Although we sorely lack depth, I'm happy for Boychuk. I've been behind him for years. He's finally getting a great shot here. Im also glad McBain is getting the scratch. I still like Peters over Ellis as the backup though. He was on fire last season. I hope Dalpe picks up where he left off 2 seasons ago.

I don't think depth is that big of a problem, really. We have plenty of talent in Charlotte that can be called up if need be. We still need another solid forward or two to really be out of the "we need depth" issue talk all together, but it's not as bad as we may think. I'm more worried about our d-men. If you are scared about depth and ability anywhere in the organization, look no further than that. Our next draft, we need to hit big there.

As far as the game goes, I think we take this one pretty convincingly. Gotta think the guys are chomping at the bit to get off to a hot start, and I think we just have more talent than Florida. Long as our d-men and Cam don't make too many mistakes, we're set for a 1-0 start.

Why are we so determined to put the 2 most physical dmen together and the 2 other scoring dmen together for the top 2 d lines? Why don't we mix it up and have 1 physical dman with 1 scoring dman on all 3 lines?

Honestly, if we're putting our best two physical d-men together...why not on the 3rd pairing where they get minutes with our bottom 6? I wish we would mix it up some. Makes for more awesome plays, but it also causes inconsistency from shift to shift. It'd be nice to always have that blue line threat, regardless of which pairing was out there, while also having that guy down in the dirty areas in our own zone that can grind pucks out and clear the front of the net.

I'm okay with the depth chart as long as it's working, and wouldn't be surprised if it changes a good amount during the season.

A) You're killing us Ruutu.

B) Go Canes! Every game will have significant impact this year - especially games like these against a division opponent.

edit: Didn't realize B ) was an emoji - but that was B lol.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      This thread is turning into bizarro world. Most of the anti-Bryce crowd was heavily pro CJ Stroud so I am confused how that ties into any racial element.  Not saying we still don't have some of that crowd in here but it's not like the Prime Cam years where this place was rife with those types.  The anti-Bryce sentiment SEEMS to MOSTLY be rooted in his underwhelming physical stature/abilities and/or his underwhelming overall career to date. All this being amplified by the massive trade haul we gave away for him. So, technically we have missed the opportunity to draft Jaden Daniels AND passed on CJ Stroud. Fairly or not, Bryce hasn't measured up to those type of players at all.

      Because 2 coaches have not allowed him to do it.  And in a real Hail Mary scenario the throw is  further than the clip shown and likey doesn’t allow a clean setup. You can’t go over the top.  So you have to let WRs get downfield and the technical throw is going to be further and as you have to drop back to by time and likely won’t have an ideal setup.

      I can’t stand silent any longer.. He has s sickness.  It will defy any logic people try to bring.  He tried to deny us the freedom of having a negative opinion of a player simply by the color of our skin. Yet we have positive opinions of many black players  Love some of them   I guess they must be house *you know the word* if we like them   I bring it to this: let’s say you are black. are there black people that you don’t like? I brt there are.  But no white people are allowed to dislike them? Because they are maybe shitty people of shitty players or there is just something about them you don’t line. We have to drop this way of thinking.
