Reporting from Tampa

For you, the GOOD news is that Raymond James Stadium has one of the best drainage systems in the NFL. The BAD news is that it won't matter, Pansies still lose... :P

Congrats on the first "pansies" comment of the regular season. Looks like I will be changing your name to Mr. Original.

Hope it isn't anything like the Jags game...

First the roof cleaner was saying we wouldn't be able to handle the heat, and now he is saying we can't handle the rain. Are the Buc's like the ultimate weather team LOL?

It's nice you're in town Zod. The Panther's practiced south of Tampa in Bradenton (I am further south than that). They were on the local new here last night.

Raymond James does have excellent drainage. When there in person looking across the field at field level, you can see what looks like a hill in the middle. It will be slippery if it rain during the game, but all in all should be pretty good.

I want to see a well played game on both sides with no major injuries. Good luck. I still have no smack to talk as we aren't worthy yet. I hope for a big improvement this year.

    • So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.   
    • My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
