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*

    • Just admit that you don’t follow all the draft discussions on here. If draft results were so random, how come some teams tend to be perennial losers like us and some teams are perennial winners and it all starts with the draft? It’s almost comical these type of stupid responses. Oh, why aren’t you the GM? Gee I wonder since I work in a completely different field. How about you give us some examples of where the huddle consensus drafting was worse than our drafting from 2018 to 2025? I know I’ve given a ton of examples and you just shoot this generic poo of oh you couldn’t possibly done better as an armchair GM. Why don’t you dispute any of my examples? Let’s go to Brooks. I wanted Frazier at C because I still feel like that’s a hole. Other Huddlers mentioned DeJean at CB. Here’s why many of us didn’t want Brooks because 1) he might not play due to tearing his ACL late in the college season, 2) any scout/GM worth their salt would know that the 2025 RB draft class was loaded and 3) trading up multiple picks knowing 1 and 2 seems silly. Heck, after the draft, pretty clear that day 3 was where the RB value was. The huddle was right on Brooks and at most, we’ll get 2 years of Brooks while Hubbard is still under contract. If you know so much about the underlying machinations of the draft, you should be able to dispute the actual examples and how the huddle’s picks were just plain lucky and how Dan, Scott and Marty’s picks were just unlucky. Pulling the why aren’t you an NFL GM is a much repeated response when an actual reasoned response isn’t possible. Our drafting hasn’t been unlucky the past 7 drafts, it’s just been bad with lost of idiotic moves that were far worse than the huddle consensus.
    • I got y’all https://static01.nyt.com/athletic/uploads/wp/2025/04/09073220/2025-Beast-v02.pdf Th3!Be@$T!#2025
    • 100%!! Last year we focused completely on offense, and it made leaps, especially when Bryce settled in for the 2nd half of the season. We kept all those players and improved our RB stable this free agency! This year we focused almost entirely on D, specifically our run D. I expect it to jump to at least average, which would be awesome considering they are starting at dead frikin last. Our draft class from last year, however, doesn't exactly make me tingle. I know, I know..."traded away our first round pick, give them time to develop", but still. The 1 gem was Coker, a UDFA who I really like, but he ain't exactly Randy Moss. We have to do better! We can't afford to only build via Free agency.
