Absolutely incredible! Been a fan since the early 80s. Definitely one of the top five most riveting wins I can remember. This team was absolutely dead in the water after two periods.

I'm very glad the Canes went back to Freddy Anderson...  guy is a total disaster.

Quote from: Messiah717 on May 16, 2024, 08:42:27 PMWhat a disgusting collapse this is going to be.  While there's no excuse when you're up 3-0 in a series a lot of this will rest on Drury's shoulders.  Added absolutely nothing at the deadline to help the Rangers in the playoffs.  Two guys who lack offense and are complete non factors.

It's been a slow moving car crash ever since that ridiculous late penalty in game four, leading to the game winning goal for Carolina. Been a complete disaster since then. Our guys look utterly lethargic in comparison to the opponent.

At this point (second intermission) the Hurricanes are now a favorite in this series. I know nobody wants to hear that, and I don't either, but it's a fact.

Quote from: miss86 on May 16, 2024, 08:35:59 PMI think Atlanta is going to be tuff this year. I think they are going to be a good team with QB Cousins and Giants playing in their stadium. The good part is, it will be much warmer there than the NE.

I agree about Atlanta. They have some legit weapons, and now they will finally have competent QB play. Could be an interesting team this year. I won't be surprised at all if they win that division.

Not as bad of a period as the shots on goal indicated but not good either. They better figure things out quick....

Quote from: EDjohnst1981 on May 16, 2024, 03:43:18 PMI put my son (10) to bed at 6pm. I've been getting him at midnight for puck drop. He loves it, sticks his Bread jersey on and wants a midnight snack with the game. I've enjoyed the playoffs as always but I'm just not relaxed about it.

My Mrs also gets up and watches it with us- she felt like she was missing out after all the noise during the Washington series!

Fantastic!!

Quote from: Philosophers on May 16, 2024, 02:21:24 PM6-11 feels right until I see vast improvement in certain areas.

That's how I feel. We're a bad team until proven otherwise.

Yes we added a couple of compelling pieces like Burns and Nabers, and on paper at least the line looks like it might be better, but we also lost some very good players and out QB situation is less than ideal, to say the least. We also have a rookie DC who is a complete wildcard at this point.

I'll check it out and watch one episode one day when I feel like watching something and can't find anything else. And then I'll decide if I want to watch the rest of them or not.

Wow. Those are brutal!

Quote from: Ed Vette on May 16, 2024, 04:53:48 PMToo many comparable options that would fit and would still be correct.

Exactly.

Not to be sour grapes, but I find it a little annoying when they do that.

Quote from: LennG on May 15, 2024, 07:21:38 PM' How many years now have we ended the season against the Iggles?

I hate playing on Thanksgiving

We should have had the bye before the Thanksgiving week game.

Agreed. Didn't we just have a Thanksgiving game a couple years ago?
