Round 2- Carolina (6) vs. Boston (1)


17+89=6

Recommended Posts

The old Canes are back. The Bruins will win the series. Like I said before, Ward is inconsistant. Great for a game or two, then gives up 3-4 goals the next.

And like I said $hit-for-brains: It isn't all on him, his defense has been horrible the last two games. Blaming our entire performance on him is like blaming Jon Beason for the loss to the Cardinals.

God damn, learn the game before you try to sound like you know what you're talking about.

However, I don't see us winning the series, so at least you weren't a complete dip$hit for a few words of a sentence.

You know, ever since the Stanley Cup team, I've had this love/hate situation with the Canes. When they are actually playing, they seem to be the hardest working team in the NHL. But when they are bad, they are absolutely horrendous and look like they have no clue what is going on.

Paul Maurice's team seems to be following what he was always accused of. Instead of sitting back after picking up a lead in a game, they seem to be doing this in the series...and now they are choking it away.

I see an almost zero percent chance that they win the series in Boston. They are clearly being outclassed and gave up their chance to win this thing. I am so damn disappointed in this team.

So you're telling me it's Wards fault we aren't hitting? It's his fault we aren't screening Thomas? It's his fault the defense can't hold their positions to save their lives? It's his fault we are making stupid decisions?

Again, it isn't all on the goalie. The defense has broken down on 2 of the goals he's given up. 2 are all his fault, which means it SHOULD be 2-1. Not 4-1. Thank his piss poor defense for letting Boston just camp out in the slot all day and skate around at will.

Dissapointed is a huge understatement.

Goes back to what I said about Maurice in November. The guy is a mediocre coach at best and it's obvious his motivational techniques suck.

Cam hasn't been on point, but the defense has been really really really bad in this game. Sucks that we didn't show up for a big game like this. A chance to clinch a series at home that's this big. Bad showing by the canes. I think they can win the series, but not if they keep playing like this.

I was starting to think that the time away from coaching had taught him a few lessons, but it's obvious it hasn't. When you're up 3 games to 1, how do you choke this badly two games in a row?

I fully expect a close game on Thursday, with the Bruins winning by a goal or so. The team will play hard enough to compete, but the better team will win at home. A good coach would never allow the series to get to that point.

I couldn't agree more. Do you think this would have EVER happened to a Scotty Bowman coached team? I think not.

We have no killer instinct and it all stems from Maurices lackadasical style of coaching. The dump & run is not the answer.

    • 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
