Forward Eric Robinson suffered an upper-body injury on Jan. 19. Rod Brind'Amour told the media after practice on Jan. 21 that Robinson will be "out for an extended period," and further revealed on Jan. 23 that the forward will likely be out until the Olympic break. Defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere (lower-body injury) last participated in game action on Jan. 13 and is considered day-to-day. On Jan. 21, Rod Brind'Amour said he's hopeful Gostisbehere will resume skating soon. Can someone take a 2x4 upside RBA's head and tell him Freddie should only start 6 more games- the front or back end of the remaining 6 b2b left on the schedule. And find out which of the coaches writes up the shootout lineup?

It's all about RBA outcoaching Paul Maurice, and I don't see that happening.

Exactly. If you ever thought we'd see a replay of the downfall of Aanti Raanta, we're witnessing it now. Tulsky should have been looking for a goalie for 2 months now, and send Freddie down to Chicago. The Canes have 6 more b2b situations coming.

I mean, as soon as Svech scores on the guy, trot out your best shooters while the goalie is still in his head and go for the kill. Last night made absolute zero sense.

Or Bussi off the bench.

No Aho? No Ehlers? F*** whichever of the 3 coaches pulled that order out of their ass.

Yep. 5 minute OTs until someone scores.

3 of the 5 guys were screwed. Nobody rotated down and 2 guys ran into each other.

Gotta win in regulation. I have little faith with Freddie in net against this speed.

All 5 Canes on one side of the D zone... WTF.

That kid had no business dropping the gloves. Nikishin made quick work of that.

Logged into my Disney+ and the game popped right up on ESPN+. WTF Hulu? I'll catch the 3rd!

Not to mention the only center who can win face-offs is Jordo. Don't know what happened to Aho, but he sucks in the circle this year.

2 shorties tonite?

Must not have been a Miller mistake, otherwise we would have heard about it.

Thanks for that- appreciate it. That said... 1 goal on 4 SOG.... ugh. St. Louis may move Binnington, hint, hint. He's been awful too, but look what's in front of him.

ESPN+ keeps showing a loading error message, but I'm sure it's blacked out. Oh well, I'm watching Hijack on AppleTV.

Game is not showing on ESPN+ as scheduled. Local blackout or technical issue

FYI, Canes play Saturday in Ottowa and then have a 5 day break after coming home. They don't play again until the 29th.

Oh, no TV for tonight's game unless you have the NHL Network, I believe. I could be wrong, hopefully?

Hoping someone tells us Bussi was in the starter's crease for the morning skate. Otherwise, place your 1st shot- 1st goal bets! Any closer to a deal that could land a 2C in Trocheck or Brayden Schenn? Or land a winger in Alex Tuch or reach for Jordan Kyrou?

It's the groin injury from the Las Vegas game back in October which continues to get re-aggravated every time he takes an awkward hit. Latest is he will likely miss Thursday, but may start skating in the next day or 2.

TNT announcers are terrible. They know dick about Carolina or have never seen the Canes play. And they're drooling over Tage Thompson.

Update on Robinson?
