Justin Peters in net. Also Mastumoto called up from Charlotte for center the 4th line. O'sullivan the healthy scratch. We need this win tonight. We win on the road and have yet to not even score a goal at home. We need to win all the road games until we get out of this home funk. Go Canes!

It doesn't seem like this team can hang with the big boys of the east. I don't know what the hell Peters was doing laid out on the first goal. Where is the "super star" Stall. Maurice needs to find a way for this team to get across the blue line and keep pressure on. The dump and chase is not working well enough. That said bring on the Islanders!

If not for Staal, we'd be losing TOP by even more. He's been dominant deep in the opponent zone. He alone had or could have had at least 3 or 4 chances off of plays he made keeping the puck deep.

Me personally, I love Sergei Samsonov to death..one of my all-time favorite NHL players (even before he came to Carolina) BUT...he is becoming the Dwayne Robertson of the NHL...dude just needs to friggin' pass more. Tired of him trying to out dangle all 5 of skaters on the opposing team. I just keep having flashbacks of Mighty Ducks 2 "YYYEEHAAAWW" everytime he cuts.

The problem with this team is they do not play like a unit. Anytime we are in the offensive zone, every player is essentially a freelancer. Everyone appears to be more self interested. This is to be expected of a young team because they still need to learn how to work as 1 unit.

One good thing I can take is that our young guys aren't afraid to carry the burden. There is a fine line between being selfish and being aggressive. Our boys need to find a way to walk on that line, because right now they are unsure.

That's exactly what the issue is. Staal and Larose have trust...so they perform well, Cole and Skinner do well because they have a bond...once the others get into the flow, this team can start to improve.

      DJ Moore trade talk

      He’s kind of overrated to be honest. Never really felt like a true #1 or elevated his play to become a guy the defense really has to worry about.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.

      there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.
