Game 27: Carolina Hurricanes (15-10-1) @ Tampa Bay Lightning (11-15-1)


Recommended Posts

The Canes travel to the Bay area as they take on the Lightning is a must win game for the Canes. Winnipeg is coming on strong and only trails the Canes by one point so if the Canes want to stay atop the division, they need a win tonight.

The Canes will have a new face in the line-up tonight as Adam Hall will be switching natural forces and joining the Hurricanes in the away locker room tonight.

The Canes will roll with the following line-up...

Jiri Tlusty - Eric Staal - Alexander Semin

Jeff Skinner - Jordan Staal - Patrick Dwyer

Drayson Bowman - Riley Nash - Jussi Jokinen

Adam Hall - Tim Brent - Tim Wallace

Jay Harrison - Justin Faulk

Tim Gleason - Joe Corvo

Joni Pitkanen - Jamie McBain

Justin Peters

Dan Ellis

Inactive: Tuomo Ruutu, Bobby Sanguinetti, Kevin Westgarth

Injured: Chad LaRose (concussion), Cam Ward (MCL)

The Lightning will roll with Mathieu Garon in net who has a record of 2-7-0, unfortunately for the Canes; Garon's two wins have come against the Canes.

As far as injuries go, the Lightning will be without Vincent Lecavalier, Benoit Pouliot, and possibly Tom Pyatt.

It's time to get back on track...

LET'S GO CANES!!!

    • I personally think Bryce is going to be an extremely good Quarterback for a long time. If you look at modern QB development, it just takes a while. The extreme athletes can get by early, but if you look at the trajectories of guys the last 10 years, were seeing a lot of slow-cooking. Jared Goff, Geno Smith, Baker, Sam Darnold, Trevor Lawrence. The list is long.  The guys that were truly special from Day 1 is an extremely short list. The list of things that college quarterbacks are responsible for gets shorter by the day with the transfer portal, and the college offenses. The list of things that NFL Quarterbacks are responsible for seems to get longer and longer each season.  I saw an interview the other day in which a rookie quarterback and center were calling plays for the offense.  I can't remember the team or the Quarterback, but I definitely remember the clip. It takes time, even for the smartest and most gifted, and the reality is, we have no idea how good or bad the coaching may be until we hear things we aren't supposed to hear anyway.  Bryce isn't perfect, but I saw in another thread, his biggest struggle is risk/reward. That is something I only expect him to improve upon. His adjustments, ability to read a defense, and execution have been extremely good considering our rosters in his tenure here. Our offensive personnel and coaching were both so poor his rookie year that I'm not sure it's fair to properly evaluate that at all. Since that time, all we've seen from him is growth and progress. 
    • Not really.  The run defense has been solid except for the opening game and New England.  We shut Arizona's run game down, but early turnovers hurt.  And of course, we shut out Atlanta.    
    • True, Bryce having a weaker arm wouldn’t be a big deal if it was paired with… Great accuracy, ball placement, etc. But it’s not.  Bryce has consistently done 2 things all 3 seasons.  One of the lowest completion % in the NFL each year,  one of the highest bad throws % in the NFL.    Then you can get into his unwillingness to stress a D and how that has allowed safeties and DBs  cheat coverage making the small ball so many QBs enjoy a tougher task.
