Seems most fans are happy just being good and making the playoffs since I got lambasted on Twitter and Reddit for saying Rod has proven he can't win a cup as a coach. 19 downvotes and counting. Lmfao

Yup the casuals on Facebook ive gotten 85 laughing or angry emojis so far for pointing it out. 

The amount of them throwing a fit because the canes were booed is insane

Yes it's quite crazy. I said the fans should've thrown those damn towels on the ice. I wouldn't want to keep that damn thing after the way the team played. 

 

That's how real hockey towns treat their teams when they poo the bed. Look at any Canadian team for reference.

When a team has EXPECTATIONS you have to show them that your fandom and praise is EARNED. 

People would be mad if the they lost two one goal competitive games like 2023 but they wouldn't have gotten booed out of the building because the effort and competitiveness would be there but to lose in THAT fashion at home with your entire top line going free lance and saying fug this yeahhh.

Man it’s not even about losing to the Panthers again, it’s how they are losing that makes me think a coaching change is needed. Florida is physical, got into the player’s heads, and it’s the coach’s job to get his players ready to play. Brindamour has failed miserably in the Conference Championship 3 times now. The Hurricanes look like they don’t even belong in the playoffs let alone in the conference championship game. If these games were close like in 2023 we’d be frustrated but not embarrassed and that’s the difference in a coach keeping or losing their job.

I wouldn't be mad if we were losing by 1 or 2 and the games were hard hitting tightly contested games. I'd be frustrated and upset about losing,but I wouldn't be mad. 

 

Right now I'm pissed, Rod's decision making, his system of play, the consistent bad results in the conference finals. Then the team comes out at home and gets plastered 10-2 in the first two games... Yeah I'm mad at the results on the ice

And he's stubborn. Playing Morrow yet again despite him struggling mightily is just inexcusable.

Personally I’d give him one more chance with a loaded roster.

This year it felt like we were playing with a fringe first line, a third line, and two fourth lines. We definitely overachieved and I think the reason we are disappointed is because the end result is the same but we weren’t supposed to be here.

I’d give Rod one more go before moving on.

Yep.  Wheels fell off with Burns and Orlov too.  The team still managed to figure it out after the deadline and put together a good 2nd half.  We just got our hopes up like you do.

I don't think Rod is infallible or we should never fire him.  I just don't think this year is a very good reason.  I don't think anyone else behind the bench gets a better finish with this squad.

When will some of you realize it doesnt matter what the roster looks like. RBA has hit his ceiling. He is a terrible decision maker in the playoffs and the team always ends up looking moronic on their way out of the playoffs. We arent winning squat with him.

Honestly, never thought I would get here, but I'm with you.

Listening to the post-game, and holy poo!

Has Rod ever said, "this one's on me."

When asked about composure, he threw Staal and Martinook under the bus. "Those 2 can't be your best players."

Disregarding that he didnt answer the question, does he realize how that sounds to professional athletes?

When asked how you prepare for game 4, "I'm not even thinking about that."

Clearly, Rod.

Is that throwing them under bus or rest of team? He is saying those two were our best players and that can’t be the case if we are going to win.

Anyway, haven’t managed to see a single minute of this series and seems like I’m lucky. Losing is one thing, losing in this way, by this margin is unacceptable. Heads have to roll. But they won’t

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Icege · Posted

      I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Icege · Posted

      Just to be clear: I'm not "downplaying" the talent around Bryce... I'm qualifying it. There's a big difference between saying, "we finally have building blocks that we're actually developing" and "we've done enough to say this is a finished product, NO EXCUSES!" It's possible to believe that the 2023 situation was bad and to believe that the current state, while improved, is still incomplete. That's not inconsistency; that's nuance. As for the footwork stuff, again, I've seen the same clips as others. The claim that Bryce is hopping to see over the line just isn't one I've seen corroborated by analysts or tape breakdown. "Both feet off of the ground to throw" happens a ton for QBs (ex: Mahomes, Rodgers, Purdy, etc.), especially when improvising. You're right that there were some encouraging flashes from Bryce last season, and it's nice to finally hear that after so much time was spent pretending otherwise. I'm not arguing that Bryce is elite, I'm just asking that we evaluate him using consistent, measurable criteria to determine his status as a top-10 QB... whether it's via 3rd down %, red zone efficiency, turnover-worthy plays, or yes, big-time throws (which, by the way, has been a valid part of QB evaluation across the league for years even if it wasn't used here during Kyle Allen or Teddy Bridgewater's years. For reference: Allen had 20 BTT at a 3.9% rate. Teddy had 17 BTT at 3.3%). Like you, I'm hoping to see a competent, entertaining offense this season. That's a baseline we can all root for, even if we don't have the same baseline for what makes a QB top-10 (which, to be fair, is what this conversation has been about... though I respect the attempt to reframe it).

      [PFF] Tetairoa McMillan Will Unlock Bryce Young and the Panthers Offense!

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I am optimistic that we might be on the verge of fielding a sustainable offense finally. The Bryce stats listed above are definitely encouraging. I don’t want to overly inflate this and disregard the previous 1 and a half seasons of production from Bryce and “cherry pick” stats but do hope the benching turns into an inflection point in his trajectory.      Lots of excitement heading into this season.
