Tulsky. Got players that had no business being top players.  Janko. Roslavic. Carrier. Robinson.  Analytics got players that fit what we do with the money we had. With 30 mill nest year, let’s see what he cooks up.  
 

also, give Rod some credit. Yes I know said fire rod but he needs at least 1 more year. ESP with the players Tulsky is about to deliver.  
 

I didn’t think we would make the playoffs. They did.  NOT ONE PERSON HERE WOULD HAVE SAID THIS RAG TAG BUNCH WOULD EVEN BE IN THE ECF.  

next year is rods real make or brake with 30 mill in cap space. 
 

Relax. No need to melt down anymore.

We had the 7th best odds to win the cup going into the season.

Caniac Nation has retconned this idea that we never had a chance this year. And, most of that has come from Rod himself. He has consistently shitted on his roster to anyone who would listen.

I'm guessing TD gave him an ultimatum going into this year and Rod was trying to cover his ass for when his team collapsed again.

Even if you believe it, you don't come out and say, "we got worse" in public for all your players to hear. And he kept doing it all year.

Just the other week, "we don't have those sexy players, yet."

7th best odds with Necas (and to a much lesser extent, Drury). Unfortunately that trade made us worse because Mikko is a little bitch.

He’s about to be 0-12 in the conference finals and we’ve been outscored 16-4 in this series after only losing 2 games the previous two rounds and looking really in control of the series. There’s major red flags here as to why he seems so overmatched once he gets to a certain level. There comes a point where “just getting there” isn’t good enough. We are at that point.

Maurice coached RBA for years, he knows him well. 

RBA needs some different voices around him.

Yeah, I don't think there's enough attention for this. Rod learned a lot of his stuff from Maurice and they run the exact same style of hockey. The difference is they have way more talent than Carolina. 

Honestly the worst possible matchup for us

Agree that the Panthers were the worst possible matchup for the Canes.

Another perspective - Canes finished 10th in points in the league during the regular season (had been as high as 5th I believe at one point). Canes finished in the top four in the playoffs. The disappoint stems from how they blew through Devils and Caps so our expectations they just might win it all.

A bummer. I just want a win against the Panthers.

major props to Tulsky. Without him, we don’t have a roster of guys to make the playoffs. Let’s see what he does with an actual 30 mil 

Tulsky screwed the pooch with Rantenen by signing him without a long term contract- the fact Mikko apparently didn’t want one should have been a dead giveaway he didn’t want to be here. Just don’t make that mistake again.

You assume Tulsky is the one who wanted this trade. I believe Dundon is the one behind the trade, think about it.

MVP is Slavin for every game we should have lost because he singlehandedly stopped several good chances by himself lol. 

 

If we don't have a different system in place next season which allows for more consistent threats of scoring, I've lost all hope. We're strong as hell defensively because of our system and the concept of wearing the opponent out until they make a mistake isn't a bad strategy to implement...it just can't be the only thing you do. The amount of cross crease passes that led to goals that Florida got on us and the fact that we seldom if ever get similar chances is telling.

Truthfully, the canes are so strong on defense is because of the system. It makes forwards play 200 feet. Offense and Defense.  While I agree I hope they open it up, I doubt that will ever happen.

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
