Lastly, get tony D off the fuging team.  This guy stinks.  Go with Morrow over the guy.  

Can we really talk about Freddie?  He had some nice saves last night but he is letting in 3-4 goals a game over the last 3-4 games.  His save % is .809ish.  We we need the timely save, we aren't getting it.   It's firmly time to move to the kid.  Koochie needs to inject some life in this team.

It won't be home ice. I guarantee that the arena will be half Rags fans as Canes fans are selling their seats as we speak after losing the first 2.

Look, facts are facts. The Rags aren't that good 5v5. They are a 2-line team and can't match the Canes speed. But all of that is nullified by bad penalties and horrible officiating. You can only control one of those. And, unfortunately, the Canes vaunted PK has gone missing. It's not unlike any other post season in the last 6 years- seems the Canes always leave some part of their game off the plane, whether it's goaltending, scoring or special teams. 

I don't see the Canes winning 4 of the next 5, and I'll be pleasantly surprised if they take both at home, but I'm not anticipating it. I've resigned myself to the fact I can go to Canes games during the season and watch them play good hockey and win a lot of games. But when it comes to the post season, all bets are off.

 

 

Il be there Thursday and Friday but my hopes are all but tempered.  ill cheer and all that good stuff, but yeah, not looking forward to seeing cary come out in full force.

Agreed he's just not pulling the trigger on time either....

Which is crazy because he had 3 even strength assists last night. The rags aren't doing anything crazy on the kill it's just a standard 4 man stationary box.

 

The power play was elite when we would cycle around.  Cycle cycle cycle.  In this series, no one is moving, its pass pass pass pass above the blue line.  No one is moving.  We were watching the game last night with one of the parents that has a kids that plays in the canes program and he we talked about this example.  No one is trying to get beside the net or cycle.  Its turning the power play into power pass...

The Canes are 9-8 in OT playoff games going back to Bill Peter's last year as head coach.

Since florida....

This is an interesting take that I'm not sure enough folks are talking about. Not the trading part, but the walk year that he's entering. 

Only guaranteed back on this roster next year is Brooks. That's not to say that Hubbard couldn't be re-signed....just seems more unlikely, than likely.

 Miles makes the most sense to be cut/traded due to his contract, but Chuba being a FA & the direction that the league is trending with not paying backs 2nd contracts, makes this a real possiblity too. 

Sanders has zero trade value.  If you can get a few defalted footballs in the deal then so be it.  

Flushing the game from the memory and moving on.  Here is the game thread for tmrw.  Hoping Koochie get the net.  Freddie is getting worse each game.  

I have a good feeling about this one......

Svech!

Apparently Aho did a NHLXM call just before 10 AM if you have the app. I’m going to rewind and listen later. 

Heard it.  Nothing special but it was fun to hear Aho talk about the team.

That guy is a cancer and will fug up that chemistry they have. Florida didn’t need to make a move. 

Bump!  Sanko is a cancer and has made florida worse!

oi

I said this last month.  I new it would happen.  sanko is a cancer...

History isn't on the side of the presidents club winner, however, we just seem different.  our arrow is going up minus a stinker here and there.  

Well folks…we are rolling! Offense looks good, D is great, PP is starting to come back around and PK is just absurdly good. 

also, with a win tonight and a rangers loss, canes are officially tied in points. Unbelievable compared to where the season started. Let’s go canes!

Ya. We all know you are willing to mortgage the farm for a 2 month rental. The issue that you aren’t really accounting for is 5 out of 7 of those guys won’t see nhl ice for a few years. Outside of Pono and maybe FUS(who I could see jumping the AHL from what we saw this pre-season), even Perets needs AHL time. They will become our core over time. 

We have plenty of other good prospects that are serviceable for a 2 month INJURED and Injury prone rental who will need time adjusting to our system. Not our high end prospects. Thats why I’d prefer Buch who I think we can get for a much more reasonable price and he’s got a year left on his contract. 

If it wins us a cup...heck I am!   Buch would be good too though.  Prob would be cheaper and have term.  

Still learning soccar   Is this a good move?

Martin in net.  Confirmed on 99.9 an hour ago.  

Should be rested.  Lets hope our boys get back to scoring goals and not playing piss poor on offense.  

Thank god for our canes!  We are so spoiled right now.  Just gotta enjoy the ride

Hopefully he goes the TD route and stops getting hurt while turining into an elite player.  Imagine us giving up on Davis after his three knee injuries.

We lost to the Wild because the entire team played like ass. 

I disagree.  Being there live, the team played well.  I just can t stress this enough.  the goalie play with Raanta is not good enough to stop 1-1s when guys like Orlov have bad breakdowns.
