Harbingers

Ok. New game. Take them to school.

I can’t believe Tripp isn’t raging about them being offsides right now. It was clear as day.

His own guy fugged that too, he's so lucky he got the whistle.

They did.

fresh ice rush with the best unit in the league. Only Brobo in our way. He’s been stupidly good this game.

There’s our makeup penalty. Cause that was not a penalty.

I think it’s time for Paquette to show why we brought him in.

Florida is serious right now. We have to step up our game in the third.

Oh they are going to take it away too.

That fugging five hole.

He knows he fugged that too. He better be dishing us power plays.

Go fig your face refs. Your obviously into Greek.

Gotta keep it solid tonight cause they’ll have drieger In net and probably Duclair back Thursday. We got to set the tone early and not let them get behind our defense so easily like the past few times.

Nope. no changes until the draft. Still not expecting much from this team though.

Honestly if they want to move him this would be a win-win option with how he's preformed this year. "Alex Iafallo, Kings (27 years old/ UFA this summer/ $2.425 million salary cap hit): Iafallo is a very good “middle six” player that could play on any team’s second-or third line and make a positive impact. Could the Kings re-sign him before he reaches the open market? Or could they get enough in return in an NHL trade deadline deal that makes a move worth it?" https://nhl.nbcsports.com/2021/04/05/nhl-trade-deadline-15-forwards-who-could-be-traded/ I doubt they want to move him though.

"Carolina Hurricanes: Get Kyle Palmieri: The Hurricanes are sneaky here. They have picks and prospects to trade, they have cap room, and they’re really good. They are also perhaps just a piece or two away from being downright scary, even in a division with the Lightning. Why not go out and get Kyle Palmieri? It might just put them over." https://nhl.nbcsports.com/2021/04/06/what-every-team-should-do-at-the-2021-nhl-trade-deadline/ If McGinn is out for any extended amount of time, plus the TT situation. Which forward would you all want before Monday?

Yep as expected.

I had my doubts Bean would really reach the next level of potential earlier this season but damn was I wrong. He still needs a whole lot of polish but to have this wealth of defensive depth is fun.

"The Carolina Hurricanes host the Central Division-leading Florida Panthers for a two-game set. The Match-Up Florida Panthers (26-9-4, 56 points) vs. Carolina Hurricanes (25-9-3, 53 points) Tuesday, April 6, 7 p.m. Watch: Bally Sports South, FOX Sports GO Listen: 99.9 FM The Fan, Hurricanes.com/Listen, Hurricanes app Numbers to Know 3: Petr Mrazek returned to the crease and stopped all 28 shots he faced against Dallas on Sunday to record his third shutout in just five starts this season. Despite missing 31 games due to injury, Mrazek ranks tied for third in the NHL in shutouts, and his three alone are more than 16 other teams in the league have this season. 4: Vincent Trocheck has scored a goal in each of the four games against the Panthers this season. Trocheck is the only player in franchise history to score in his first four games against his former team after being traded since the league began tracking trades in 1991-92. 10: Trocheck has registered at least a point in each of his last 10 games played (5g, 8a). The Opposition Last five games: 5-0-0, 10 points On the road: 12-5-1, 25 points CAR vs. FLA: 3-0-1 Leading scorer: Jonathan Huberdeau, 42 points (14g, 28a) in 39 games With 56 points through 39 games, the Panthers sit atop the league standings. Despite losing Aaron Ekblad to a left leg fracture that likely ends the defenseman's season (he's sidelined for 12 weeks following surgery), Florida has won six straight games, including four straight at home in the last week. The Panthers now hit the road for a season-long, six-game road trip that takes the team through Raleigh, Dallas and Tampa, a critical stretch as the top three teams jockey for playoff positioning in the Central Division." https://www.nhl.com/hurricanes/news/gameday-preview-florida-panthers-carolina-hurricanes/c-323296038 https://www.nhl.com/hurricanes/news/projected-lineup-florida-panthers-carolina-hurricanes/c-323325518 "The Canes, who have two games in hand, trail the Panthers by three points in the standings enterting this two-game series. Morgan Geekie is expected to draw in on the fourth line with Brock McGinn sidelined by an upper-body injury. Petr Mrazek, who posted a 28-save shutout in his return on Sunday, is the projected starting goalie. Here is the projected lineup for the Hurricanes. Forwards Svechnikov-Aho-Fast Martinook-Trocheck-Necas Niederreiter-Staal-Foegele Paquette-Lorentz-Geekie Defensemen Slavin-Hamilton Skjei-Pesce Fleury-Bean Goalies Mrazek Nedeljkovic Scratch: Reimer Injury: McGinn (upper body), Teravainen (concussion symptoms; injured reserve) Taxi squad: Gardiner, Keane, McCormick" I really hope we keep it physical tonight. We need to get up early and rule the neutral zone. Both their goalies have been good but Drieger has quietly crept up the rankings the past stretch to close to the top league goalie list. Following their past trend though I suspect we will see Bobrovsky tonight and Drieger Thursday. I like going back to Mrazek. Keeps Ned Hungry. Full interviews here.

I do think the writing is on the wall for Reimer though.

Like he says too not being a normal year there’s a lot of teams still in the hunt. Only two officially out and maybe only 4-5 come next Monday in actuality. The rest really depends on how the next two weeks shake down. So there will be a lot of GM’s hedging bets. I think our need is 3RD, 4th proper winger but really someone that could play on the 1-3. In reality probably two. I like Geekie and Lorentz but come playoff time they’ll really have to take their game to the next level. I’d much rather have Paquette at his natural position going into the big dance. I’d hate to move Reimer or Mrazek before this offseason. They e helped build the past few years but thems the breaks in hockey. Plus I trust Reimer more in the playoffs than Mrazek or Ned. I think if Rod had played him more we would have stood a better chance vs. Boston, based on the lead up in the bubble.

Here is the latest on trades from Waddell.

If Rhules on the hot seat it won’t be just because of Darnold. That said I would not be surprised if he’s on the seat next year.
