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.

Its like they are both regular season mode and playoff mode at the same time. Instead of looking great in the regular season and then looking like a different team and getting swept in the playoffs, they are bringing us both versions this season. Im afraid last season was the best season to win a Cup under Rod.

Been MIA for a bit but just a few things.

- The stars need to be better defensively. Svechnikov, Aho, and Jarvis need to really hone in on the defensive side. It almost feels like they’ve given up on Rod’s system from a defensive stand point. If those three aren’t better defensively then this team won’t go anywhere.

- Ghost and Walker need to be split up. I’d rather see Orlov and Chatfield be average than Ghost and Walker be putrid. In fact, rearrange the defense.

Slavin - Walker

Orlov - Burns

Ghost - Chatfield

Let Walker be a little more offensive and let Slavin shelter him. Orlov will shelter Burns and Chatfield will shelter Ghost. Everyone gets a shelter buddy.

Rod reshuffling the defense? I agree but this will never happen. KK getting demoted is the obvious move.

TBF... what the new additions did last doesn't really matter.

This season, those guys have...

Blake (7), Carrier (4), Gostisbehere (6), Robinson (8), Roslovic (14), Walker (2), which adds up to 41 goals less than halfway through this season.

The issue ain't the departures or the new guys. It's our stars disappearing for weeks at a time and the injuries and inconsistency in net. Take care of those 2 things and we'll be back to the world beaters that we looked like the first 2 months of the season.

The team really started struggling when rod nuked the lines then kept doing it. He killed all chemistry we built.  That leads to our stars not playing like stars.  Mix in average goalie play, well we aren’t that good. That’s the issue. Luckily, are stars can play well and we can buy a goalie.  
 

Ask me after the back to back with NJ. I think we can all agree that winning one of the two games would be a win.

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      This is why it's probably going to be hard to trade down. This draft is fairly light on top tier talent but pretty deep in talent of that next tier down. I don't think there's going to be a lot of teams clamoring to move up and numerous teams might be entertaining moving down. Not a good market to trade down if that's the case.

      And if they can't find a reasonable trade down (I think we would need a 2nd rounder this year bare minimum to make any trade down worth it). I would definitely expect Dan to trade UP for an EDGE or LB in the top half of R2. Just makes too much sense. We also have a plethora of mid round picks to use as ammo.

      I don't mean to make this a mock draft thread particularly,  but every time I do a mock I have been investigating the talent that goes off the board between picks 8 and our low 2nd rounder pick 57. There is a gargantuan amount of talent still left on the board in the top half of the 2nd round every time I do one. Losing our original 2nd round pick to the Bears as the last pick of the Bryce trade stings badly .  I'm particularly looking at elite players like Carson Schwesinger (LB), Luther Burden (WR), Matthew Golden (WR), Maxwell Hairston (CB) , Nick Scourton , Landon Jackson, Donavan Ezeraku (all DEs/OLBs) . The sweet spot in this draft really feels like pick 15 to 40 - ish. This is why the Bears should be making bank with this draft. I don't know how realistic a trade down is from 8, but if we could pick up any teams higher 2nd rounder and still grab their 1st? We'd be cooking with gas man.  Say for example we get Tet McMillan at pick 8, if you wait all the way to 57 you stand the chance of not getting any impact pass rushers in this draft. And I don't think this team can afford that.  I'd personally love for them to take a break from drafting wrs in R1 or R2 (i think we've taken one in the top 2 rounds in the majority of the past few years), and stick to repairing the nfls worse defense in history (in terms of total points against iirc, or was it yards? Also included my most recent mock as an example . Don't put too much into the  late round selections lol
