I have notices something and have realized why the Pens have had their way with our team....

We do not have a leader on defense...We do not have that old salty defenseman to be the voice of our defense. Honestly who is our leader on defense? Corvo? Gleason? Pitkanen? Look at every good team in the NHL. They all have a older defensemen who is a team leader...Detroit has Lidstrom, Pitsburgh has Gonchar, the Bruins have Charro and Ward.

I hope that someone will step up and be a leader on our defense.....old adage works....Offense wins games but DEFENSE wins Championships....

PS when the season is older i will post out FA list and who is out there we can get to help us next year.

I guess Wallin could be considered our defensive leader based on the fact that he's been here before and he's older. But from everything I've heard about him, he is a pretty quiet guy. I think you are correct for part of the reason we have been worked this series, but not the entire reason.

I am just saying that is the biggest reason...defensive liability

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By Icege · Posted

      "If only Bryce were <height>", he'd <insert stupid thing here>" was the bit and in direct response to multiple posters ridiculously blaming Bryce (and only Bryce) for the punt returns vs. New England. :3 I understand that folks desire balance, hence the "Bryce stans vs. Bryce haters" narrative but it's abundantly clear that the only people going into threads just to talk about Bryce are the haters. Meanwhile, daring to disagree that Bryce was completely at fault for something that happened on special teams gets the "stan" label. Shoot, I'm sure folks lump me in as a Bryce stan (Brycen stan? Absolutely. Bryce stan? Nah) just because I have the audacity to look at what the rest of the team is and isn't doing. 😛

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ Walker is the only QB in the Tepper era the Panthers managed to find wins with.  Only QB w/ a winning record.    PJ had success in pro ball before the Panthers.  He he had NFL tools.    He just is consistent and unreliable.  PJ Walker is what you call a bad/poor man's gunslinger.  He can provide highs and lows both virtually guaranteed.  He is NFL depth.  Bryce Young hasn't proven to improve a teams chances of winning better than the PJ Walker tier of QBing. PJ Walker can do things Bryce Young can't......and that a problem

      There isn’t but the thing is the team/system/staff around the QB ultimately dictates how successful that QB can be. You have Baker getting released midseason here vs playing like a MVP on another team. Darnold on the Jets/Panthers vs Vikings/Seahawks. Geno Smith on the Jets vs the Seahawks vs the Raiders. Mac Jones is looking as good as Purdy on the 49ers. You have to build a roster, culture, and system for these guys.  Obviously the QB has to be the leader and help elevate the team, but we are seeing what moving a “bad” QB to a stable franchise looks like. Daniel Jones might be doing the same but it’s too early to tell.
