Where has this puck movement been the last 3 months?

He never said he didn't want to be here. Believe what you want, but it's an assumption not really based in fact. But, whatever works for you. On one hand you're criticizing the FO for not getting long term deals agreed upon before the trade is made, and, at the same time criticizing the player for supposedly not wanting to be here.

Another blender-blue line. And Jarvy coming back on the checking line. Really?

Rantaanen didn't do anything wrong. He didn't ask for a trade in the first place, and he didn't ask to be traded from Carolina. He's not dragged the organization and has not been anything less than a professional hockey player. https://apnews.com/article/mikko-rantanen-stars-hurricanes-6c9e2098163c6bb303b40fa8455424bd But, I expect he will not receive a warm welcome because most fans don't know the whole story nor do they understand the business.

Will/can the Canes keep him? He's an RFA, and barring a QO from another team, he'll likely stay. But it does beg the question, how hard will Carolina fight to keep him if someone else is interested? And, as with a few other past experiences, does he want to stay?

What little I saw of last night's game and all of tonight's, the bad officiating has shown up again. Certainly a few embellishments and a couple of BS penalties that just didn't happen.

And Miller has had back-to-back excellent games. I was waiting for you to make sure we knew that... lol

Need an insurance goal before NJ goes 6 on 5.

Is Hughes on hat trick watch for the Canes? Could he be first star if they win?

Who is Philip in for tonight? Nevermind.

Noesen was the best net front guy the Canes had in several years. And he was not afraid to fet physical. I always thought they should have kept him & Skjei.

I saw the phone call to Slavin when he was named to the Olympic team. Slavo said he was going to be ready by then.

I'm still here. But really, I'm humbled you feel the need to give so much of your time. Nevertheless, let me know the next time you're going to a game. I'll buy you a beer.

Got home from a party early to tune in. Glad to see I'm still in your head...lol.

If a miracle occurs and the Canes somehow pull this game outta their ass, I'll watch the highlights tomorrow. Otherwise, I won't be tuning in. Avs 7-2.

Exactly.

That misconception has been debunked many times by several sources. Tampa came in with an offer that Carolina didn't try to match or exceed. At that point Guentzel had 1 choice if he wanted to play hockey- Tampa.

Neither Necas nor Mikko wanted to be here. As straight forward as the FA and salary cap system is, there's not a lot of ways to escape from a deal you failed to vet ahead of time. Guentzel and Mikko should have both been vetted for long term deals before they were brought in. That being said, there are bigger problems facing this team today, and continuing to dwell on yesterday's mistakes don't help anyone or anything.

To be fair, the only D-man who wasn't a step or 2 behind tonight was 21. Montreal is fast and showed their speed. Not a single goal by the Habs was contested.

This team is simply down too many key players to have any semblance of cohesive play. Looks like RBA is just pulling names outta the hat for his lines. The blue line is a train wreck.

But yeah. Should pulled Bussi in the 1st and put Freddie in. Lol...

How long did you expect Bussi's rookie run to last? You didn't think the other shoe was going to drop at some point? No worries. fug off.

Freddie: 5-9-2 Bussi: 13-1-1

Yeah, I think he would have made the team ahead of Suzuki had he not been injured. There were Team Canada scouts at 2 of the games before he got hurt.
