How important is it?

Hunt's the #1 seed going into the second round Friday night against West Carteret. Hunt sucks when it comes to support and people showing up for games. WC is rolling into Hunt with 9 busloads of students and a 160+ marching band unit. Our stadium is going to be completely taken over. No way our band can compete with only 25 members.

The only thing I question is them being invited to perform at the half.

Football is played by the teams, not the fans. Home field advantage can be big, but usually only on the first defensive series or two, or late in a close game.

At this point, all the teams have seen a good deal of teams and several different situations. Unless you have a bunch of Seahawks fans showing up from Seattle, it probably won't matter if you did have as many or more fans than WC.

WC is good, but Hunt has played ball all year long. Good playing along the line on both sides and solid coaching, from all I have heard. Hunt should win if it is the same Hunt that has been on the field all year. WC is very vanilla. Wouldn't be surprised by an upset, if Hunt's kids are easily intimidated by support from traveling fans. But I just don't see that happening.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
