Game 22: Carolina Hurricanes (12-8-1) vs. Buffalo Sabres (9-12-2)


Recommended Posts

Not even mad at Peters on that last one. That's on the play in front of him. They all got lazy and let him walk right in. Only so much the man can do. He stood on his head all night. He got the win. All that matters. Should have been a blowout, but we played like poo for at least half of the 3rd.

EDIT: Holy poo, didn't realize exactly how well Peters did. 40 shots against him, 37 saves. I'll take that all night, considering he didn't give up one until the 3rd and the last one came in garbage time with shitty play in front of him. Awesome job!

Buffalo really brought the house in the 3rd. Even though we dominated the game, it still felt like we escaped with the win.

We definitely got lazy in the last 10 minutes or so. Peters won this for us, because he faced a LOT of shots in the 3rd (faced 40 all game, and 18 of those came in the 3rd). Had we not gotten lazy, that's a 4-2 or even a 4-1 win. Gotta close out games the way you start them. Maybe legs just got tired, but they need to get it together. We play a good team and we are in overtime or going away with an L right now instead of a W.

Fun fact from tonight: as of right now, we have the second longest active win streak (4) behind Chicago (9). Hottest team in the Eastern Conference. I like that.

    • Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.  
    • Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO. 
    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
