Happy for the win, but c'mon. Like last night, bad bump-up shifts.

And they are perfect during the month of February! The fact they're 11th in the league now, but best in the league since Dec 6 tells you everything you need to know.

Staal is the C who will put this team on his back. Whoever wears it next will have some very large skates to fill.

Here we go again with the refs. The end of the Utah game, yesterday and now Martinook getting called for trying to avoid a bad hit.

It's even more important as the PK is now just average (11th in the league). Hopefully, the kill improves now the blue line is getting healthy. But the PP, aside from the occasional flashes of brilliance, has been trash all season. It's very predictable. Every PP looks the same. And we all know what the definition of crazy is....

Zero expectations. B2b, matinee, quality opponent (who also played last night), and giving up a ridiculous number of SOG. None of this bodes well for the Canes. Prove me wrong.

2 games in a row. Meanwhile, imagine that! Another Tom Wilson cheap shot to the head.

Gotta gap up. Giving them way too much space.

They were outshot by Utah thru 50 minutes with Bussi in net. A league-leading 24.4 SOG allowed, and it's been surpassed in 40 minutes.

Bullsh!t. Freddie hasn't been good this year, but the rest of the team has given up 26 SOG in 35 minutes.

Gotta treat 4 on 4 like a PP.

That's a bullsh*t penalty.

Little concerning Washington has 19 SOG in the 1st.

I never said he wasn't wrong. I'm simply pointing out that Miller is the only guy being consistently lambasted. And, what Moneypuck doesn't mention about the 76 giveaways is the fact that Miller has been paired on all 3 lines and with every blue liner on the team thanks to injuries. The blue line has been a mess all year and it almost feels like it's coming back together.

Not really. There is a big difference between being named an All-Pro and being selected to a Pro Bowl. Obviously, being named as an All-Pro carries much more cred than a Pro Bowl selection.

Did I miss something Thursday night? I don't post when I'm at the game, but, reading the game thread back, did you actually go an entire game without letting us know how you feel about the Miller signing? But, let's be real, Gostisbehere was directly responsible for assisting on 2 of Utah's goals, and Chatty assisted on a 3rd. The Mammoth's 4th goal came on a no-call slash that took Walker's stick out of his hands and Stankoven was tripped on the same play.

I've grown to enjoy Mike & Tripp, even more so after listening to the ESPN, TNT, TBS hacks who, for whatever reason, seemingly don't know dick about the Canes.

Yeah, sorry. $10-12M AAV.

As of 4 hours ago, rumors are Panarin wants a 4-5 year extension @ $50M AAV. Caps, Kings, Sharks, Red Wings and Canes are still in, according to Elliott Friedman.

NHL teams that have achieved the feat of scoring three or more goals in the final two minutes of a regulation game to win include the Carolina Hurricanes (Jan 29, 2026 vs. Utah), Dallas Stars (Oct 14, 1995 vs. Bruins), and Montreal Maroons (March 15, 1932 vs. Rangers). More recently, the Vancouver Canucks (April 2025) achieved this feat within the final minute. Key Historical & Recent Examples Carolina Hurricanes (Jan 29, 2026): Rallied from 2 goals down in the final two minutes to beat the Utah Mammoth 5-4. Vancouver Canucks (April 8, 2025): Scored three times in the final minute of regulation to defeat the Dallas Stars 6-5. Edmonton Oilers (Dec 2025): Forced OT with three goals in the third period (including two late) against the Sabres. Dallas Stars (Oct 14, 1995): Scored three goals in the final two minutes to beat the Bruins. Montreal Maroons (March 15, 1932): Scored three goals in the final two minutes to beat the Rangers.

During the Olympics, there are restrictions on teams making player transactions. The Olympic Roster freeze goes from February 4 at 3pm ET to February 22 at 11:59 ET. During the freeze: No Trades are permitted Players can be sent down if they are waiver exempt, except for players that played in 16 of the team's 20 NHL games prior to the freeze, or have been on the NHL roster for 80 league days prior to Jan 21 Players can be placed on waivers during the freeze, but if the player was waived after their NHL team's final game before the freeze, they do not have to report to their new team until February 17. There are no restrictions on sending players down prior to the freeze. https://puckpedia.com/news/olympic-roster-freeze

Canes are only the 5th team in history to come from 2 goals down in the last 2 minutes of the game.

I'd be okay with bringing back a 32 year old if NY retains about 25% of his salary. Otherwise, I'm looking more long-term and would appreciate a younger guy who will be around for a minute. Tro is under contract at $5.625M AAV through the 29-30 season. Canes get him at $4M and not have to give up the farm, I'm okay with it. You gotta know he's probably not here but for 2, maybe 3 years tops. Never been a fan of getting a 2-3 year guy and giving up a 5-6 year guy.

Reports are Panarin is actively engaging with Washington, and has contacted the 3 California teams (Ducks, Kings & Sharks). Carolina's interest in Panarin remains internal front office discussion and the 2 teams have not specifically addressed him. Leades me to believe Trocheck might be the real target.
