After 2 its 3-4. There powerplay is killing us. I look for Maurice to fix that for the final period. Were defenitley shooting... if we can just tighten up our defense I think we can sneak this one out 5-4 in regulation. Cole has another goal comming... wouldnt be suprised to see babchuck or corvo get one as well. Go Canes

I am not disappointed. They have been playing their asses off for once! Out of the last 7 games we have 4 wins, 2 over time losses (still 2 points for that) and one loss. Let alone they got penalized like crazy for a few games which at least 40% of those calls were a stretch. Then also the one game when all you heard was "CLINK" from the canes.

All in all a great effort. Unlike earlier in the season when they are down they are playing harder and its paying off!

I would say a month ago this team would not have gotten the tie. Yes its dissapointing that we couldnt score on that powerplay but there goalie was in the zone. Every other team underneath us fighting lost in the shootout as well. We have 2 points over Florida in the #9 spot... meaning its going to take 2 games to put us out of the playoffs. We still have our own destiny in our hands and we play 8 out of the last 11 at home. Washington is an amazing club... look at all the other contenders lose to the stinkers!!!! That should make you feel good especially with Florida loosing in there own building! All of them had 2 goal leads in the third. That is very encouraging for this last stretch. Its going to be great!!!! Go Canes!

Well i agree, but the way I think we get better is by having more of them. This way if we get in the playoffs we can win through them. However now its sit and wait. Sundays Ranger game is going to be huge. i will update daily... start hating me now... because i plan to post like crazy in the hockey section! Go Canes!

    • I have seen little inclination that they are laying down on him, that I can agree with. I don't think we are going to ever see much in the way of unfiltered opinions in the public realm from his teammates because that's extremely rare and extremely toxic behavior.  It's certainly a positive thing that they support him but, again, that doesn't make a successful NFL starting QB. Playing well on Sunday's does.  That is what has been lacking to date. He is not playing well consistently enough to be considered an NFL starting QB. He has to improve there. Be more consistent. Be more decisive. Make correct decisions more frequently. 
    • That's fine but for every Kurt Warner there are 10 Tony Banks that don't find their spot because....it never really existed.  Jake Browning was on and off practice squad teams for years until he stuck in Cincy. In his limited action over the past two seasons, he has played well enough that the Bengals panic traded for 41 year old Joe Flacco. It's easy to point to outliers like Warner or Purdy or Tom Brady as players who fell through the cracks because....well, they are outliers. The statistics over the long term have never really borne out the argument that every QB is just waiting for their perfect spot and situation. Most of these guys bounce around the league and it just never really clicks anywhere or they become marginal backup QB's. I don't think that exactly an accident. It's tough to be a starting NFL QB and it's why the hunt every offseason is so frantic. There are just so few that do it at a high level. My guess is that a theoretical market for Bryce Young(today) is going to look a lot like that post Chicago Justin Fields market. Not a lot of interest and a late round pick value at the highest. And a lot of that IS going to be his average to below average physical traits. It's extremely tough to be in that range and excel in the NFL. And it's precisely because you DO have to be closer to perfection to make up for the fact that you can't do a lot of the things that the elite to above average starters in this league do. 
    • Im never not impressed by how confidently wrong you are. I've watched probably 200 NFL QBs play live. This talk about Bryce's arm strength is retarded, pure and simple. Bryce can make every throw an NFL QB needs to make in any circumstance. Does he have an arm that makes you go wow all the time? No, but very few QBs truly do. Bryce has plenty of zip on the ball when he wants. That TD to XL was a frozen rope. He throws to the opposite hash and outside all the time with no problem. Bryce's arm is objectively stronger than Cam's post-injury. I've seen both live multiple times and I know. And Cam could still play QB well without his rocket launcher. OPs point remains. QB success relies on a lot of nebulous things. Obviously you dont like Bryce. But his success is not going to be bc he doesn't have the arm strength. Its embarrassing this is a thing. Go to some games and actually educate yourself.
