We should all take some lessons from the youth...

It wasn't even half-time yesterday before I started to have my doubts. My mood drastically changed. My son, sitting beside of me, looked up to me and said, "Don't get sad. We might lose today but they play again next week." Those words calmed me and we made it through the rest of the game.

Afterwards, on our way to Bojangles for some chicken Panthers talk on the radio, my son looks at me and said, "We beat them up last year. They were just mad and wanted to beat us up today. We didn't want to win as much as they did." If only we all could view our team through the eyes of a 4-year-old.

I have never swayed my loyalties from my team since that first game in franchise history my parents took me to. But I get so caught up in the day of one game, I don't think about the other 16 weeks of the season. My 4 year old corrected my course.

It was one game. And yes we looked worse than any of us thought. But as my kid put it, once you get beat up, you want to go out and beat someone else up. That's what our opponents get to look forward to in weeks to come.

I'm sticking with my 10-6 prediction. And I'm proud to do so. Everyone who has lost their poo over a single loss, clearly needs to stop and check their fan cards, I believe they may expire soon. But for us "life-time" members, we know things could be worse (1998, 2001, 2010).

If you expect this team to win for you every week of every season, maybe you should think about what the team expects from you... Unbreakable Loyalty!

I sat through 2010 I can watch this season lol....always hopeful but these next few games are rough

They seem pretty bad. But look at it this way. All 3 teams we face next see us like we saw the Bucs. So it could easily go the same way (This time in our favor). Cam and Co. will be out for blood next week, make my words.

    • Uggh forgot about that
    • I am curious to see if Warren is the elite player that the Huddle Warren stans believe. I am always fairly wary of these first round TE's.
    • The Rossi things isn't going away, either... https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/3312416/unfinished-business-7-players-to-watch-in-back-half-of-nhl-offseason The Wild and Rossi shouldn't be having any trouble hammering out an extension. Rossi, an RFA turning 24 in September, recorded the second-most points on the team last season (60 in 82 games). The smart, skilled, highly competitive 5-foot-9 Austrian is a homegrown top-six center. Minnesota has $10 million in cap space and no other significant spots to fill to finalize its 2025-26 roster. Problems lurk below the surface, however. Coach John Hynes demoted Rossi to the fourth line in the playoffs, dropping his nightly usage from 18 minutes in the regular season to 11 in the first-round series loss to Vegas. GM Bill Guerin's top to-do list item at the moment is to lock up Kirill Kaprizov. The superstar winger, who's been eligible for an extension since July 1, is due for Leon Draisaitl-type money (around $14 million average annual value) starting in 2026-27. Guerin has said there's no rush to sign, trade, or match an offer sheet for Rossi. If he stays, a short-term extension makes sense, since it gives both player and team flexibility. If he leaves, a trade is far more likely than an offer sheet. Half of the league could use a second-line center, and Rossi still has upside. The Hurricanes desperately need to upgrade at 2C (Jesperi Kotkaniemi isn't going to cut it) and have plenty of cap space. Ditto for the Sabres, who picked Jack Quinn one spot before Rossi went to the Wild in the 2020 draft. Mammoth bench boss Andre Tourigny coached Rossi in junior, and they don't have as much wiggle room, but trading top-six winger Nick Schmaltz (plus a pick) could make the math work. Guerin wants to make a so-called "hockey trade" here.
