if karma exists--we will finally get our due at #1. three player draft makes 1, 2 and 3 all awesome but woo wee wemby pls

WilliPStyle on twitter is the radio PBP dude who had this specific tweet/info Topbin90 and Caleb Adams are must follows as well

while we had a pretty short bench in ATL and did fine, sounds like we will still have health issues tomorrow. Jozwiak, Gaines, Bender, Marks, Corujo listed as out, Vargas is questionable. Sounds like we get good news on the back end though as Tuiloma, Malanda & Mora have no more injury designation. Hope we can keep things going against Chicago and Nashville

if you bought tix and it went through, you're good. i think those restrictions only apply to right after they release the tickets for sale

i would generally agree, but Vegas has had tons of goalie injuries/problems. They are not the team we struggled with this year even though they are playing well. They are on their 5th goaltender now and are not playing the sort of opponents that can properly exploit it while the same time they keep them in check defensively. I think we could--though I would still rather play Seattle, then Dallas

Grabbed some game 2 tickets. FLA won 3 games on the road in each prior series. They aren't winning 3 times in Raleigh. Everyone is talking about how hot Bobrovsky is right now--his numbers are worse in playoffs than both Canes starters. FLA defense has been improved in the playoffs, but overall, was ranked like 19th in regular season. They allow tons of shots--more than any playoff team. The Canes generate more than any team. Their PP is also awful. I've watched all of their playoff games. They have put together a nice run. I would say more than them being world beaters is playing two teams absolute primed for collapse. They were down 3-1 to Boston. Toronto couldn't win one of their first two home games as they celebrated getting out of the first round a little too hard. They play a bruising style--Maurice's Canes team rarely went in as high seed but had good runs with a style that works in the playoffs. The problem for them is that Brind'Amour knows and uses a very similar style, but with more skill and speed and room to adapt. They are basically a worse version of us. Canes in 09 - two series wins. Both times won game 7s against higher seeds on the road. Bruising style, timely goals from unfamiliar names, not the most skilled team in the 'yoffs. Ran into a buzzsaw in ECF in young Penguins team with J Staal, Crosby, Malkin and walked all over us into a sweep. Canes in 19 - two series wins. Upset the Champ Caps in 7 on the road. Made quick work of NYI (got a lot of good puck luck) but essentially were a better version of their defensive system. Bruising style, timely goals from unfamiliar names, not the most skilled team in the 'yoffs. Ran into a buzzsaw in ECF with an experienced Boston team. Walked all over/frustrated us and outgoalied us off the planet. Sweep. Here's my bottom line take: Florida. Two upsets with big road victories. Bruising style, timely goals from unfamiliar names, not the most skilled team in the 'yoffs. HERE COMES THE BUZZSAW. CANES IN FOUR.

Huge 3 on the road in a rivalry match. We will see very quickly with a home match on Wednesday--are we turning this around?

I think we'll avoid the letdown that we had in game 5 v NYI. Game 3 woke us up. We'll be ready. Might see Raanta tonite but I'm fine either way. Let's bury them.

I'm gonna say it. Freddie these two playoff games has been the dude we brought here to be. And if he can continue that with help/spells from Raanta continuing to play how he has---this team even through the injuries has an entirely different outlook.

that hit in the playoffs where burfict took his head off seemingly changed his entire life

it's so ridiculous. Secondary market doesn't restrict. Every team does it. The Rangers fans went off on us last year for posting something and the Yankees do it. Just outright hypocrisy on anyone that criticizes it. Home team has every right to do what they can to restrict away fans from at least buying up front. There are probably plenty of Leafs fan Sunrise residents who will have no restrictions. The rest can pay secondary market prices or stay home.

he invited criticism with his selfish post. he got plenty of it. if you want to be his knight in shining armor and defend his honor that's fine. he did a stupid. move on

At this point, this feels like loose, free house money, and despite that we felt some round 1 pressure after getting up 3-1, I think we both have the experience to handle it and we'll be playing looser. If our goalies hold up like they did vs NYI I think we advance. NJ has a lot of speed, but our defense as a whole is much better than the Rangers. If we can contain Hughes I love our chances, and I feel like if we can crack their young goalie early the series could be over before it theoretically starts.

I can call a spade a spade. My emotions are just fine about it. Does it mean he can't learn from it? No. Knowing him outside of football isn't relevant to calling out selfish, tunnel vision motives on a football team. It's an objectively bad look.

Yeah, no. I don't subtweet my job. My posting history on here does not affect my work livelihood and I was raised in the internet age to know the difference. Part of making millions should include that nuance IMO. We can all call it a moment and say he made a mistake but deleting the woe is me post doesn't instantly make the mentality that led to it initially not exist--another thing anyone with social media experience knows.

probably cost himself 25k for this lol

while I mostly agree, that's why his post was so ridiculous and immature. We traded up to draft him 365 days ago--for him to act like he's instantly not appreciated for something he should have known we were doing the second we traded up for first overall, just seems like entitled trash. I'm not sure where he thinks he's going in this league where he's going to have some starter's shot that we're not giving him, but GMs that would be trading for him now have that post to question his inability to deal with any remote competition to point at. It was just an extremely emotional / reactionary thing to do and he had a literal month to sit on the fact that he would be on the outside looking in inside our and therefore every QB room in the league

not giving up future assets is a W. It would still be nice to have some help right now especially considering our injuries. Next year should be our all-in year no matter what. We're on house money and gaining experience

per Ian Rapoport on twitter, they have agreed to terms on a new long term deal..details to follow. Talks progressed after the Hurts deal. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/36305705/sources-lamar-jackson-ravens-progressing-extension-talks

not sure if that means he was banned before but I do think objectively calling anyone who was around pre 2011 a newbie is a stretch

I thought Fred should have always started the road games. If now is the first time he's healthy, go for it. The goaltending position was mostly irrelevant in Game 5 as only two giveaway/not clear zone mistakes and a fluky bounce led to goals. Let's hope our game makes our starting goalie irrelevant here. If you can't bet on several goalies in round 1 against your easiest opponent--there will never be an easier chance to rotate/get Raanta rest.

Considering Bryce was literally sacked 63 times in college, I think it's safe for anyone to underline in stone that, yes, he can in fact handle getting sacked as many times as he has been sacked. Fantastic argument, that.

looks like he joined in 2010, you in 2022, no?

right, but that's something that will happen plenty time after Bryce jerseys will have been on sale for a while. they will go on sale in some form or another (probably placeholder showing #1 for overall draft pick) right as the pick is announced
