As we all know by know, Dan Ellis declined the contract offer that the Hurricanes gave him and for the first time, JR spoke on the goaltending situation saying the following to Chip Alexander (Hurricanes beat writer)...

 

He (Rutherford) said there likely would be no trade for a goalie, noting the Canes "probably" would go with Justin Peters as Cam Ward's backup next season.

Bryzgalov would be nice, but I'm a huge fan of Ellis' especially after all that he has gone through to get back to the NHL.

 

I personally think a combination of Ward/Ellis would be a pretty good tandem. 

 

Ellis seems to be a better overall player than Peters, and it's not that I don't like Peters; but I think he is more of an AHL starter than an NHL backup.

 

Ellis also played some really good hockey when his primary role was backup net-minder.

Peters showed flahes this year, after being thrown to the wolves.  He could turn into something.

 

Ellis is at his peak now, which is just OK.  He's not someone worth getting into a bidding war over.

 

I'd rather see if Peters can be a star, than go with a mid tier back up who has no further upside.  We can get someone of Ellis' level if Peters ends up busting.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      5 straight completions in the 4th quarter to get into the red zone and then score a stand up rushing TD and celly in one of the best defenses faces to bring the score within 1 possession against the super bowl champs is "stunned" to you?

      yes, if you read what I said - that was due to his record breaking 245 yard 4th quarter performance in garbage time when the Seahawks were already celebrating. If Bryce puts up big numbers in the 4th quarter, people like you are quick to call it garbage time stats but seem to get selective when other QB's do it because it doesn't fit your narrative.  also, I'm logical enough to admit that Drake is a great QB and his performance had a lot to do with his protection, play calling, and other aspects. The game does not fall completely on the QB. Just like how the Panthers were still in the game vs Seattle until Horn's penalty changed that. It is a team sport, so many factors, players, refs, coaches are involved and it only takes one thing to change the game. the obsession with Bryce is just nauseating at this point and if you pay attention on here, it's the same 10 users quoting and pieing each other. it's super weird and everywhere else you go, opinions on Bryce are trending upwards. the way the season ended, the vibe at the stadium, the performance, should have everyone excited about this next season. Idk, maybe I just look at life and my entertainment outlets differently than others.
