3/25/2013 Carolina Hurricanes Practice


Recommended Posts

So obviously we don't have practice threads, but since it has been nearly a week without Hurricanes hockey; I figured I would make a thread to keep everyone in the loop of what's going on.

First things first... everyone knows that Zach Boychuk is back with the Hurricanes organization after a struggle at the NHL level with Pittsburgh and Nashville. Well in Zach's first game back with Charlotte, he potted a goal in the Checkers 4-2 win; so congrats to Zach on that.

Secondly, Riley Nash was reassigned to Charlotte during the break and while in Charlotte he recorded two goals and an assists. Nash has since been recalled by the Hurricanes. Welcome back Riley.

Now for practice...

Jorge Alves was the backup goalie for practice (I believe Alves played at NCSU), but Muller said they will recall John Muse tomorrow to back up Peters.

Today the Canes got a familiar face back in the line-up in Chad LaRose and on top of that Muller started putting some new line combos out there.

Here is what the Canes looked like in practice...

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
