So far...

Ok, so I am well aware that the season is REAL young and there is a LOT of hockey to be played between now and April, but how are we feeling about what this season can potentially be?

Unfortunately, I haven't seen anything outside of highlights on ESPN because my college doesn't have FSS or VS (for some odd reason...) How are we looking? Mid-speed and physical or fast and exciting?

Based off of scores and what I gather from stats and what not, we're getting shots, just not getting in the net. Defensemen could play better, really the whole defensive side of the game could be better. Special teams has been average. Skinner has been impressive in 2 games. Cam Ward is...well, Cam Ward.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but not a bad way to start a year. I feel like we're only going to get better each week. As of now, we're sitting on top of the eastern conference and the rest of the league with those 4 points and sternly on top of the division. Looks good after a couple games, IMO.

Discuss.

We're good right now. Part of having a young team is inconsistency though. I don't think anyone can doubt we have the talent to compete for a playoff spot, but we are going to have to remain at least moderately consistent.

And if Wardo can stay healthy for the season, I certainly like our chances.

I was unable to see the second game due to a whacked out schedule but, in the first game the 'Canes were sloppy in the first and part of the second then seemed to gel throughout the rest of the game. We'll know who is who come December when everyone hits their stride.

I think the up coming west coast trip for the Canes will give us a better feel of how this team will be this season. I am very excited about the start and the 4 pts but after watching a few other games ( pitts and philly, caps and devils ) the Canes have work to do.

Cam will be vital to the Canes success this year. This young team can not lose their confidence or it may be a long season.

And Rutherford said this morning Skinner will be with Canes the remainder of the season. Won't be sent down.

Love the 4 pts early on cause as we all know every point counts when it comes close to playoff time. The Canes have a pretty tough month ahead as far as schedule goes. With all that said GO CANES!! Nothing like Carolina Hurricane playoff hockey!!!!!

    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
