Impressive. Freddie was very good tonight.

A b2b 6-goal 3rd period- I'm sportin' wood!

"Canes playing well, but..." The operative word. And as soon as I posted, they put 6 shots on goal in less than 4 minutes.

Canes playing well for a b2b, but they gotta get pucks on goal.

Bussi wasn't too busy last night, I'd put him back out there.

Freddie! The secret weapon!

He's 34 and doesn't fit the Canes for anything more than 2 seasons. His production is at his lowest level in 8 seasons and he's near the end of his career. I'll take a 29-year old Tuch.

NY Rangers announced they will not offer Panarin an extension. He's 34, and in the last year of a contract that pays him $11.6M AAV. NY GM Drury says he'll work with Panarin to trade him wherever he wants to go.

There's a chance. Florida's injury list is long- Marchand, Seth Jones, Tkachuk, Nosek, Gadjovich, Barkov, Kulikov, Schmidt. But I see Freddie penciled in. I'll reserve comment until lineups are due later this afternoon. I'll miss this one due to a social commitment, but I'll be checking my phone when I can.

If money is no object: Tuch, Marchessault, Panarin, Petterson

Ghost is the PP QB and, statistically, the team's best PP producer.

Exactly. I would take Hamilton over..... none of these 6.

https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/3456159/report-maple-leafs-hurricanes-among-teams-interested-in-hamilton The Toronto Maple Leafs and Carolina Hurricanes are among the teams with interest in New Jersey Devils defenseman Dougie Hamilton, reports The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun. However, it's believed that the Maple Leafs would only consider a trade if the Devils retained a significant portion of Hamilton's contract, LeBrun adds. Hamilton is signed for two more seasons after 2025-26 with a $9-million cap hit. He also has a 10-team trade list, but Hamilton's agent, J.P. Barry, said his client is willing to consider teams outside that list to help accommodate a move. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Someone needs to explain how this benefits the Canes in any way. Any weakness on Carolina's blue line is a result of RBA's inability to establish any pairings with Slavin not in the lineup. Hamilton is far from physical and, in many respects, he's a younger version of Brent Burns. Not a physical intimidator in any way and a fairly mediocre D-man. The only draw may be his offense? There are a few other priorities I would like to see addressed heading into the playoffs before bringing in a retread D-man.

Nikishin & Blake aren't going anywhere. Both have big upside and are essentially still getting their feet wet in the NHL. Trading either of them would not be a smart move. Would I like to see Elias Petterson in Raleigh? Sure, but not at $11M AAV.

Well, I guess we know which team showed up.

Now, we'll watch the wheels fall off the Bus and finish the season with a couple washed goalies.

Canes gonna get shut out tonight. Lazy, slow, no net-front, shooting from the point.... lazy hockey.

I dunno. Canes couldn't get a call last night- can't spoil #91 night. Can't spoil Blues HOF night, the Canes might not get any calls tonight either.

Why, oh why, did RBA start Andersen last nite in a consequential game... while Bussi is going against a struggling Blues team?

Plus Suter, Dylan Holloway or Matthieu Joseph. Only Suter & Holloway are centers. And I think all 3 are hurt right now.

Either the Canes take out their anger over last night, or they lay down.

Stevie Wonder could have made that call. You gotta wonder, the trip that put Jarvis into the net and onto the injured list, the charging or boardbing that landed Slavin back on the injured list shortly after his return to the ice.... I mean, WTF?

Told you they wouldn't get a call tonight

I think the Canes have 4 or 5 b2bs remaining. Performance would dictate Bussi starting every game and Freddie getting the front or back end of that b2b, depending on the match up. That would also mean seeing Freddie but a few more times.
