And their facilities are supposed to be outstanding.

Good, can’t wait to hear him clamor on about “sports science” and using modern technology and state of the art systems to build a winner like he did during his stupid used car salesman introductory press conference here.

You, know it's funny, I have been thinking back to this portion of his hire a lot more the last two weeks, because I find it funny that no one in the media has called him on it.  IIRC, Tepper or Hurney made it a point to say that the hire somewhat hinged on them being able to promise Rhule he would get that sports medicine/science crap here.  And again, the more time that has gone by, it has become evident that that was just more of his con at the time.  It sounded innovative and ingenious to the teams interviewing him, and at the same time, it seems so cutting-edge that none of them would've known enough to call bullshit on it at the time...  but it wows the interviewer/teams in that process to the point that they wouldn't possibly think it's just part of his used car sales con to win them over in the moment...

And like I said, not a single peep about that bullshit since his intro.  He knew what he was doing.

So to expand on this I have heard through the grapevine that one of the first tough lessons Rhule learned was that this isn’t a college with boosters that will give you money for projects no questions asked

This is also a business and he did not realize that there would be budgets. One of the first things Rhule wanted was new carpet for the locker room and when he learned that there is a price tag he was shocked. It’s not Tepper being cheap because they got the carpet but the concept of a budget blew Rhule away and that’s probably one reason you don’t see that medicine crap.

      Canes got booed off the ice

      Canes in six what years?    I'll be shocked if they win one game not to get swept lol if you think that I urge you to go watch the press conference that's a team that's mentally beaten and has no answers.

      Disagree that CB is a massive need.

      Rudderless ship issue

      This sentiment is really starting to bother me. Because, you are right. We do have one of the most well run organizations in the league. And, a lot of fans seem to think that Rod is that entire organization. This line of thinking completely discredits all of the hard work that GMs, scouts and players have put in to make the team what it has become. Not to mention the impact that the ownership change has had on the team. You will never hear me singing the praises of a billionaire. But, the fact is, we went from a cap floor team to a cap ceiling team under TD. Have we dramatically improved from the dark old days since Rod took over? Absolutely. But, he wasn't the only one contributing to that rise. And if he leaves, the house of cards isn't going to magically crumble. At this point, we've seen enough players leave and flourish (or come here and wither) to know that isn't true. The organization isn't one man. But, one man is responsible for setting lineups, line combos, d pairings and drawing up set plays. And, to me, that is what lost us these 2 games in embarrassing fashion. I don't believe that Florida is just some unbeatable juggernaut running roughshot over the league. Last I checked they didn't go 82-0. If you believe this is a personnel issue, by all means, bame the players, the scouts and the GMs. Blame everybody but RBA. If there was one player or position group to blame, I would tend to agree with you. When an entire team collapses, it's not on the players. It's on the leadership and they are the ones who should be held accountable.
