i can remember my daughter playing basketball in middle school. her team lost every single game. they were horrible. they couldn't shoot. they couldn't pass. they couldn't dribble. they couldn't defend. they couldn't do anything related to basketball when it came time to play basketball.

then came playoff time. having a winning or losing record didn't matter. all the teams played for the championship.

i, along with all the other parents who stuck it out with their daughters thru what was the most ridiculous attempt at playing any sport that has ever been witnessed, expected a one and done go home and enjoy the rest of the afternoon playoff run.

but that didn't happen.

they won their first game.

then the next.

then the next.

before you know it, they were playing for the championship and playing their hearts out down to the last remaining seconds. the entire gymnasium was yelling, screaming, crying, and laughing...not because the girls were winning, but because for one day they weren't carrying the pain and aggravation of an entire season on their shoulders.

you could see it on their faces, and you couldn't help but be happy for them.

that's what i want for my carolina panthers today.

not just a win against arizona, but for them to play so well that the dirt of this season is knocked off their shoulders.

even if they lose the next 2 remaining games of the season, i want this game to be the one they remember and are proud of.

GO PANTHERS!

      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

      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.
