This series has absolutely taken a turn for the worst. One thing we can not forget, though, this series is still even. As badly as we have played, we have no more to lose than they do. Everyone is expecting them to win, and win big. We need to come out hot, we NEED to score first. Boston plays good defensive hockey, so coming from behind will be difficult. I have full faith in the Canes tonight.

Let's Go Canes!!

I'm at work and the realtime update is stuck. Did Boston just score AGAIN?

Rule is if a goalie makes a play for the puck by going outside his box, the faceoff should be at center ice. Boston's goalie went for the puck and was out of his box, but another player touched it. The faceoff should've been at center ice, but instead was at carolina's end. The result is a goal for Boston and more money in the ref's pocket from the league.

No they didnt score again.

The fuggin officials have given this series to Boston. They just gave them a damn goal and it shouldn't have been. We were owning the play in their end of the ice and that just sucked the damn wind right out of us.

We can't even play our game because we have no confidence in anything we do because of the officiating. Thanks alot NHL, your wet dream of a Boston, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Chicago final 4 has come true.

It's 1-0...Boston got a free faceoff in our zone off an icing call that should have been nullified out to center because Thomas left the circle to play it. Unfortunate.

Worst call I've ever seen. Favortism at its finest. Its time for us to play THEIR damn game and start putting our skates down their throat no matter the penalty. I'm not excusing our bad play in games 5 & 6, but these calls have come at the worst time.

I completely agree. Powerplay upcoming by the way. The thing is, like Forslund and Trip said, they didnt even discuss it. Terrible.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      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.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By Seltzer · Posted

      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.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      I personally think Bryce is going to be an extremely good Quarterback for a long time. If you look at modern QB development, it just takes a while. The extreme athletes can get by early, but if you look at the trajectories of guys the last 10 years, were seeing a lot of slow-cooking. Jared Goff, Geno Smith, Baker, Sam Darnold, Trevor Lawrence. The list is long.  The guys that were truly special from Day 1 is an extremely short list. The list of things that college quarterbacks are responsible for gets shorter by the day with the transfer portal, and the college offenses. The list of things that NFL Quarterbacks are responsible for seems to get longer and longer each season.  I saw an interview the other day in which a rookie quarterback and center were calling plays for the offense.  I can't remember the team or the Quarterback, but I definitely remember the clip. It takes time, even for the smartest and most gifted, and the reality is, we have no idea how good or bad the coaching may be until we hear things we aren't supposed to hear anyway.  Bryce isn't perfect, but I saw in another thread, his biggest struggle is risk/reward. That is something I only expect him to improve upon. His adjustments, ability to read a defense, and execution have been extremely good considering our rosters in his tenure here. Our offensive personnel and coaching were both so poor his rookie year that I'm not sure it's fair to properly evaluate that at all. Since that time, all we've seen from him is growth and progress.
