Asked how he came up with individual nicknames for "MonStrz Inc.'' -- a play on "Monsters, Inc.'' to hopefully avoid potential legal issues with the Disney Pixar animation: "I am really talented.''

 

On the player introduction dance he unveiled during Thursday's preseason finale: "I'm experimenting. That's just my hybrid engine mode.''

 

The potential is there. But so far Hardy has given nicknames only to the defensive front. In case you missed it, Hardy is known as "The Kraken."

The rest: DE Charles Johnson: Loch Ness; DT Dwan Edwards: Phoenix; DT Star Lotulelei: Hydra; DT Colin Cole: Big Predator; DE Mario Addison: Gargoyle; DE Frank Alexander: Leviathan; DT Kawann Short: Minotaur.

 

If you dig through his tweets, a must follow for Panthers fans, you'll find a picture of a Hardy T-shirt that says: "KEEP CALM and RELEASE THE KRAKEN.''

It really is a weird situation right now with Pat Y still being the NFC South guy along with doing the team reporting for the Saints, Bucs, and Falcons with our new guy David Newton handling the Panthers.

 

I think the plan is to have separate guys also for the Saints & Falcons (just not hired yet) and Yaz will be the Bucs guy and still handle the NFC South blog.  Seems like a conflict of interest though.

 

I don't he is going to poo on the Bucs since he is their team reporter (and I bet little ole Yaz is scared of Greg Schiano).  And of course, the Saints & Falcons are his teams so he is going to poo on us.

 

Since they are going the route of having a guy cover every team, just think they should reassign Yaz and has someone else do the NFC South overall or hire a Bucs guy

We gotta lock this guy up.  I know Keek gets a lot of credit, but I feel like Hardy and his attitude was a huge reason for that defensive turnaround last year.  I don't know what the fug happened to him last year, but the light bulb came on big time.

 

I remember he was crying after the Chicago game and, while it sucked we lost, it was awesome to see how much he really cared to go along with his performance.  The dude just had the best game of his career, yet here he was crying because we couldn't seal the win.

 

He instantly became one of my favorite players after that... and it didn't hurt that he kept getting more and more vocal as the season went on.

 

If we lose this Hardy I'ma be pissed.  Players with his mix of talent, passion, and crazy don't come around very often.

Clock's ticking on that new deal. Other team's have the same idea, too, with Sean Lee and Brian Cushing getting extensions. Hope it's done before game time.

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
