Game 1: Hurricanes vs. Red Wings


Recommended Posts

Welp...

It's game day folks!!!

The Hurricanes will begin their quest for a Stanley Cup tonight against the Detroit Red Wings. The Red Wings are coming off of a 2-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres where Ryan Miller actually kept the score much closer than it should have been.

As far as the Hurricanes are concerned, they are flying under the radar this year and are featuring quite a few new faces, hopefully the sweet tea line (Tlusty - E. Staal - Semin) will continue their success as other players begin to step up.

P.S. I will be at the game as I made the trip down from Lynchburg for fall break so I will not be chatting with you guys tonight.

What: Carolina Hurricanes vs. Detroit Red Wings

Do you think Bellemore and Murphy genuinely beat out Komi for the defensive start or do you think Muller is giving them an early season look? It bothers me that he's the extra right now. Hopefully we can get Gleason back soon and hopefully he's in better shape than he was last year.

That's just what they have been going with in the morning skates.

The projected line up is based off of the Hurricanes depth chart and the tweets from Chip Alexander and Michael Smith.

    • I definitely respect your opinion more than Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, and Carmelo Anthony (whom I just watched on their show, all saying NOBODY wants to get the Hornets in the post-season). You win.
    • For all the good feelings about Bryce Young, when you read between the lines, it's what DC says and doesn't say that makes us know that Bryce hasn't necessarily been the supercomputer that they thought he would be. This season, Bryce has to make a tangible progression on the field. "A big part of it is being able to operate at the line of scrimmage — not in the huddle — when we want to, and he’s certainly capable of that," Canales said about Young. "It’s not solely on him. It’s a group that’s pretty young. You have to trust all the guys to go up there, communicate verbally or nonverbally and execute what we’re doing. We’ve made huge strides in that regard. His ability to alter things based on what they’re giving you will give us another edge, which he’s continued to grow and had some great examples down the stretch where he identified things they were doing, got us to the right check and capitalized on some plays. Want to see him do that more when it’s appropriate. We don’t need to be changing things just to change it." The implications, perhaps insinuations, are pretty evident. Bryce is just going to have to do better. "And then for Bryce, it’s the identification of early on the cues that the defense are giving us, to be able to eliminate parts of your progression before the ball’s even snapped. That happens with time. I’ve seen quarterbacks really own and master, which allows them to play lightning fast." Obviously Bryce isn't necessarily picking things up as fast as Canales would like, and I can only assume that Canales is making comparisons to Russell Wilson, Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield. But, of course, not everyone picks things up at the same rate. Bryce's pace has left Canales wanting for more. During the coming season, I don't believe that it will be good enough for Bryce to start putting things together in December, evidence of the light switch being on is going to have to show itself in September. Basically, it's really the moment that we've all been waiting for, the one that we thought should've happened earlier, the one that brings Bryce's accountability in the spotlight. On an off note, perhaps to that end, we should consider the possible implications upon the draft, but that's another story. Basically, it's time for Bryce to sh¡t or get off the pot. https://roundtable.io/sports/nfl/panthers/news/carolina-panthers-dave-canales-holds-nothing-back-on-bryce-young-in-new-interview
    • Wouldn’t mind Tyson. Definitely prefer him to Sadiq.
