Lord Dundon, General Manager by Committee, and Coach Roddy is the new regime for this season. And we're absolutely waxing teams in the preseason, although it is the preseason.
Time to get hyped and excited, I may even do a breakdown in the next few days if I'm up to it. 9/21/2018 8:15:52 PM |

5-1 preseason win against the Caps.
Beat Tampa twice earlier in the week 4-1 and 6-1.
I think watching the Baby Braves succeed in baseball has me more optimistic that this group is going to turn the corner and surprise some folks. 9/21/2018 10:07:59 PM |

We have some serious talent waiting to take some spots. I was absolutely floored by how well we played in the preseason. Rod has this team conditioned well and playing hard. Effort will not be an excuse this year. That is for certain. 9/24/2018 9:51:08 AM |

im trying to keep some emotional distance from the team to start this season, the past few years in particular have been especially brutal considering expectations to begin the season and where we eventually ended up
but fuck tonight was FUN HOCKEY

You could not be more wrong.
That being said, goaltending is a serious concern. Cam would have been better last night than Mrazek. He was horrid.10/8/2018 11:42:12 AM |
SuperDude All American 6922 Posts user info edit post |
A lot of the goals were practically open net due to defensive breakdowns. The last goal was an accident, he anticipated correctly.
That said I think Mrazek is out of position too much and it makes things extra chaotic when there's a puck anywhere in the dirty area.

Rod has this team playing hard and I absolutely love the pace. I think Rod's conditioning and effort requirement has been all the difference. Look at Jordan's start to the season. I am trying not to be too impressed but when was the last time you've seen a Canes team fight back so many times as they did last night AND WIN. 10/8/2018 3:11:05 PM |

The Jets are a good team and last night we just looked tired. Back to back, high-intensity games can do that. I am still thoroughly impressed with this team so far. 10/15/2018 1:03:13 PM |

Turnovers on powerplays lead to two close losses in a row. Gotta get a little better at clearing the puck.
These guys need a home game to rebound a little. 10/17/2018 10:28:05 AM |

In a little rut at the moment, hopefully they can rebound against the Coyotes. They are still playing at an absolute blistering pace but seem to have defensive lapses at the absolute perfect time for the other team to beat us by a goal. 11/1/2018 2:06:04 PM |

They have me semi-intrigued again, and I've actually bothered to watch a few games on TV for the first time in five years or so. There's a little too much "doubling up the opponent in shots yet still finding ways to lose" going on though. If they're still in the mix in 2019 I'll probably care more, but the majority of Raleigh isn't going to care about these dudes until they're in the playoffs again. 11/1/2018 2:14:59 PM |

wow this team is pretty bad. You could call them snakebit if there were more than a handful of skilled offensive players. But they are just bad.
I know it’s very tired to keep bringing it up but holy shit trading sweet precious Jeffrey away was Dumbass Move of the Century, even if you ignore how shitty of a return we got. 12/29/2018 4:43:37 PM |
