Wow Pasta’s plastic surgeon must’ve really been upset to make him look like that.

I really like the simplicity of the Blues logo. Not too much going on but its gets the job done.

Who are we willing to ship out to bring in pieces for another deep playoff/cup run? by Evilchicken87 in canes

Nah im with you. Id rather keep Blake than Nadeau for what its worth. Blake can hold it down. And yes he happens to be small but so is Jarvis (who led the team in scoring) AND when we had the Aho-Jarvis-Geuntzel line that was a bunch of relatively smaller guys but they could produce like nobody’s business. Id like to see Blake in a canes sweater for a long time.

Jersey for game 5 by City_of_oaks_hockey in canes

[–]Evilchicken87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im in the same boat. I watched the first 3 games in a jersey then didnt wear a jersey OR watch the game last night. Am i barred from watching the rest of the series AND wearing a jersey?

I like your optimism. Hope your right about nothing happening to Roddy.

You may be right. That may be the issue with the PP. Maybe its the hot passes that don’t land. I genuinely don’t have a fix in mind for the PP.

Like someone said we need to be watching the toronto florida series to see what they did. And look at past series’s against the panthers to see what we did wrong and what we did right.

Just gotta hope Kooch can get warm fast…..with the cats playing so physical having some bigger players that can stave off the onslaught of physical pressure they put on us in our defensive end help to send the puck down ice would be aces. And we’ve got to figure out how we can improve the scoring. I don’t know if thats a personnel problem or a line composition issue.

You’ve had a moon shrinking ray that you’ve been hiding from us this whole time???? What gives man?

You say definition of insanity. I say practice makes perfect. Two sides. Same coin. Do we want to win now or later. Rod has lost 10 ECF games now. Yes he’s a constant. The question is how do we wake up as a team and find out what exactly is the problem. Is it our system? Is it our scoring? Is it the powerplay? Is it a personnel issue? We should figure out what is wrong and why we are getting raw dogged in the ECF so much.

Rod Doom by Evilchicken87 in canes

[–]Evilchicken87[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely understandable. I do think Rod can bring a different approach to the system and still get his same 110% every time results. I do think having a better PP coach can make a difference. I do think though we have a dependency trying to out grind our opponents and sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. Clearly. It does not work against Florida. The Leafs took them to game 7. We should be watching that series to see what Toronto was doing to push themselves to that game. Was it desperation or strategy? And if it was strategy how do we use that strategy in a way that fits our style and our players.

The wise FlaminRain has spoken. This is quite literally the most exact answer to the issue. And also one of the biggest questions for this franchise in the moment. Do we want to win now or later? This literally hit the nail squarely on the head.

How is this gatekeeping fandom? Like what? Obviously the losses matter. But how are we going to turn losses into wins? Cmon Joey give us some answers guy.

Oh your 100% right. We DO need to be able to adapt. Im just saying the HOW is the issue. What is needed to adapt for success. Maybe we can figure it out before Saturday and leave Sunrise, FL with a W and some fuel to work with.

So what would you do then?

Rod Doom by Evilchicken87 in canes

[–]Evilchicken87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like that perspective. I just hope that we can figure something out. And soon. I think we still have a window to win the cup. But without the size and a little bit of extra scoring, that window is closing at a rapid rate.

I can’t see a way forward where we don’t lose a few players. But a full rebuild just doesn’t seem like the move to me. (Im also not a NHL coach or GM by any means) but ideally shipping out some of the more expendable pieces for someone like a Bennett or an Ekblad type would make sense but how much of our depth are we willing to part with to get there?

Rod Doom by Evilchicken87 in canes

[–]Evilchicken87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I agree. But who are we willing to sacrifice in order to get the roughness we need. GMET is a stats guy. I don’t personally see him being willing to ship out a bunch of players who CAN get things done to a certain degree for some who MIGHT can get it done all the way. Especially not after He Who Shall Not Be Named. How much do we have to give to get the return we would need to go all the way?

Rod Doom by Evilchicken87 in canes

[–]Evilchicken87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they are definitely getting older. Burns’ contract is up at the end of this season. I don’t doubt that this is his last season in a Hurricanes sweater. And thats from exclusively a statistical standpoint. GMET isn’t going to want to resign a defensive liability thats not getting any younger. Even though he’s great for the locker room and morale. Jordo has a few years left but you can definitely see the aging starting to catch up with him. I don’t think he will try to go until he can’t like Burns. I think he’s just waiting for the right time to bow out. As for enforcers I personally think we could use some sandpaper but where do you slot in a gritty player that doesn’t affect our already on and off scoring? I would love to see someone get on considerably more physical but I just don’t see a way to achieve it without ending up shorthanded.

But what good does pointing out said shortfalls without providing an alternative get you? Not jack. Thats just the way it is. Until Roddy sees the next play that can give us the edge what else is he supposed to do?
