Harbingers

Well that was certainly an onslaught.

Holy poo, deflect deflect!

Forwards Niederreiter-Aho-Necas Svechnikov-Staal-Fast McGinn-Martinook-Foegele Paquette-Geekie-Lorentz Defensemen Slavin-Hamilton Skjei-Pesce Fleury-Bean Goalies Reimer Nedeljkovic Injuries: Gardiner (upper body), Mrazek (right thumb), Teravainen (concussion symptoms), Trocheck (upper body) https://www.nhl.com/hurricanes/news/projected-lineup-nashville-predators-carolina-hurricanes/c-322373440 I was hoping they'd give Paquette a shot at the second line and keep everything mostly the same. That First Line is gonna be serious though, holy poo. The martinook line should be interesting though. Hopefully Martinook remembers it's a hockey goal tonight.

True that and I expect probably geekie to rise to the occasion on the fourth line. It’ll be interesting to see how rod puts the lines together though. But I will say Trocheck has been playing lights out across the boards. It’s going to be harder to replace his presence on the second line & Power Play.

Oof, Tro is out and no TT.

If they want to keep Robby around they should try and extend him too. That's another 5.5M in cap space freed up. That would leave only Moton and Bridgewater +10M.

Why just be pissed at their contracts in specific? The whole roster is completely fugged from just 4 years of Hurney and frankly Rhule didn't help much last year either when you go through the numbers. We are lucky we got out not being right next to the saints in cap hell.

The difference between 2 games and 7+ games.

Makes their deals more trade friendly now though I would assume.

Which is pretty crazy because I’m pretty sure that means they only have 1 NHL starter on their defensive line.

Full explanation in the video.

There was a fair amount of luck with the Predator wiffing on the puck and him being in the purpose place to take it from behind him unopposed. Once he started skating away I thought maybe he could do something. Glad he just took the shot even with Necas waiting in the wings. Last night was not our best passing or puck handling night.

Glad they are dealing with it today so if he does take a suspension it will hopefully apply tomorrow.

Dammit lightning.

Come on Detroit, you know you want to beat the reigning champs.

Ya from the clearing attempt by us early last game. Didn't realize it was that low, looked more like it hit his upper jaw ear from the replay. No teeth lost or broken bone though fortunately.

I was too worried until the end of the third and OT there. He was way overthinking everything but did have some really nice saves too so i'm not knocking him too much. Just didn't like the way things were trending on his end if we had to go to a shootout.

Thank. You. Staal. Was not looking forward to Ned on the shootout there. Ned was way to in his own headspace there.

Ok. Let’s put this one away boys.

Did anyone see where Nino got cut? I missed it?

Snipe snipe snipe!

How many fugging guys are they going to take out? Rod looks concerned at this point.

Ok there's a little life. Still should have been a major though.

We better show up in the third, tonight's gonna be a write-off.
