Did they not have the game on in the concourse? And it hasn’t been just yesterday, the Canes report sell outs, which they are, but resellers would rather hang on to their tickets rather than discount them. And I know for a fact businesses waste a bunch of tickets because when I lived in NC mine did that.

I blame resellers and the local businesses that buy up tickets but don’t use them.

I’d love that, catch me wearing her Charlotte Sting merch to the games.

We got a good one, Clark is starting to get going.

I’m waiting for the video of Rod’s locker room speech. If Svech is standing in the back then I’ll know for sure that “illness” just means healthy scratch. You don’t let a sick guy in your locker room.

So I need to be real with everyone… Burns is struggling a bit. A lot of it is with turnovers or failed clearances, we need to get that poo tightened up. Also, Orlov - Chatty is a dominant pair. Time to lock Chatty up.

@HarbingersI need the report card on this one.

Caps and Isles have played same amount of games. Caps have one game in hand on Philly.

Caps coming out of this one with no points is massive in regards to the playoff picture. At least momentarily, the Islanders occupy the final metro spot.

That South Carolina team is the women’s version of UConn (men’s) but Iowa vs. UConn has the potential to be the game of the season regardless of whether it’s men’s or women’s hoops. Clark vs. Bueckers is quite the showdown. And speaking of SC, I’d love to see Dawn Staley get a crack at a men’s job should she want it. I’d take her over Hubert any day. Her ripping her girls when they were up 20 because they were slow to close out a three is what I love to see.

Brandon Miller has become the second player in NBA history to record 25+ points in a half with 100/100/100% splits (minimum 5 three’s attempted). Other player is Steph.

Well the Guentzel trade is working, now if we can get six more guys like him.

That’s not true at all. 2020 - Redshirted 2021 - 491 all purpose yards - 6 TD’s 2022 - 896 all purpose yards - 9 TD’s 2023 - Injured - 516 all purpose yards - 3 TD’s - On pace for 802 all purpose yards - 5 TD’s If you want to look at this from another perspective you can check how dangerous McConkey is with the ball in his hands. McConkey averaged a TD every 7.33 touches throughout his career. In comparison, Legette averaged a TD every 10.75 touches throughout his career. I’ll even go further, throughout his career, Rome Odunze averaged a TD every 8.62 touches. And just for shits and giggles. The touches to TD formula accurately predicted Puka Nacua’s success as an NFL player. It’s primarily used to show how explosive a player can be with the ball in their hands and McConkey has that same explosiveness.

Lose tonight and we are 3-4 in our last seven, only takes 4 loses to get eliminated in the postseason.

Believe so.

The loss last night cemented our place as second in the metro… team is playing like they know they have nothing to play for.

Canes on the way to the playoffs…

I’m telling y’all right now. Illness is code word for benched.

Every time this thread comes up I say the same thing. We are too one-dimensional. Get pucks in deep, forecheck, cycle, and then throw the puck at the net. It works when we are head and shoulders better than our opponent, but when our opponent is good enough in their own end, it can create issues offensively for us. It’s been proven that more high danger scoring chances come from the rush rather than cycling the puck. So if you’d like to know why we outshoot our opponent by 15 but only win by one goal, this is the reason why. I like the idea of putting Necas with better transition players and letting that line try to score on the rush more. Give me: Guentzel - Aho - Necas Svechnikov - Kuznetsov - Jarvis Martinook - Staal - Fast Noesen - Drury - Teravainen Lemieux - Kotkaniemi Slavin - Burns Skjei - Pesce Orlov - Chatfield DeAngelo - Morrow Andersen Kochetkov Martin

I’d also prefer McConkey or Corley over Leggette lol. Breakouts can certainly happen and they can carry over to the NFL but I personally would rather have the more consistent and fundamentally sound players. Otherwise we’ll be spending too much time trying to figure out how to make our athletes good football players when we could have just drafted good football players to begin with.

Wilson may have injury concerns but Cooper has some concerns in his own right. Why did it take him four years to produce at a high level? In Cooper’s three previous seasons he only totaled half a sack (though he hardly played his freshman year). Don’t get me wrong, Cooper had a great season but it could simply be because he’s bigger and faster than his competition now, he won’t have that luxury in the NFL. As far as his actual play, what makes him good could be a detriment at the NFL level. He’s a human missile and in college he’s faster than everyone, in the pros he’s going to have to dissect plays, I’ve seen tons of his highlights where I can guarantee you he’d overrun the play at the NFL level. He also plays way too upright. A lot of his success just screams, ‘I’m good because I’m bigger, faster, stronger, etc.’; that will have to change at the NFL level. Wilson in the other hand has been elite since his sophomore season.

Nothing can ruin my Thursday… The Canes…

Whole team is out to lunch right now.

I personally think there should be a scenario where they can disallow the goal but give a penalty.

This reminds me of one of our games against the Leafs, Boston is flying the zone as soon as we shoot from the point. Need to work the puck lower and shoot from higher danger areas so Boston stays home.
