Kirk Cousins did far more to get this team to the playoffs than Bryce did... lol

Tonight was, apparently, our first regulation loss in the Whalers sweaters...

Ouch... lol

I get that it is frustrating as fug watching this team right now. But, we just went toe to toe, for most of the game, against the best professional hockey team in recent memory without our 2 best players. Also, we currently have the 6th best record in the league despite having 141 (80+ on defense alone) man games lost to injury this season. When you add in all the issues with our netminders, it's damn near a miracle we're still holding down a playoff spot. I don't think Rod is untouchable, like many in our fan base. Even the best coach's messages get stale after a while. However, I don't think we are at that point yet. I would like to see some changes to his staff, though. (cough cough Jeff Daniel's cough cough) But, this ain't the year to be calling for Brind'amour's head.

It only makes sense if you plan to use those contracts as trade assets. But, those players have to outperform those deals to make it work. Blake already has. Stank's deal looked like a bargain before the move to center. Hopefully, the switch hasn't hindered his development too much.

Whoever hired Aho a nanny is da real MVP!

Wtf

I literally laughed out loud when he said that he prides himself on being honest with his listeners after spending the last 30 minutes gaslighting and straight lying about defending Freddie.

I think we'll see Primeau called up until we figure out a long term solution.

Lyon is 1b in Buffalo right now, unfortunately. And, playing pretty well, too. Idk about the rest of the list.

I've flirted with the idea. Let me see if I can dig out my microphone from the basement...

Gold is very tapped in to the team and gets a lot of exclusive access, being the point man for the team's radio partner. As far as I know, he is the only consistent post-game option out there for podcasts/yt. Listening to him right now, as a matter of fact. His knowledge of the team/game is remarkable. But, his opinions are almost always wrong... lol! It took him until like 2 weeks ago to admit that Bussi was playing better than Freddie. Gold swore it was all strength of schedule and Freddie still looked as great as he always had. And, he's so confidently (some would say arrogantly) wrong that I find it highly entertaining. I can see why he annoys others (including all of his former co-hosts) though.

There aren't really any good Canes centered podcasts, that I have found. Ovies+Giglio is great and their coverage of the Canes is top notch. But, they cover all triangle sports and some national, basically general sports talk.

And he's an ass.

They've been complete non-factors tonight!!!

I get where you are coming from with this. And, you're not wrong... But, no matter how hard you try, it is impossible to give 100% effort when you know, in the back of your head, that it won't matter. There is a noticeable difference in the way the team plays with Freddie in net versus when Bussi or PK is back there.

Finally! Even Jank was underwhelmed... lol

Maybe just go 6v5 the rest of the way...

I'm glad I didn't give up time with my nephews to watch that horseshit period of hockey.
