Caught snippets of it on a flight from Denver to Detroit. Missed the GWG.

It was a must win. Sadly, so is the next game.

The next game is HUGE but not necessarily a must win like last night was. If we lose we go back home and can make it 3-2 and build off of that momentum to take another in Tampa and even the series. Last night's game was the most critical as a loss would've buried us.

Agreed last night was do or die but I’d still like to see the win tomorrow night going back home with a day or two off. Rod is speaking around 1, so hopefully we get a Foegs update. But we are starting to feel that attrition. Either scenario will work but I think if we can win tomorrow, two days off, win at home with the chance to clinch at Tampa in a potential game six would be a huge boost.

Anytime you push to being one game from elimination, every game becomes a must win. If we go down 3-1, the odds of winning are really low

Exactly. I would rather not be in a 3-1 position and that close to being eliminated.

Not Canes related but holy poo.

 

Holy poo.  I don’t watch many sports other than football, but I’m surprised this doesn’t happen more.  When I was playing baseball as a kid this happened, the pitcher had a tooth or two knocked out.  Thankfully it was just kids and not a grown ass man knocking the ball back at you.  Hope he is okay.  That was rough.

With how low the viewership is for the NHL compared to the other major sports, the last thing they want is a small market team like Carolina in the stanley cup finals. They want teams with big name stars that casual sports fans will watch - Carolina isn't that unfortunately.

Don't buy that otherwise the Rangers, Blackhawks, Kings wouldn't all suck and the Leafs wouldn't have lost the first round and we would be without a Cup.

Man I hope Foegs is a go tonight. Geekie honestly I think played better than Lorentz last night. Generated a few good opportunities. I’d move him up a line and let Marty try and elevate the 4th line.  
 

Foegs has been stellar this series so far though. Not showing up on the score sheet but the dude has probably the most take aways, rush chance generations on the team. I’d love to see Fast up his game a little too, the dude is a grinder but his matchups haven’t been great this series so far.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
