But then again like Panthers Fan said, just win Thursday. Any team is better for the Canes to play than the Rags.

Id rather see the Canes play the Islanders than follow up with a seven game series against Florida, assuming the canes beat Florida Thursday and Montreal wins tonight.

Well I want a win as well, but will be pulling for the Islanders today to win 2 points in regulation since Scenario 2 would be the best matchup to give the Canes a good playoff start. Panthers have been hot as of late winning 6 of their last 7 games.

Check me on this please in case I’m missing something! I’ve read the latest news and all I see is talk about Canes playing either Rangers or Panthers first round, but looking at the standings it seems possible Canes could end up playing the Islanders. The scenarios: Scenario 1 If Canes lose to the Panthers Thursday and NJD beat the Capitals then it’s clear that Canes would play the Rangers in the 1st round. Scenario 2 Looking at the current Wild Card standings, it appears to me that if the Islanders beat Montreal today and the Canes beat The Panthers Thursday, Islanders would move up from WC2 to WC1 and Canes would play the Islanders 1st round. Bruins would play the Panthers who would drop down to WC2. Scenario 3 If Canes beat the Panthers and Islanders lose to Montreal today the Panthers would remain at WC1 and Canes would play Panthers 1st round. Bruins would play the Islanders.

No thanks Youtube.

Man I learn things I never knew on CH, thanks for the info on signing undrafted players. This seems like a really good prospect. He’s only a softmore so still quite young, interesting to see how long he will be in the AHL before being brought up.

Not sure how much, they still may have a reason to win against the canes if the Islanders beat Montreal tomorrow. If Canes beat Fla with Islanders beating Montreal, Fla would fall to WC 2 and have to play Boston in the first round.

Raanta stopped 21 of 22 shots, .952 save percentage. He earned that 1st Star. A great team win on a back to back game.

Ok that’s the deal, what a stop by Raanta on the breakaway. Raanta needs to be our man from here on out.

Playing on the wrong end, need a better finish.

Canes have had a lot of grade A chances, need to put ‘em in the net. I want 5-6 goals here. NJD gonna win and it’s up to the Canes to win this and the Panthers game to clinch 1st.

Canes not rolling over this time, fighting right back!

That was a hella save by Raanta. But we gotta stop those odd man rushes

Martinook! 2 baby!

Yes

Noesen!

Nedeljkovic in net. He beat us last time.

nope, scratched. hasn’t been doing so well the few games I checked.

Prolly since as soon as you do that the opposing team will do a line change for their top line as soon as they can.

Seems to me Pool Party is starting to play better, some good hits and hustle around the net gave him some good scoring chances. Not a great pickup but I bet he scores soon.

Drury is fast and skilled but not close to Svech in size and experience. On the canes roster Drury listed as 5-11 174lb, Svech 6-2 195 lb. Svech is a heavy hitter, he and Drury have different roles.

Canes have had a drought as far as lucky goals and rebound shots, time for the statistics to start even out and Canes to score 4+ goals.

The post game clip posted online Rod was not happy and obviously frustrated with Canes play other than the penalty kill which was excellent against a team with a strong PP. Totally agree with Rod needs to look in the mirror. Strategy and lineups should be adjusted based on the team you play, not just “play our game”.

He’s listed in the lineup on the NHL ap Canes starting lineup posted by Walt Ruff this morning, so likely. Sometimes the listed lineups change nearer the start time so can’t say for sure.

I had hoped for more goals from Ghost, but he has played some good defense at least at times.
