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!

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
