Maybe I’m greedy but I want 8 points however we get them, then it wouldn’t matter if the Devils win all 5 of the rest of their games. 
Id prefer we get the 8 points with 4 wins out of 6 games to show Canes are in good playoff form but willing worst case to settle for 3-1-2 lol.

as brutal as that loss @ DET was, Rod's teams always respond well when things get toughest. We may have needed that wake up call considering even then we were coasting.  The past two games we have been back to out-efforting teams.  I'm hopeful we can maintain this division lead and we saw that we can still best NYI/Pitt in the first round.  We not be favored after, but our system works well in long series and anything can happen at that point

took a penalty there that the goal nullified

That was brilliant of Martinook to shoot the puck, he really had no pass and you can see the goalie had his head turned to Aho just sure it would be Aho to shoot it. And just perfect puck placement in the net.

yup--and the goaltender is thinking he will pass to Aho the entire time-- he is worried about the more dangerous player eventually being the shooter, which, to be fair--the defenseman literally was willing to take a penalty to make sure Aho didn't get that pass in a dangerous position.  Martinook isn't even the most talented guy with the nickname Jordo or Marty on the team but he's all effort and a great dude to have around.  And every once in a while he comes up huge like this

That’s what we need. Goalies need to be scared enough of Aho the rest doesn’t matter. That was textbook misdirection.

    • We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.
    • I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning. 
    • He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
