Canes had like 4 opportunities to score a goal and didn't. Good goal tending by the Pens. Defense didn't play their best and Ward, c'mon he's gotta block that one on one shot. It was too easy. 2 goals in 2 mintues is ridiculous. Ward and the rest have to play better, especially on power plays.

Ruutu and Cole are both out and hurt. Both with Knee injuries. Damnit.

That, and the 2-minute lapse in the first period are the only things that were really bad in this game. Unfortunately, the 2 minute lapse was enough for us to lose.

Hope Ruutu and Cole are ready to go on Thursday night....

Hard to win a game win you lose two forwards. Good game by the canes. just gave up some bad goals in the first period...one was defensive and one was a great shot by Malkin. Kept crosby in check. Looking for a long series as long as we get Ruutu and Cole back. Not sure who could step in to those positions if they are out...

We beat ourselves tonight. Canes will need to get it together, and hopefully not be without Colesy and Ruutu for too long.

Pittsburgh is definitely beatable. Marc Andre Fluery had the game of his life. He'll need to be that good (lucky) for them to win the series.

Ruutu will be needed, but Cole has been invisible most of the playoffs, I really don't think we will miss him too much if he does indeed have to sit.

I disagree. What Cole has lacked in scoring he has made up for in hits and hard work. We need both Cole and Ruutu to bring the physical game to be successful this series.

Fleury will not have the same performance.If we can still split this with them on Thursday we are in good shape. We almost pulled it out. I can fault the Malkin Goal on Cam. The other 2 though... the first he made the first move and that last one... damn just close those legs... Here hoping for a full 60 min Canes game come thurday night. Go Canes!

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.

      Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor.

      Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
