anyways had to put that dude on ignore.
 

My brother, it’s annoying to watch this team struggle to score 5v5 in crunch time. I’m not upset about the loss. I’m upset about the same issues rearing their ugly head, again. We are open merchants. It’s not gonna work moving forward when we do put this series away. 

There is nothing wrong with being disappointed with how the team has played even if we were up 3-0. 
We were lucky to be up 3-0 anyway. Game one was close till the empty net goal. Game two was a blowout til the Islanders collapsed and game three was a nail biter and we won because Anderson is amazing. 
Game 4 was just classic Canes playoff hockey. 
As I said above I think we’ll win game 5, but the negative things that are showing in this series are concerning. We can only hope it is because the Islanders are like a cockroach that won’t die and not because the same old playoff issues are popping up.

Nothing wrong with concern but let's be honest we are just fans we can't control it chill a bit... it's the knee jerk "we are done" statements that bug me.

Yeah that is a bit much. Still 3-1. I’ll start being really worried if it is 3-2 after Tuesday.

I expect a strong showing. I wish Rod would have flip flopped svech and Jarvis during OT 1 I think that would have done it. Especially since the isles were actually playing hockey and not gooning, no need for an enforcer with Aho and Guenz. Speaking of Guenz that dude needs to get it in gear. He was nonexistent today.

Varlamov can be a tough nut to crack. I know some here gave me some grief when I said he would be in net for game 4, but even though we won the first 3 games his save % was still around .915 for the periods he played. Now after 4 games he has a .930 SV%.

He’s vulnerable to the close game but at least so far not the tip game.

Sweeps ain't easy...  I could easily see the caps extending it by one game....

Honestly doesn't matter much in my book as both series will end in 5 or less.

The caps have 2 starting defensemen and I expect Rempe to take another one out tomorrow.

I'm aware.... 

You get everything when a teams back is agaist the wall.

 

Also reminds me we need to find a way to get Lemieux on the ice vs the Rags. 

 

Also considering they are facing a team that has sold off half their roster the last two deadlines and that's down 4 defensmen the rags haven't been particularly impressive vs the caps there 5 v 5 is worse than ours....

      I know that. I'm not predicting it. Just putting the information out there so I will have receipts for later on when this dude turns into a stud at this level too.  It's kinda bittersweet, he'd help our offense out a great deal, but I'm wanting a QB next draft, so adding another weapon for Bryce is counterproductive in that regard.

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      I'm not sure if NO will be as QB aggressive as some assume.  They may focus on landing a top line prospect and slow rolling the rebuild for next year.  Could see them roll the dice in R3-4 to compete with Rattler, maybe a Howard fit.     I think the QB starved team's just take the gamble the Saints don't want Sanders, and target a mid to late 1st pick for a trade up to land him.  Still don't think Milroe or Shough are going R1.   But I think what may get lost in the trade up talk is about it being QB specific. A top team trying to get over the top could be the juicy trade (or two) that happens in round 1. Something I've flirted with is how aggressive Buffalo could be.  They have the ammunition for a big trade up, and I think Golden would pair super well with Coleman.  They need to cut to the chase and get playmakers there for Allen.  So yeah, love the idea of a BUF/ATL trade where they move up for him.  I'm even thinking about LAR getting aggressive for Warren or Loveland.  Imagine McVay rolling into 2026 with that added piece for a future QB...

      Chris Simms: Jalon Walker is the most overrated player in the draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Unfortunately, Ice, there are some blueprints of hybrid LB/edge players who were busts too--Everette Brown is one, but he was forced into a 4-3 DE role here.  I would say that the 3-4 defense has a lot of wiggle room for hybrids at the OLB/Edge position--I am just not seeing Walker as an elite player at any one role.  Coverage?  Rushing the passer from the 9?  And at his size... If we take him, I hope that I am wrong because there are some personalities I really would love to be on this roster.  Jihaad Campell is one.  Bech is another.
