I have no idea how someone associated with Carolina didn't see they had a decade's worth of teams that every advanced metric said should've made the playoffs easily but kept failing to do so because their goaltending stunk.

UPL wasn't the reason we lost but in a way he was. None of those goals were on him but it was clear watching live that everything went downhill when he came in. When teams have no confidence in their goalies it affects their play and here it clearly did. Playing most of the game with 5 defensemen also ended up a killer. Second your take on getting the game to OT. They CONSTANTLY give up late goals to piss away points and if you look back at last season that was in fact what cost us the playoffs.

He tried to take Tuch's head off with a Slapshot style flying elbow.

Ratface can sure be proud for landing that big sucker punch when Tuch was on the ground with the official on top of him.

He honestly deserves more than that for that chicken ***** sucker punch on Tuck when he was down on the ice.

The epic ***** housery by Ottawa at the end was ridiculous, and of course the incompetent officials rewarded them for it.

The home opener took all the enthusiasm for this team and in one night killed it deader than a door nail. It sent the message out loud and clear that nothing had changed and this team and organization were still a waste of everyone's time and money.

Why plug a huge hole using one of your countless forward prospects and prevent the guy you just gave a ton of money to from being destroyed like Risto or Myers were? Because this organization is owned and run by absolute fools. Soon to be 13 years ***** all and counting, I'm just tired of this neverending *****.

Which is why they are the least successful owners in hockey history.

He is Darcy 2.0 in that the only way he makes a significant trade is if someone is holding a gun to his head.

They clearly came into the season unprepared. Dom Granato sucks and isn't an NHL quality coach. Kevyn needs to get off his sorry ass and hire a real credible NHL quality coach or this bull ***** is never going to end.

Hate to interrupt with reality but 5v5 stats have this game we "dominated" pretty much even. Vs Montreal. At home.

But then we might have had to give up one or two of our 8,000 undersized skilled forward prospects, WON'T YOU THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!!!!!

He is tactically inept. The end of game clownshow vs Calgary was the type of thing you should never see happen at this (or any) professional level.

DEATH TO THE NHL NETWORK!!!!!!!

I think back to something Ole Anderson once said to Jim Cornette: "Jim, I used to think you were a dumb ***** but so many other dumb ***** have come along since that you moved up the ladder without even trying!".

If we can't beat a team at home who just played a brutal game vs arguably the best team in the conference 20 hours earlier and starting their #2 in goal instead of the guy who was robbed of the Vezina we may as well just start the 2024 Draft Lottery Watch thread the second the game ends.

Obviously their management has been awful which is why they have been one of the top teams in the league for decades.

An organization that's been a contender for decades thought he was worth the money. The organization that is currently on a historic run of failure felt he was not. How it turned out was entirely predictable to anyone with common sense. Or to put it another way: Joe Sakic says "Do that." Mike Milbury says "Don't do that". Whose advise are you taking?

Sean Burke could come out of retirement tomorrow and be #1 on our team.

We are getting Varlamov instead of Sorokin and they are playing tonight vs NJ. NO ***** EXCUSES
