I am so sick of hearing the Versus announcers sing the Pens praises over and over, it isn't how well they are playing, it's how badly we are. We looked like we were on a Sunday drive out there tonight. The Hurricanes have had absolutely no fire out there.

Folks, if they aren't going to even try, I am not going to bother to watch. I doubt there will be a game 5, but I am not watching any more hockey unless there's a game 7 in this series.

Well hopefully they do better Tuesday. Going to be hard to win 4 in a row but I wont doubt this team.

I'm a die hard Canes fan bro. Have been since day one. But it's officially over. We might pull out one or two, but there is no way we can hang four in a row on them. The Pens are on fire, the best I've EVER seen them play. They are owning us in every way.

It was a nice, unexpected run in the playoffs, but I think our ship has sailed.

Hopefully we can keep Ruutu and Jokinen and sign a FA or two. Would love to see a good, solid stay at home defenseman and maybe even see us take a shot at Havlat. They gave us a great ride this season, so I'm thankful for that, thankful to have seen them play every home game in the first and second series and happy that we shut a lot of people up in the process, just not our year.

I just want to know where our energy was in this game??? Any goalie in the NHL will lose when they have to stop 40 plus shots.....Are the Pens this much better than us? No they are not. They are just playing better than us and we are making DUMB mistakes.

Can we win FOUR GAMES in a row? We can but we got to play near perfect hockey for it too happen. We werent even supposed to be in the playoffs, much less get this far....We are playing tight....and the Canes dont play tight... We need to take the two days of and loosen up mentally. JUST GO PLAY!!!!

PS The CAnes are the only team to bring a professional Championship to the state.....

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
