We are the biggest disappointment in the league right now. That's for sure.

Yeah, honestly the sky is probably falling for some but this game felt more Canes-like than some of the others I've seen. Even included the lack of scoring.
I get that ot points count, but this team started 10-5-6 last year. Not below hockey .500, but they lost more games than they won over the first quarter of the season.
Then they won 15 of 16. Life comes at you fast.

Step one, fix the damn PK. Hopefully Staal turns it around pretty soon but his penalty killing hasn’t looked great this season so far.
And it feels like teams have just got their playbook figured out. Their passing looks like hot garbage right now. Maybe it’s because their so predictable?
They also seem the be struggling a bit when teams come at them with speed in transition. Like they’re waiting to gum it up along the boards and teams just aren’t giving them that opportunity.
It’s still super early in the season for the sky to be completely falling. A couple of good games at home, and getting healthy can should get them going again.

I don't miss Ned at all.
I do however question bringing back Freddie and Raanta. None of our goaltenders give me a lot of confidence right now.

Why was Orlow not protected by his teammates? That’s a bunch of cheap shots there with Stamkos getting in some free shots

I have reached middle age so I have a little insight. We suck right now. And we might suck by the end of the season as well. But we might not suck either.

Because that's just how we roll. Someone could literally end say Aho's career with a check and our team would stand around twiddling their thumbs.
And we still have people pretending we can win a championship with this mindset. Just add more talent like it's EA NHL sports.

If we had the mindset you believe we do, we wouldn’t be wasting a roster spot on Lemieux (and to a lesser degree, Bunting).
Instead of taking 10 yapping right then, he should have been on the ice paying back Stamkos or another for that gang mugging. Of course, that presumes RBA would have put him on the ice.
Drury of all the Canes, shouldn’t be the one pushing back.

RBA doesn’t put him on the ice because he doesn’t contribute anything on the ice. He had 6 minutes of ice time last night and still managed to take a minor. All while doing nothing offensively or defensively.

really a worthless player and signing honestly. Wonder if we see some of the kids in his place once they get healthy (Pono, Suzuki)

We'll bounce back
I’m still not sure why they chose to tinker with what was working well…the gem of the portfolio so to speak. Feels like there may be lingering affects of the summer negotiations and roster additions beyond newness and familiarity to overcome.
Or, maybe it is getting harder to believe in the message and approach? Some of them have been at it for a while now. Would RBA welcome some fresh eyes to his coaching team?

Not that it would have mattered in the game but it's freaking laughable that Tampa came out of that with a PP.
