Bring back that awful ... 'Stand and cheer for the Panthers'.

The most glaring issue during the last preseason game was open field tackling ... Primarily by the CBs. They didn't break-up the passes and missed the tackles. Glad that our staff brought in new recruits. Hopefully one or two will pan out.

Alot of positives but open field tackling has been poor, especially by CBs. Missing way too many.

Tepp and his cronies adopt the 'rebuilding' mindset as he attempts to shed the label of being the worst owner in professional sports. Each victory is celebrated as part of the rebuilding plan. Moral victories are found in close losses. By end of year, apathy sets into the stadium and players as seats are filled with opposing fans. Interior OL upgrades will be a huge improvement which will help Bryce's need for pocket space. However, will still be limited to open receivers in short / intermediate routes. End of season speculation that Panthers use another top 5 pick on a QB or more weapons.

Honestly ... was thinking Bunt would square up with Chuk ... but glad Svech showed there is more than one that can take care of business. I go back to when Svech got into it with Ovechkin. The kid has an edge that is good for this team.

I get the impression our GM / owner doesn't see big holes and is OK with incremental improvements VS taking risk to fill a need for a run. Not being able to keep puck out of net OR put puck into net are pretty big holes. We sure can pass good around the net though!

Chet still making himself small in goal. Needs to trust his eqpt and cover space. Style works in lower leagues but not nhl. Announcers nailed it tonight ... solid goaltending would change a lot for Canes ... and goals are still hard to come by. We have skill but not a sniper.

Nothing wrong with a $12 bottle of Cab (maybe not $8). I have the big dollar ones but pride myself on finding the cheaper gems, especially for a mid-week bottle.. Otherwise ... brilliant post SCP. Lol

Bunch of Jerks finally got a jerk. Love it.

The hockey God just smiled.

His Dad got him in the biz.

Another clean look on a shot from top of the circle. Need chaos in front.

Pk needs to come up big. Can't give them another.

Kk plays hard but geez ...

Eric Lindros would agree with that. Someone still needs to find the angle with Bennett and catch him not looking ... just saying.
