Did we get worse at the TDL

Ghost didn’t make us worse, Pulju appears to have. Losing Svech made us significantly worse. He’s not just one guy, he’s one of our main guys and his hits mattered and his goals mattered and his assist mattered a lot.

We didnt get worse. We had already been inconsistent this year and we just didnt do jack poo when everyone else got better and then we lost Svech. With the lack of foresight to not take into consideration of injuries all while you are inconsistent anyway, along with the expectations we had, this has got to be the worst blunder of Waddell`s career and maybe in Hurricanes history. We were supposed to win the Cup this year.

If you take a serious look at some of the "records" the Canes own, and dig deep into their real meaning, this team has a couple issues to address.

1. The blue line leads the league in points. Sounds good, but it it really? Hell, if it wasn't for the blue line last night's game was a shutout loss. And how many times has the defense carried the scoring this year when the forwards disappear? 

2. The team has one of the highest shots per game average coupled with one of the lowest goal totals of top 10 teams. Averaging nearly 35 shots on goal per game (4th), but only 239 goals (17th).

Am I the only one that has lost a lot of interest because of this huge blunder by Waddell? It just tells me he doesnt care, so why should I? Id still watch the playoffs, but not expecting to get past the 1st or 2nd round.

I haven’t lost interest. We have what we have and I’d confidently say if we had svech we be well over 110 points so far. The dude is a difference maker. Especially Vs. Teams like Boston. Gotta work with what we have and hope Rod can right this ship, and come out of his comfort zone a little. Drury on one and Jarvis on 4 *cough*

      Team is dangerous right now, all four lines are contributing and the speed at which the guys play at is tremendous.

      And every nfl player wannabe tries to up their draft position through things like the combine and theyre all basically lying though those drills theyve practiced hundreds of times that have little bearing on if theyre a good football player. The pro days are even worse. All you have to do is dupe 1 team. Is it right? No. But until teams put more emphasis on college tape vs. What they did in shorts with no defense it'll happen every year. I doubt there is a single player that wouldn't try anything to up their draft prospects.  Young had years of tape and that shouldve been what the decision was based on. Not a scale and throwing in shorts.  ( btw I think the combine and pro days are 90% a waste of time) Young has it financially made already. It's up to him if he wants to be a good football player too. I think the benching was the best thing that could've happened to him. It remains to be seen if it was enough

      This.  Honest introspection on his behalf would have seen that size and strength were his biggest weaknesses. He looks no different. With the programs in the NFL, he could have come back to camp 10 lbs of muscle heavier. Easily. If had done so, it would have been reported on. It would have been the hottest story…. But we never saw anything of the sort, so it probably never happened.  He showed improvement this last game, likely from Andy’s tutelage. He has to show something VERY special to close the season out to change my thinking on him… like 4 game winning streak with a clutch 4th quarter comeback. Then maybe.
