Big game tonight. The top team in the league playing at (one of) the hottest team in the league right now. Carolina clawing their way towards a playoff push looking to extend an impressive home streak. Staal Wars... Marc vs Eric, first time they've been on the ice together since Eric gave him the concussion...

...and Fox Sports Carolinas is showing the Women's ACC Tournament. SMDH!:mad:

Have to have NHL Pass or find less than legal ways to watch. (PM me)

Good scoreless 1st period by both teams; shots, blocks and hits are all pretty even, both teams are playing good defense and both are 0-1 on the PP.

Eric Staal had a great second chance shot that clanked off the post right before the horn.

We start the 2nd with right at 1 minute left on our first Power Play.

fug!

They tie it up on a sick shot through McBain's legs.

Then a defensive breakdown leads to a flurry of shots on Cam, but we survive...

Then Skinner tries to Board Marc Staal and gets a penalty...

Then gets his ass beat by half the Ranger's lineup and is the only one who goes off the ice.

WTF???

I have a feeling this game is going to be decided in the next [e]11[/e] minutes.

Whoever said luck doesn't play a part in sports needs to watch this game over and over. We lose because of the most BS goal ever and BARELY missing on some goals. We're close boys. We're damn close. I know we all get tired of hearing it, but we're not far from being a scary contender in the Eastern Conference.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By poorboysrev · Posted

      Right...I think they've done really well. No one's going to bat 1000% but they've addressed areas of need and there's no comparison to the overall talent of the team now than when DC and then Morgan got the reigns. This whole season is about seeing how much of a step up can Bryce and this team make. If Bryce can't and last year is as good as it gets for him then at least we have a talented roster for the next guy. I think we're going to be good this season

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.

      IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.
