Nobody called Robinson. And the shutout was gone in 20 seconds.

Worst Canes game I've ever been to. No forecheck, no real O-zone possession time and an overall lackluster effort. Is #52 ready to come back? Even giving him the benefit of the doubt and none of the goals were missiles from distance, toss the 1st goal and the next 3 were soft. There are undoubtedly those here who will defend Kochetkov to the ends of the earth, but he wasn't all that tonight. He made saves, but when he had vision. Every goal scored in the NHL is the result of a missed assignment, or someone out of position, so blaming someone for being out of position is kind of obvious. Hell, if it never happened, you win with shutouts every night. The Canes were horrible tonight. Across the board. Even Slavin got turned around on the 4th goal. The team was not good at all.

Martinook.

Standings: ABH & PF69: 3 each MDC, or1201, PC, DE: 2 each P81 and Damnit: 1 each _________________________ Players with first goals: Jarvis: 4 Svech & Roslovic: 3 each Blake, Martinook & Drury: 2 each Staal, Gostisbehere, Carrier, Orlov, Chatty, Robinson & Necas: all with 1 __________________________ December is a new month with 13 games on the schedule. 7 home, 6 away. 2 back-to-backs, 4 days apart with the Rangers and Preds, on the road Dec 22-23. The second is a away-home against the Devils on Dec 27-28.

Yeah, this is the exact crap that runs rampant on the Panthers board.

I didn't expect the Canes to win any of the last week's games with Martin in net. But, the Canes played 15 games in the 30 days of November, including 3 back-to-backs in the last 2 weeks. Couple the schedule with the fact the team is not playing Canes hockey with a turnstile in net behind them. I'm sorry, I don't care what lineup is on the ice, every player on this roster knows they have to work overtime to help the goalie. If you don't think it's in the back of each player's mind, you're wrong.

Imagine being a Panther fan while talking sh!t about a team who has lost fewer games this season than the Panthers have won in the past 2 seasons.

Canes may get shut out by a scrub goalie.

Florida is not allowing any gaps, they are playing so tight it is negating the Canes speed. Canes are not used to having an opposing player on top of them all the time.

The challenge saves Martin from giving up yet another softie.

Martin with a save!!

Carrier starting on the top line with Aho & Jarvis. RBA needs protection for them going against the Barkov line. Any physicality the Canes had was lost in the off-season (Pesce, Noesen). Orlov, Burns and a couple others need to step it up.

If you got Florida at -115, you're lucky. The line I'm seeing right now is Carolina -120.

Canes are -120 today.

Martinook.

Not that it matters, but Florida had 7 guys on the ice when they scored their 4th goal.

Martin is terrible to the point he's dragging the rest of the team down with him. Guys are not playing the game they're accustomed to knowing he's back there, ready to give up a goal at any minute.

A team can only psych themselves into working hard to cover for a lack of talent for so long. As many goals as he allows, the number of clutch saves is nowhere close to proportionate.

Wonder if they were able to trade for a goalie between periods.

.Martin is terrible. Again,plays way to small and deep.

organicrusty1201 has a Jarvy winner!

Soft as hell. Just weak garbage on Martin. But, that's just one of 3 or 4 he'll give up today.

Good call.... I'll be going with #37 today.

Nobody had Drury from that ridiculous angle shot...

Specifically, clearing pucks toward an unprotected area in the middle of the ice (Brent Burns). Giving up 2 very late goals in both the 1st and 2nd period, both on breakaways after poor puck handling decisions. Spencer Martin? Remember his first start this season, how he looked fairly smooth and calm in net? He has become more frantic in his movement and he's giving up goals high... almost all of them. He plays small. He's not playing big in the crease and he's giving away the top half of the net. I don't know if you can fix that. Other than that, it was a great night at the LC. Dinner in the arena club was good, got into the store before the doors opened and had enjoyed having my good friend join me last night as the wife was unable to attend. I have the tickets and he picked up the dinner tab. Oh yeah, and the fugging Rags lost. Liked Stormy doing the "Dodgers in Five" sign with "NY SUX" on the other side. Also liked the big screen after the game with the "Traffic alert- expect delays from all the Ranger fans exiting toward Cary," or something like that.
