I'm not sure the East could be any tighter..

Have any of you guys been keeping up with the Conference Standings at all? I know they don't mean a whole lot right now, but it's so tight that there's only two near-certainties.

1. Boston makes the playoffs.

2. NY Islanders miss the playoffs.

I know it probably won't end up this way, but right now we're in 8th in the East..the last playoff spot. We've been moving around a little bit, but here's my question. Do you think it's likely that the Southeast Division will have two playoff teams? Washington is playing so well right now, they are going to be near impossible to catch, barring some kind of collapse. Florida is right on our ass, just one point behind. I'm just afraid that when/if the Penguins get out of this funk they're in, that we're going to get pushed out.

Thoughts?

Yeah I'm a huge hockey fan since I live in Raleigh have a ticket package, played hockey etc. and I keep up with standings. The Southeast, you heard it here first, will at least have two playoff teams but will have a third that sneaks in, the Panthers.

Unless we go on a run and someone the craptials start blowing there is really no shot we get the SE. I just want the 4th playoff spot for home ice advantage really.

BTW offtopic, I was in charlotte tailgating, etc. yesterday and was wondering how the game vs boston was. I know we got whipped but how did we play who played well etc.

I wasn't able to watch the game, but it had to have been terrible. I have my phone set to send me a text everytime there is a score in a Hurricanes game.

I was in the middle of a pretty serious phone conversation, and the text alerts were driving me insane, because they seemed to come through every two minutes.

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By TD alt · Posted

      After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...

      Canes vs Leafs 7pm

      Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning.

      The team store should re-release Dan Morgan's jersey.

      I like Morgan's approach but I'll wait for a few winning seasons before giving too much praise.
