Watching the latest Spittin Chiclets podcast, and it is hilarious at this point. Biz is desperately trying to give some respect to the Canes, and the other guys just won’t have it. They are purely focused on how Ottawa lost the series that they all (aside from Biz) predicted the Senators would win. Biz is then like “you guys doubted the Canes,” but they won’t have it.
Then, one of the hosts (who predicted the Sens would win) then goes on to predict the Canes will get stomped by Tampa Bay, another says Buffalo would “work” us, and a third says Philly will win the next round.
It’s just funny at this point. I’ll always take being underrated over being overrated. But ANY other team in the league does what the Canes did to Ottawa, these people would be drooling over how great they are. But the Canes? I mean, we make it to the ECF two of the last three years, win at least a round 8 years in a row (first time since Montreal over 30 years ago), and we’re still deemed a team that “is good in the regular season but sucks in the playoffs.” Mind boggling.
