We needed that PP for a killing goal. Crank it up Canes!

You called it!

1st game we played the panthers they basically matched us in SOG and we lost. 2nd game Canes 34 SOG to Panthers 19 and we won 4-0. SOG is definitely a big factor and hopefully we limit theirs next two periods.

I noticed that, NHL ap shows SOG 12-12. We need to keep the puck in their end in the 2nd.

Burnsey stopped a wraparound that would likely have been a goal. Earning his pay.

Caps over Devils 3-0 in the 1st not that we care. We want this game!

Burnsey!!! Rocket!

I read that some areas around Sunrise FL had flooding due to the heavy rains, wonder if that’s causing delays in the fans getting there.

I’m with you on that, Stepan should be on the ice.

lol Fast created that trip for a Canes PP

Or for more fun just go to the Carolina Panthers forum and join in the endless Young-Stoud debates. Wait… I bet you’re already in the middle of that haha

We’re gonna win! Always have a backup plan. If Panthers score 2 goals in the 1st gonna grab a glass of wine and switch to the Braves game. lol

Hurricanes flight was diverted to Miami last night, Ft. Lauderdale airport was closed due to torrential rains. Canes already at arena for morning skate. Sunrise FL light rain stopped now all is good to go.

Canes need to open up Lyon’s net early to take away some of that confidence he’s been building this past month. Freddie tends to give up early goals and then tighten up, so Canes need to score first and often. If Freddie holds em off first period that would be a good sign. Balls to the wall first period please gents.

Looks like Freddie in net tonight.

Just to show exactly what the Canes are facing in the Panthers, I’ve pasted the below from the Canes nhl ap (Walt Ruffs “Puck Drop” write up). The way both teams have been playing there’s no doubt the Canes are the underdogs. On paper the Canes lose. I believe the Canes will rise to the occassion and win, but this will be a real battle, make no mistake.

Alex Lyon in net for the Panthers, he’s played well this season with a .916 save percentage and has limited teams to 2 goals or less the last 5 games.

Like most of you I thought surely Rod has to put Raanta in net. But I looked at both Raanta’s and Freddie’s road records for this season on statmuse and to me it’s a mixed bag. Raanta had a lot of highs and lows GA. Freddie had a lot of 3 GA. Both had a lot of 2s. Then I looked at the two games against the Panthers, 0-3 away and 4-0 home Raanta in net for both. So absolutely I ain’t gonna pick lol.

Most of those stats included Svech.

The Canes want to maintain 1st in the Metro and face the Islanders first round. Panthers don’t want to face Boston. This game is equivalent to a playoff game and both teams will bring their best.

It’s official - Panthers do NOT want to play Boston and will be playing their best players against us. Let the battle begin!

No kidding. Canes are 4 and 6 for the last 10 games! Winning tomorrow is a must just to save face.

Oops-Scenario 4 Canes lose to Panthers in regulation, Devils lose to Capitals in regulation. Canes maintain 1st in Metro and play the Panthers. Still a must win, holding on to 1st due to another team losing sucks.

Pens out, Canes path is shorter now it’s either the Islanders or the Rags. TOMORROW IS A MUST WIN.
