I haven't made one of these threads in a while but I figured that the biggest game of the year deserves it... plus we have a CBJ fan on the board as well.

 

What: Carolina Hurricanes vs. Columbus Blue Jackets

When: 7:00 P.M.

Where: PNC Arena (Raleigh, North Carolina)

Last 10: CAR: 7-3, CBJ: 8-2

 

In what is the biggest game for the Hurricanes this season, they are at home taking on the Blue Jackets; a team that always seems to have their number. The Canes are coming off a six goal effort against the Senators, eerily enough; the last time they (the Canes) put up six goals they were shut out the next game by none other than the Columbus Blue Jackets.

 

However, it appears that this game may be different, Muller has finally found a combination of forwards that is generating offense and it all starts with the big line of Tlusty, E. Staal, and Semin. The key in tonight's game will be the play of the third pairing defense of Jay Harrison and Mike Komisarek who have really struggled as of late, if they can keep Dubinsky's and Letestu's lines of the score sheet then the Canes will win.

 

If the Canes can get the win in regulation tonight, they will jump Philadelphia and Columbus in the standings giving them third place in the Metro division.

 

Here's to a Canes Win!!!

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
