Harbingers

Nope. The panthers are. The jags are just a sideshow.

No. Our defense is trash and a few talents are the only thing keeping it above water.

In this case I’m guessing David took a kick back from Rhules camp, either monetarily or in “sources”. Posted it, because if you read the wording and think back to the Rhule comments about boos and “fire Rhule” stuff it’s almost identical. I’m thinking an editor from the national office came in and fixed it because of the blowback they are getting. The article wasn’t intrinsically changed which leads me to believe it was just a quick fix. Except for the fact that was the entire premise of the article.

What a fugging joke. I’m sure an editor came in.

Rhules camp:

I’ll stick to the Canes as my must follow team. I’m not going to not turn on a game but I ain’t planning my Sunday’s around the panthers anymore.

They are delusional.

The only question at this point is how much did Rhules PR person pay David to write this.

In retrospect I’m wishing Tepper pulled the trigger over thanksgiving and gave Brady the reigns to see what he had.

I think this may be David’s lowest point. And that’s saying something. He’s lost any shred of credibility he had. I wonder how much Rhules camp paid him to write this crap. If you watch the clips it’s Clearly “Fire Rhule”. “The fanbase also seems to back Rhule, as the crowd was cheering "Fore Rhule" at the last home game and fans were even chanting that a Charlotte Hornets game this past week.”

KK is definitely a C replacement for the future for either Tro or Staal. Could see that when we made that move. The issue with Staal is his NTC and the he still has 1 year left. We have Fast locked until Staal’s contract is up so that’s a nonissue. Tro or Nino is what it’s going to come down to this off-season. Nino is gonna have some big suitors too, probably even more so than Tro.

You know Rhule is moving ahead like he’s the coach, I’m assuming this was from his camp. I’m not holding my breath but also slightly optimistic Tepper will see the light come Black Monday.

You could tell Calgary was gonna score first they busted ass at the beginning while we didn’t really get our game set until the end of the first. But you could tell we were intent on controlling that game. I can’t say enough about our grinders. Staal may not have a goal(goals this season) but his tempo was insanely good last night. Fast is just so underrated, that dude is everywhere and always in perfect position. Lorentz grind was good. Nino is a fugging possession god. I hate to say it but Staal probably has to be the odd man out when contracts come up again. We gotta keep Fast and Nino.

So in person perspective:, yet again Fast is insanely good at the game we play. Nino needs to be in on double shift. Honestly I’d like to see Lorentz make the jump. He pushes hard but doesn’t make the Staal jump.

Thanks Brady for scoring on us.

At the game. Took us easily until the last 3-4 minutes of the first to wake up. We have dominated since.

I think so. Some people think he’s gonna he out for a while. I think he’s 15-20ish of January.

Full roster as it’s listed so far, apparently Nino took a puck to a knee in practice Wednesday and Tro(I think) took one to the face yesterday, cut up under his eye pretty good. Svech still dealing with a finger issue was exasperated yesterday too. But all should be good to play. Andersen was in the starters crease for morning skate. So it sounds like he’ll be starting back to back. Feel like the coaches don’t have a lot of confidence in Raanta right now. Let’s go get the W at home.

Again like I said in another thread there is an out after next year. I think the injury stuff is also more on this staff than CMC. If you put him in a legit operation he’ll be fine.

If we keep Rhule I’m fine with sending him to a competitor. If we get a new coach(and training staff) that’s up to them but I’d keep him.

14 million with a potential out after next year for a team with deep playoff aspirations? Ya, I’m sure there could be a buyer for CMC.

If that center or Howell is around at 6 hell no.

Almost any team would take CMC at this point. They are probably chalking his injury ridden seasons to inept coaching and training. Robby however… he ain’t going nowhere unless we give up picks.

Fair point but they are going to look to pare cost down somewhere though. I don’t know know how they pay their beat writers, if they are salaried or freelance(words written) but my thought was if a city has 10 sports teams, they could go from 10 writers down to 5 for smaller markets. But ya they could start at the top since the NYT may want to inject their people in there too. I don’t know where else they cut costs besides buildings & server infrastructure(will probably be integrated into NYT mainframe). Im assuming since The Athletic are losing their ass right now NYT will add it to their normal subscription for base level content and keep exclusives for more on the athletic side. While hoping the base level content will drive up clicks and subscriptions.
