At the risk of being a Grinch, I thought I'd wait until after the holiday to give you the gift of statistics. In 21 wins, the Canes have outscored their opponents 92-38, scoring 4.38 goals per game while allowing just 1.8. In these 21 wins, the Canes have scored 4 or more goals in all but 3 wins. In 13 losses, the Canes have been outscored 58-26; giving up 4.46 goals per game while scoring 2. With the exception of the shootout loss, only 2 other losses have been by 1 goal. PP goals: 28 (33% above than the league average) PP percentage: 26.17 (5.3% higher than the league average of 20.84) SV percentage: .889 (below the league average of .893) 5-on-5 SV percentage: .906 (below the league average of .918) +/- leaders and losers: Orlov (+17)/Chatfield (+14) a combined +31 for a defensive pairing is almost unheard of. Martinook (+11)/Staal (+8) for a combined +19 for the heavy line. Svech (-8), Gostisbehere, Walker, Aho (-6). -------------------------------------------------------------------- What does all this mean? When the Canes win, they win convincingly and usually soundly. When they lose, the lose like they win- convincingly. The Canes have won a game or 2 thanks to the blue line scoring, but more often than not, losses have come when the top 2 lines are non-factors, which has occurred far more than previous years. To be clear, the Canes have lost more games because the top end of the payroll not producing than they've won when the top line shows up. And, I'll just add this from another thread I posted in just 11 days ago. The point is still valid: The Canes lost Bunting (13), TDA (3), Noesen (14), Pesce (3), Skjei (13), Teravainen (25), Guentzel (8), Kuznetsov (2), who accounted for 81 of Carolina's 277 goals (29.2%) last season. They were replaced with Blake (0), Carrier (6), Gostisbehere (7), Robinson (3), Roslovic (9), Walker (10), who scored a combined 35 goals last season. -

I was pretty sure Bryce Young was roadkill. Gotta give him credit for coming to life. At no point did I see a single flash of an NFL caliber QB, but the past 6 weeks or so he's really playing like a capable starter. He's at minimum worth kicking the tires on for another season while we try to build the defense. -
To be fair our defense is a thrown together mess. I wouldn't say we have a lot more players who specifically fit a 34 than a 43. We've just been throwing stuff at the wall to try to piece something together.
