    Was trying to get the canes game last night, frustrated that you need like live tv and couldn't get it, better I didn't watch. They've done this the past how many years... Hope they can turn it around next game.

    I think a big part is they alternate goalies all year then wonder why only playing 1 for the entire playoffs backfires... Wear out Anderson and shelve Koch until they need him and he's super cold.
    Man, I know you’re a big fan so I’m not trying to rub salt, but Rob’s zero wins in the ECF is crazy. How is that possible?  He’s done a great job but they might have to go another way. That can’t happen. 

    FTR - the Panthers are that good so I didn’t expect Canes to win the series, but still. 

    At some point the salary cap will catch Florida.

    I don’t like either team, but I kinda hope Carolina’s ECF futility continues.

    I don’t like Tkachuk (no one does) but that was NOT “embellishment.”

    Probably like they said, he did take a dive early in teh game and that was the officials evening the score.

    It is absolute craziness. And then people say blow up the team and change everything. But you forget that you've had a top 4 team in the league for how long now lol.
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    Definitely can't blow up the team.  It's too good.  

    Did they end up winning or losing in the all of the movement with Mikko?

    Not sure, didnt follow it that close, but it's a win for everyone to get rid of a guy who doesn't want to be on the team. I know he hardly did anything when he was in carolina.

    I can’t believe how hapless Dallas looks on offense. Really surprised. Have the Oilers come that far defensively?

    after watching way more hockey than normal for the past few weeks, I’m thinking these guys might be the most skilled professional athletes of ALL professional athletes. It’s insane, skating at whatever MPH and making pinpoint passes (usually) and (usually) knowing exactly where you should be, whether on offense or defense.

    Football? yeah, you have your “skill positions” but we all know how to run, throw and catch. plus, there’s plenty of O Line positions where the biggest qualifier is being 350 pounds.

    Baseball? they say hitting a major league pitch is the hardest thing in professional sports and I believe it. but you can be a one tool player like big sloppi and still make millions.

    NBA? some guys are crazy skilled but others, like rudy gobert, are just tall. rudy can’t really dribble or shoot and has hands of stone.

    Tennis? no way I could even return a serve.

    Golf? a lot of skill but I don’t consider a lot of those guys athletes.

    soccer? no.
