Canes Vs Sens Round 1 Game 1 Saturday 3pm


Recommended Posts

The Griot's Garage & Good Guys Car Show is on the fairgrounds Friday & Saturday. A lot of nice cars, a lot of 60s and early 70s muscle. I usually go, but the traffic and parking is going to be a nightmare with a hockey game going on.

I go to that big car show every year!

I go as well, but skipping this year with the game time Saturday. If I was going to the game, I'd spend the day over there before the game. Always looking for a deal, but last year there wasn't much of anything for sale.

Seems the national media is all saying canes lose.

I don’t understand why. 4-2 Canes win. 

Goaltending. How unpredictable Carolina's is versus how steady Ottawa's is. 

Everything, success and defeat in this post-season, will be based on goaltending.

Typically this is how the playoffs tend to work. However, ET has been preaching for years that Vezinas dont win cups anymore. To his point, this year save percentage had the lowest correlation to winning for any NHL season going back to, I think, 2000.

Basically, all the top goalies are sitting at home right now.

Then again, SCP are a whole new season. Hell, considering the changes in how the game is called, it might as well be a different league.

We have been doing something this year that the canes haven't had in rods playoff run....scoring.  They can score this year.  That keeps up and they get goalie play, see in you in the SCF.   The PP being hard as a rock right now is the bonus and x factor.

    • Would Morgan or Beason have been HOFers' if injuries hadn't derailed their careers?  I was not a close watcher of the game when Morgan was in his prime but I thought Beason had a few seasons at close to Lukes' level of play.
    • Franchise QBs feast when things are rolling and the tide that raises boats when things are going sideways.  Bryce isn't that. He's a complimentary player, that's it.  When the defense and STs are on point, he plays loose and it shows.  When we are in a dog fight and things haven't gone our way, he struggles.  It's that simple. He's not a horrible QB, but he's not top tier either.  So the question begs, is this worthy of a second contract?  The answer should be no.  It definitely is my answer. Bryce will never be a QB that can produce wins largely on his arm.  That's a FRANCHISE QB, any other QB is simply a placeholder at the starter's position until that guy can be found.   At some point the excuses of lack of weapons will be a straw man.  Heck, it's nearly there now.  I mean if he doesn't look even better than last year will we blame it on the TE position?  'Well if Bryce only had a player like Kelce, Kittle or Gronk on this team...'  Are we really going to do that?  
    • When I arrived at college, I was 18, not too much younger than some of these draft picks.  It was not a huge school, but there were guys on the team who were 21, 22, 23....playing ahead of me.  I was seventh on the depth chart.  Those guys have been through a few seasons, were stronger, more knowledgeable.  I was a better raw player than some of them, but those other factors matter.  As I grew stronger, more familiar with the playbook, and learned what it was like to play in college, I gradually improved and with that, I rose up the depth chart.  It took most of my freshman year for the light to come on.  Had the coach thrown me into the starting lineup day 1, I would have probably failed.    And that was college.  So I agree with you based on my experience on a much lower level.  Frankly, I think that is why so many kids drafted to fill huge gaps bust.  The teams are desperate.  Anyone who looks to fill vacancies in the starting lineup through the draft is desperate.  You draft depth to develop.  For this reason, I say, "Let Walker start for a while."  Maybe Brazzell can be our WR 4.  Throw Hunter into a rotation and ask him to do one or two things.  Freeling needs some strength and he needs to work on run blocking.
