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.

I agree with literally all of that, the canes strategy for scoring under rod has always been spray and pray.... 

It's just not viable late in the playoffs IMO

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By Luciu5 · Posted

      Eh maybe. I'm pretty positive just in general. I don't post a lot here because it's a hostile environment if you try to have any kind of measured take. So it's just not worth contributing here. When I do post, I usually never come back to check replies because I really don't want to hear some of the absolute braindead stuff people here say. Mostly hyperbole and exaggeration, but it doesn't add poo to say stuff like "Bryce can't throw more than 5 yards", which is a common statement made here. Why don't they be honest and say "Bryce can't throw 60 yards down the field." Anyway, it's pretty rare to get any kind of decent conversation here so I'll share my piece every once in a while and not come back to see the poo emojis. I bet there's plenty of people here who read and keep up on things but don't post. Why post when the community is just going to run you off?

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By strato · Posted

      I never wanted him. Have said why plenty. Mistake. Major mistake.    But I am not completely unreasonable and went with the door is closed barring a major turnaround.    I mean without a doubt turnaround. And the Bryce fans without a doubt, my criteria.  That means no opening quarter meltdowns no ridiculously bad ball security.  His worst game still needs to have redeeming series and some plays are still made.   A sub par game still is competitive and doesn’t sink the team.  And those need to be rare. His normal game needs to actually show some real deal NFL ability. It needs to be good. And his great games need to rock.

      I picked 3rd but I think it's still open until the end of the season.  I was kind of between 2 and 3 as well.
