Alright guys, I won't be here with you tonight because I made the trip down from college to come back home so I could go to the game tonight.

Because there is not much info out yet, this game day thread is going to be a little makeshift.

Any who, tonight is an important one. The SED lead is riding on this game and once again the Canes will be missing a lot of bodies. Skinner, Brent, and McBain are definitely no goes and as far as I know, so are Pitkanen and Gleason. However, Skinner did skate this morning in a yellow (non-contact) jersey.

The lineups have not been announced but a few people have leaked info that Andreas Nodl will be the healthy extra tonight (not sure why, as he has been playing great so far) and Jeremy Welsh will be centering the fourth line.

The Canes will roll with Dan Ellis in net tonight (thank God) and his counterpart will be Mathieu Garon who happens to be 1-3 on this young season (his only win on the season comes against the Canes).

In other news, the Lightning will be without Ryan Malone tonight as they have sent him to IR.

With that said... GO CANES

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
