I don't know that I'd say the Canes D was close to "top notch" last night. Dougie was more interested in getting shots on goal than he was playing defense. Not his best effort defensively. Tripp even mentioned it. Peace was okay and Slavin was his usual consistent self. But none of the blue liners were getting their name called last night. I think the team played like this was a gimme.

Yep. Only Aho really skated the “60 minutes” out there I feel like. We were getting shot hungry and over played it a bit too, letting Detroit get behind us way too much. I mean at one point Jake Bean was 1v4(or 5 don’t remember exactly) we are damn lucky that didn’t turn into a goal for them.

I do feel like Rod should have played Ned there but he does what he does with the goalies and that's just something we have to live with, maybe he'll go back to the hot hand goalie. Reimer was not dialed in last night.

Svech is starting to worry me a bit, more so for his sanity. He's getting shut down from his side and picked on by the refs a lot. He needs a confidence boost game soon. I kinda think we should put him up with Aho for a bit once Tro is back. I don't think it would hurt any of our other lines in reality since they all are pretty damn good and McGinn would do fine with Staal. Also Staal was slow as fug out there last night, don't know if he's feeling a residual injury affect or what but he looked like a tank out there compared to most of the skaters.

In the end they came out ready. We weren't even close.

You're seeing this, too, eh? I wasn't going to say anything, but after last night's dumb penalties, it's hard to avoid. A face-off circle penalty? Really? 

Svech needs a 2-3 point game to get his head back on straight.

Oh, and I would have yanked Reimer after the second time he lost his stick. I get that most coaches won't pull their goalie unless he's getting lit up, but allowing a bunch of goals is just as much a concentration thing as holding onto your stick.

      Why I Believe That We Will Trade Down

      By Martin · Posted

      I complete disagree. Who is available is extremely relevant. If you have a couple of players you would be happy with and you can still get them if you trade back, you should do that in a heartbeat. Being afraid that people will lowball you next year is an odd stance. Then you just say no next year, problem solved. In this particular draft you can get a very good player at 46. But to each their own.

      I don't think so.  Watson really screwed them up.  I see something happening, but do not know what.  Cousins could be had in a trade--but they liked Flacco when he played there.  If it were me, I would not spend the #2 pick on Sanders.  I would go after a tier 2 qb because I think Will Howard is going to start in the NFL soon, and I think Ewers was rated very high at the beginning of the year--he knows adversity and he beat out a Manning while taking Texas to 2 playoff appearances.  I am not good at picking QBs, but I think Howard's run pass option and his accuracy is going to help someone.  Stay in Ohio and play for the Browns behind Flacco--

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      After Cam at #1, there are three or four elite players and there could be a trade--If I am the Giants and I am needed a winning season badly and I have several needs, I might trade out and pick up mid first and an extra second rounder, including a QB--while nobody is going to move up to #3 for Sanders, they might for Carter or Hunter.  If the Giants then move back, Sanders could still be in play.  That could be the trade in the top 3.  New England wants Campbell and I get that; Jacksonville at #5 could move back if someone wants Graham or Jeanty.  But barring some trade, the top 4 are probably locked in. So it could be 2 hours into the draft before we get any surprises. Nice list, by the way--you nailed it.
