Grabbed some game 2 tickets.  FLA won 3 games on the road in each prior series.  They aren't winning 3 times in Raleigh.  Everyone is talking about how hot Bobrovsky is right now--his numbers are worse in playoffs than both Canes starters.  FLA defense has been improved in the playoffs, but overall, was ranked like 19th in regular season.  They allow tons of shots--more than any playoff team.  The Canes generate more than any team.  Their PP is also awful. 

I've watched all of their playoff games.  They have put together a nice run.  I would say more than them being world beaters is playing two teams absolute primed for collapse.  They were down 3-1 to Boston. Toronto couldn't win one of their first two home games as they celebrated getting out of the first round a little too hard. They play a bruising style--Maurice's Canes team rarely went in as high seed but had good runs with a style that works in the playoffs.  The problem for them is that Brind'Amour knows and uses a very similar style, but with more skill and speed and room to adapt.  They are basically a worse version of us.

Canes in 09 - two series wins. Both times won game 7s against higher seeds on the road. Bruising style, timely goals from unfamiliar names, not the most skilled team in the 'yoffs. Ran into a buzzsaw in ECF in young Penguins team with J Staal, Crosby, Malkin and walked all over us into a sweep.

Canes in 19 - two series wins.  Upset the Champ Caps in 7 on the road. Made quick work of NYI (got a lot of good puck luck) but essentially were a better version of their defensive system. Bruising style, timely goals from unfamiliar names, not the most skilled team in the 'yoffs. Ran into a buzzsaw in ECF with an experienced Boston team.  Walked all over/frustrated us and outgoalied us off the planet. Sweep.

Here's my bottom line take:

Florida. Two upsets with big road victories.  Bruising style, timely goals from unfamiliar names, not the most skilled team in the 'yoffs. HERE COMES THE BUZZSAW. 

CANES IN FOUR.

Saw a story online that the Canes are restricting ticket sales to people with zip codes in NC, SC, and part of VA. After FL wouldn't allow sales to Canadian folks.

The Canes did this for the 2nd round.  I got the warning about it when I bought my tickets.

So I used an out of state credit card for game 2 and ticketmaster let the transaction go through. If I had seen the restriction I would've had my friend in NC buy the tickets. Is ticketmaster going to screw me on this or is there a way for me to keep the tickets?

if you bought tix and it went through, you're good. i think those restrictions only apply to right after they release the tickets for sale

Ridiculous NHL hasn’t released a schedule yet. Take the below with a grain of salt until schedule is released.

 

Ya sounding more and more like Thursday is the day. With the West starting on Wednesday(thanks to the ESPN TNT rights BS and ESPN wanting the west). I’m guessing the NHL is going to want us every other day since we’ve had such a long break. Dunno if there are any arena conflicts for sure, I did hear there was one in Florida if we started Thursday.

      They gave him franchise QB money. Sorry but if you don't earn it you can be embarrassed.   He's rich he can take it. Stop feeling sorry for people who can't live up to their contract. This isn't a sport to be soft. Daniels deserves to give back some of that money he stole if you ask me.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And it was coming off of a bye week. Perhaps he should vacation a bit in Germany in the off season, something certainly seemed to help him there.  No, really... He showed maturation and the possibility that he's turning a corner. That wasn't the NY Giants out there, but the back to back Super Bowl champions with the #3 defense in the league, with them coming off of a prime time loss. And that was a 9-1 team we just played literally down to the last second. Bryce played so well that maybe, maybe he wins over some nay-sayers. It's still early, though, but what a nice breath of fresh air that was. You can win quite a few games if that is your normal performance. It is obvious that we are still on the learning curve, though. But that was one helluva test he just took. Some of these QBs coming out of college just don't have a lot of games under their belts, especially in top end programs. They are perhaps just a year to two years behind center in games that matter before they move up. It can take them some time to hit their stride. We can still be cautious about our future and still celebrate a great game by the kid, though, and we should. He earned the laurels today, or had before they were snatched away at the last second.
