Preds are looking to move Marchessault & Stamkos. Canucks are looking to unload a handful: Boesser, Elias Pettersson, Jake DeBrusk, Conor Garland. I, for one, wouldn't turn my nose up at Marchessault, Boehner or Garland. Even DeBrusk.

I've been saying this for a couple weeks now. Even if you're not a stat geek, you can watch the games and see he's not performing close to what we've seen over the years. Yes, Kochetkov is hurt, but he won't be forever and I think it's time to move on and call Kochetkov and Bussi your 1 and 2. With $11M in cap space, the Canes have an opportunity.

3 goals on 14 shots. RBA's stubborn ass is going to have a #1 goalie with a 5-6-2 record.

Just play .500 hockey until they can put their 3 complete lines together, I guess. Don't understand why Bussi isn't in net tonight. 3rd line is broken without Staal. 4th line is just broken.

Remember Sunday afternoon? Don't get mad if tonight looks no different.

Freddie has a 5-5-2 record. The Canes have lost 8, Freddie has 7 of those 8. While we can't lay blame totally on him-there has been horrendous D play, terrible turnovers and bad decisions in the neutral zone- you gotta stop a few along the way. If the Canes are gonna roll 3 goalies, then roll 3 and stop giving Freddie the majority of starts.

I heard there was an Amber Alert out for the Canes. I'm also thinking it's about time for Freddie's annual injury.

Andersen is going to have 6 of Carolina's 7 losses at 5-5-1.

Completely agree. They have, in my opinion, played exceptionally well considering the routine shuttle flights between Raleigh & Chicago with players in the starting lineup the very night they arrive... lol.

Oh, that part of the equation is easy. Since the injuries began stacking up, the Canes are beating bad teams, having dogfights against average teams and losing to good teams.

He was playing for the Oilers last night. Name was Roslovic, if I remember correctly.

Yes, the defensive injury list is long and the.best we can hope for is to hold their own until they get healthy. That said, the PP sucks more than last year, the PK is no longer elite and the FO circle is killing the offense.

Kochetkov is 3-0 with a shutout and a GAA under 2. Bussi is 4-1. Freddie is 5-4-1. Tell me who isn't playing well, again?

Lol... 2-0 in 6 minutes....

Whatever. I don't trust Freddie or Kochetkov in net.... as Freddie sets up Roslovic for an easy one.

As much success this team has, the depth, the ability to go "next man up," and still be able to win stops at the goaltender position. We all know Freddie will get hurt and miss an extended period of time. We also know that goalies are hard to find. The Canes have elite players at every position- RW, LW, C, RD, LD.... except goaltender. I don't have the answers, but...

Team cannot afford to lose some players. Kochetkov is not one of those players. I'm happy with Freddie & Bussi. 52 has proven time & again he needs to play regularly to get into a rhythm. Too many games off and he's not good.

I had shingles when I was 13 or 14 years old. Not nearly as painful when you're young. Matter of fact, because it's only contagious to those who haven't had chicken pox or the vaccine, I was still able to go to Boy Scout summer camp for 2 weeks. Of course, this was in the 60s when vaccines were commonplace and the idea of someone not being vaccinated for something like chicken pox was unheard of. Anyway, the most I remember of it was the blisters, mostly concentrated across the back of my shoulders. Hope you come through it okay and have no long-term effects.

So, the goal that should not have been a goal.... https://www.nhl.com/news/carolina-hurricanes-colorado-avalanche-coach-challenge-x1595 Challenge Initiated By: Carolina Type of Challenge: Missed Game Stoppage Event – High-Sticking the Puck Result: Original call confirmed – Goal Colorado Explanation: The Situation Room supported the Referee’s call on the ice that Parker Kelly’s stick was not above the normal height of his shoulders when he contacted the puck at 15:31 of the second period (4:29 elapsed time) – 17 seconds prior to his goal. The decision was made in accordance with Rule 80.1. Penalty: 2:00 minor penalty: Delay of Game – Unsuccessful Challenge ------------------------------------------------------------ How the challenge was interpreted as a high stick challenge is beyond me. What I cannot find is what/how RBA challenged the goal and how it was reviewed as a high stick goal when Stevie Wonder could see the hand extending off Kelly's stick, essentially grabbing at the puck and it went by Freddie. But the note says, "...17 seconds prior to his goal." So I have no clue that they even looked at the hand goal.

Aho has more turnovers than points...

I thought the Charlotte Hornets and the Tinderbox were pretty much the same thing...lol.

Canes were 2-0 against Dallas last year; 0-2 the year before. It's been pretty much back and forth between the 2 teams back to the bubble year when we played them 8 times. But they have a pretty decided edge over the years.

Maybe Rod will change it up and slot Bussi in net. Why risk the inevitable injury to Freddie this early in the season against a team that will likely win regardless. The Stars are not playing particularly well right now and Freddie stands a better chance of beating them, although Dallas has owned the Canes of late. Just show up and play to win, that's all I ask.

So, this is a thing, but when I read the AP press release and saw Kash Patel's name, the whole case lost some credibility with the Clown Prince of Conspiracy Theories lending his name just because a moron thought it would be fun to make him the Director of the FBI.

The blue line is a mess not collectively, but having to shuffle pieces just to get 3 D lines on the ice while playing three perennial contenders in 3 consecutive games without a break, there's not a lot of room for error. Last night, there was literally not a single defensive pairing that had ever skated together before, either in the preseason or so far this season.
