Harbingers

We got so lucky we didn’t have a 2 minute 5-3 penalty kill there.

First Skjei goal!! Excellent open rebound shot.

We need to wake up. They are out playing us seriously right now.

Oof four minutes of PP and no goal.

Holy poo, I just noticed the linesman was pushing Svech off the blue line to clear his view. Wtf league???

COLUMBUS - A four-game set between the Carolina Hurricanes and Columbus Blue Jackets shifts to Ohio's capital city. The Match-Up Carolina Hurricanes (20-7-3, 43 points) at Columbus Blue Jackets (13-12-7, 33 points) Monday, March 22, 7 p.m. Watch: FOX Sports Carolinas, FOX Sports GO Listen: 99.9 FM The Fan, Hurricanes.com/Listen, Hurricanes app 11: Though Hamilton didn't end up netting the game-winning goal on Saturday, he did record the primary assist on Foegele's go-ahead goal in the third period. That helper extended Hamilton's career-long point streak to 11 games, tying Mark Howe's franchise record for longest point streak by a defenseman. It's also the longest active point streak in the NHL and the longest by an NHL defenseman this season. 100: Martin Necas is set to play in his 100th career NHL game. Necas, who was drafted by the Canes 12th overall in 2017, has recorded 59 points (22g, 37a) in his first 99 games. 43: The Canes are 20-7-3, setting a new franchise best for points (43) through the first 30 games of a season. https://www.nhl.com/hurricanes/news/gameday-preview-carolina-hurricanes-columbus-blue-jackets/c-322779794 https://www.nhl.com/hurricanes/news/projected-lineup-carolina-hurricanes-columbus-blue-jackets/c-322784386 Forwards Niederreiter-Aho-Necas Svechnikov-Staal-Fast McGinn-Martinook-Foegele Paquette-Geekie-Lorentz Defensemen Slavin-Hamilton Skjei-Pesce Fleury-Bean Goalies Nedeljkovic Reimer Injuries: Mrazek (right thumb), Teravainen (concussion symptoms; injured reserve), Trocheck (upper body) Taxi squad: Gardiner, Keane, McCormick, Warm\ Looks like no Tro.

I read somewhere if he ends up on the exempt list they can void his contract completely though. I’ll see if I can find the article. I think it was PFT. I do agree it seems odd they wouldn’t do it until after a trade but the backlash on them from the potential team/nfl is probably not worth the Capital they would have gained.

I doubt he does, maybe Thursday depending on how he’s feeling though. Mrazek is a no, Ned is getting the start according to Rod.

Right on queue. Apparently both Mrazek and Tro will travel according to Michael in replys. Tro not likely to play though. Not sure if that implies Mrazek will or not but at least they are traveling.

I don’t know challenge rules that well, is that even something a coach can challenge?

Mrazek and Reimer at this point I think. Which ever is better for Ned safety next year though. If that means keeping Ned active then Mrazek and Ned unless Ned really starts to struggle. Give Reimer some time off and bring him back late season.

Ya I feel like there overtime power play was the Gimme for that. But they should have. It was a clear penalty that would have put the game away in regulation.

Classic “mid” season slump. Gotta put a stop to it in Columbus. Two home losses in a row is ouch.

We need Tro back any way you look at it. I’m sorry 3rd line ain’t cutting it right now and fourth is almost no exinsistant. I hope Rod scrambles the lines if we don’t have Tro for the next few games. Put some of the young bloods up with the big boys.

There is no way you can’t pay Dougie now, with trocheck out he’s slipped into #1 statistically. Im still furious at Rod though for not putting Aho out there sooner. I get giving Svech a chance but play Aho in the guaranteed shots.

I don’t even blame reimer there. Our shooters didn’t hit open marks 2 times in a row, Necas fumbled the puck and all rod had to do was put Seabass on the ice and he didn’t.

I expect Mrazek to travel with us this trip.

I was yelling for Aho the entire time. It’s all rod had to do 3 fails in a row.

Why he didn’t put Aho in I’ll never know.

So so bad. Wasn’t even questionable. Let’s hope reimer works a little of that SO magic.

Fug missed their goal too. Dunno if it was a reimer or defense issue.

Did I just hear Svech got a goal???

No lineup changes to report besides reimer in net this evening.

I’d like to see us come out in control tonight and maintain it. It doesn’t have to be goals but all around. Better defense is key too. We don’t need 30 direct shots on reimer. I hope he’s dialed in.

When will they learn.
