, that will do well in rods just throw everything on net scheme. 

 

No matter what happens this year I'm just not sure we have the skill to be a true contender.

I don't mean this rudely, and I'm sincere in saying that but text often comes off more blunt than I intend.

 

Your criticism of the goal not being a "skill goal", which leads me to believe you use this subjective eye test of goals to differentiate dirty goals from skill goals as a barometer of actual skill or talent, shows that you have a very odd view of hockey.

 

Hockey is a basic fuging sport. Put puck in net without interfering with goalie's body and without raising stick higher than crossbar. How it gets done absolutely does not matter.

People see prime Sid and Ovie and McJesus and think "that's what a great player is". No, that's what absurd talent is. That is generational talent we may not see again for years after they're gone. 

The Canes have been very inconsistent of late since January (10-5 that month). A really bad February (2-5) and so far, a good March (4-1).

We don't know what team we're taking into April. The Tampa game will tell us a bit more where we are right now.

 

Rod's system falls apart when teams do a good job of FORCING us into crashing the net. We don't do well with creating shooting lanes and when we do get them, we miss more than any of us would like. I think it's a mentality thing at the end of the day where we have an issue with shrinking when we fail at the good chances too many times. Crashing the net is, was and forever will be a viable scoring method. It's arguably the way most goals are scored. Getting rebounds and firing at open nets is far easier than sniping goalies glove or five hole. But true enough that open shot lanes are needed to be had and capitalized on so we're not hoping for bounces to go our way.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.

      Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
