I don’t disagree, but last year’s team also peaked too early and didn’t show up for the playoffs. Not sure what team that was. My homerism is hoping this means we can get it together and look better in April than we do now. My eyes tell me if it wasn’t for the Staal line and Svech we’d have a losing record right now. #bipolarcanes

Maybe this means Kase is going to be out longer than expected? I'm glad to see this.

He shot 7th or 8th deep. Faked to the right so hard Vas committed and Aho brought the puck back to the left and shot it in. Thing a beauty.

I started the game late, but man what a game. It just seems sweeter when we beat Tampa with Vasilevskiy in the net. Dude is something else. Hats off to Freddie too. I really thought we were going to beat ourselves with the stupid penalties in the 2nd, but nice to see us overcome that and pull out a win. We got to fix these penalties though. Cardiac Canes is becoming real. Brady's shorthander to force overtime, and then all the stops in the shootout. That fake Aho put on Vas to seal it made my jaw drop. Things to improve as always, but good win on the road tonight Canes!

I checked the score at 2nd intermission and thought the Pens were going to put them to bed. Does suck that Boston is much better this year, but sounds like the end of the game would have been a good one to watch.

We got a lot of room for improvement, but dang what a win. Let’s Go Canes!

3-1!

Now let’s get one more so I can go to bed.

Ah, I gotcha now.

They’ll have to trade for it. They don’t have a 1st next year.

"What's that Parrot doin?" Good Luck Robbie.

Well HEY! That's true. Too bad the offense doesn't get much use out of the endzones, haha.

Tepper's the one that's made me stop caring about this team. Has he made a good decision since buying the team? He's the reason Matt is here.

We enjoy the messes so much we added twins back in February to go with our 7 and 3 year old kids. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL!

Welcome back Tripp! Glad to see he’ll be back with Mike, Shane, and Hanna for the upcoming season. https://www.nhl.com/hurricanes/news/canes-bally-sports-south-announce-2022-23-broadcast-information/c-335505710?fbclid=IwAR0zr80LCUzEEWKzc1Fu-sK1dDN_6HP7_77pMq0UKACknXHy1w1Ajlgumew

Maybe I missed it, but didn’t see anyone mention Ryan is back in the organization. The team is usually good about announcing signings on Facebook. Anyway, found this on the hurricanes website. Does his contract mean he’s likely headed to Chicago? https://www.nhl.com/hurricanes/news/canes-agree-to-terms-with-dzingel/c-335081244

IMHO, we peaked early this year. This slide started at the end of the regular season. We had 1st place in the metro comfortably in our hands and had to fight to keep it. We had games with 30+ shots that we lost. It also didn't help losing Freddie. Rod has taken us to the playoffs the last 4 years and into the 2nd round in 3 of those. Yes it sucks not get to the big dance, but we were bottom feeders the 9 years prior. I want to see improvement. The PP has got to get better, and we need to contend on the road, and our stars need to show up. Big players make big plays when the pressure's on, and we couldn't even score a goal when the goalie was out of the crease. BUT, I'd much rather have the last 4 seasons as opposed to the previous 9. If we can fix the power play, keep our level of play throughout the season, and have some things fall our way we'll get better. Coaches always need to be on the hot seat to get better and to improve, but I'm not ready to pull the plug on Rod if he doesn't win the cup next year. We could replace him with the Matt Rhule of hockey. Just typing that made me cringe!

I know you mean this game, but I thought the same for Anderson. Sucks he was on the shelf for this playoff run.

Aho missing the open goal sums up this series for him, and the team really.

Sorry I spoke it true guys. I said we had to win one on the road. Worst fear has come true.

It seems like I’ve heard something like this before….

Where’d Captain Positivity go?

Last night's game has given me a lot of confidence for tomorrow. Even commentators after the game mentioned how much our 4 lines were going against 2 lines for NY. I really hope we can put this thing away tomorrow night.

Yes it was. They played an excellent game tonight.
