Revenge for Forsling...

One shot, one goal!

Maybe we can get a shot on this PP...

That might've been the most intentional high stick I've ever seen. Some bitch poo tbh...

Time to whip out the PP...

TayTay with the gorgeous setup!

Robinson!!!!

Other than Aho's controller disconnecting in the middle of the ice, I really liked the way we played to close out the period. Win the 3rd, win the game.

Miller with a beautiful play to breakup a breakaway. Bussi with a couple of great saves!

Looking much better on faceoffs tonight. At least there's that.

And, you're not wrong about the turnovers. That is a legitimate concern. But, I think he will cut down on those as he gets more comfortable. Learning when to pinch, when you have help and where your teammates expect you to be, is going to take some time. Maybe he never does, though. Burns and Orlov both struggled with turnovers throughout their times with us. But, both were net positives as players for the team. What excites me about Miller is that when he does turn it over, his ridiculous athleticism and skating ability allow him to, usually, negate his own mistakes. And, the stats seem to bear that out.

NYT: Most Punchable NHL Faces Punch a guy in the NBA, and you’re getting suspended. Punch a guy in the NFL, and you’re getting ejected. Punch a guy in the NHL, and well, you might — might! — have to sit in the penalty box for five whole minutes. But don’t worry, because the other guy probably will, too. I'm, honestly, a little surprised no Canes even received votes. I know we have a bit of a rep for being choir boys to an extent. But, how does this face not earn, at least, one vote? You would think a perennial Cup contender, who plays a frustratingly stifling style of defense, would engender, at least, some contempt from their peers. This quote from the entry about Matthew Tkachuk is pretty illustrative, imo... "Not surprisingly, it’s the guys who tend to camp out in front of the opposing net who are running away with this one." I'm not saying that you have to be hated to be good. However, I do think there might be something to this. The only guys on the Canes that have any real net front presence are Staal and Jarvis. Jordo (and the Staal family at large) is beloved among NHLers. And, really, who could want to punch this face? As Joe Giglio would say, "The Canes have some assholes, but they need a few MFers!" Sure, we have a few grinders like Martinook and Carrier who can push through traffic. But, those guys aren't really moving the needle in that respect. Blake is showing some willingness and ability to fight for some of those dirty goals. Maybe, he can be that guy for us. (From left: Some Rando, Future Canes MFer) The elephant in the room here is #37, obviously.

One sign of how wrong you are is that the only people that agree with you are Rangers fans. That alone should've clued you in.

If the Teppers actually cared, they could've given each of the roughly 6000 families in NC whose houses were lost in the floods $1.5m a piece to rebuild and still have a $10 billion nest egg to fall back on. Instead they funneled the equivalent of pocket change through layers of greasy bureaucracy designed to dilute the impact as much as possible.

It took Burnzie a full season to really find his groove in our system. It took Ghost leaving and coming back to get it. Not sure Orlov ever really picked it up. Even Slavin took some time to master it. Just makes what Nikki and Nystrom are doing that much more impressive!

It was done to keep the bots down. Can't remember what the post count limit is. But, stick around. It's a small, but dedicated group here with a surprisingly high level of hockey knowledge for a bunch of country bumpkins on an NFL forum. And, unlike r/canes you won't get harassed for not conforming to the current groupthink. I'm honestly not even sure if the mods here even know this place exists. Leads to some pretty entertaining irrational crash outs on occasion!

He had a mediocre game against the Sharks. But, nearly every hockey stats site has Key as a top 25 defenseman in the NHL this season. Don't let Cary's finest cloud your judgement on this one.

Philanthropy is what rich people do to convince the unwashed masses not to raise their taxes (or grab their pitchforks) nothing more.

Yes it does.

Whatever you say, Nicole...
