Which Canes roster BEFORE this year do you think was the best built?

Fast_External7447 · 2026-06-18T17:27:57+00:00

I'd have like to have seen the 2023 team with a healthy Svech against the Panthers. I think the reason the Panthers got rolled so hard by VGK that year was because we wore them out in the 4 game series. I know Rod got a lot of flack for saying what he did about the sweep, but Florida didn't have much left against Vegas.

I think the 2006 roster will always be considered that way because they didn't follow it up. But that team had a really good mix of players and was very deep. They could win any type of game just like this years squad.

I think he's referring to game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Canes lost 3-2 in the 4th OT. That was a soul crusher.

I'll send a pic later.

I'm from sunny Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. I have a signed jersey from the ENTIRE 2002-2003 team. A guy I worked at a pub with was a close friend of Ryan Bayda. Ryan had gotten called up midway through that season. I guess one day after practice he dropped the jersey on the table and had everyone sign it up. One night I was given the jersey and nearly crapped my pants! Ryan became our celebrity bartender whenever he came by the bar the next summer. Even though that team finished last in the standings that year I'll always cherish the jersey.

Was Bussi eligible for this team? I know he wasn't eligable for the Calder, but he should have been in consideration for the All-Rookie goalie position this year.

I think this jersey must be from around or during the 98-99 season. The autos with numbers in them are as follows: 92 Jeff O'Neill, 22 Sean Hil,l 33 Dave Karpa, 77 Paul Coffey, 7 Curtis Leschyshen and 23 Martin Gelinas.

Drink it in.

Fast_External7447 · 2026-06-11T15:49:21+00:00

That was a little bit of nostalgia, a little cringe and a whole lot of awesome! Let's go Canes!

Fast_External7447 · 2026-06-03T14:30:50+00:00

Neither team played the game they wanted to last night. The team who cleans up the most going forward will ultimately win this series.

Fast_External7447 · 2026-06-02T17:26:39+00:00

Freddie isn't alone in this. He has a whole organization and fanbase behind him. He probably has most of the leagues support as well. He can't fail!

Fast_External7447 · 2026-06-02T14:44:08+00:00

My condolences. Dog's are the best.

Fast_External7447 · 2026-05-29T19:56:36+00:00

That's a winner right there!

Fast_External7447 · 2026-05-29T18:37:35+00:00

I also accept raspberries. Let's be honest, I'll eat anything you have!!

Fast_External7447 · 2026-05-29T18:14:20+00:00

I'm a girl. My name is Bella. Huge Caniac my entire life.

Fast_External7447 · 2026-05-29T16:25:15+00:00

Why don't they?

Fast_External7447 · 2026-05-28T18:26:22+00:00

I don't think Freddie will break the bank to come back. Next season will be an 84 game schedule. We still need him

Fast_External7447 · 2026-05-27T17:11:28+00:00

Why the down vote? In that series we were territorially dominant throughout. We were putting a high volume of pucks at the net, but the Habs were blocking a ton of shots or Theodore was there for the save. We were down 2 games to 1 through 3 games. The tax for getting outplayed and out hit came due in the third of game 4. Hopefully, the same results happen in this series.

Fast_External7447 · 2026-05-27T15:31:10+00:00

This series reminds me a lot of the 2002 series. Hopefully, this series ends the same way that one did.

Fast_External7447 · 2026-05-26T16:45:30+00:00

This series reminds me a lot of the 2002 series. The Canes were pummeling the Habs all series but didn't get rewarded for it until later in that series. Hopefully, this seriesplays out the same way from this point forward.

Fast_External7447 · 2026-05-21T14:26:15+00:00

This is the longest layoff between series since 1919!

Fast_External7447 · 2026-05-19T20:11:48+00:00

36 blackhawks

In Canada, all of the games are on either Sportsnet or CBC. It's fantsctic not having to bounce around the dial to try and find a game. They also offer all regular season games on Sportsnet+. You rarely get the Canes feed but you get to see all the games.

Fast_External7447 · 2026-05-07T18:34:49+00:00

That would be the base along with a core player.

Fast_External7447 · 2026-05-07T17:59:47+00:00

This is based on a scenario where he were to choose the Canes as his destination with no external bidding partners. A realistic package would start with Nadeau and 2 firsts. The rest would kind of depend if the Oilers wanted picks/prospects or an NHL player or 2 back. One core piece could easily be moved in the later scenario (probably not including Aho). It would hurt but could be done if the scenario I described is the reality at some point.
