Skjei done for the night on the high boarding no call.

Cross checks, sticks across the shins and high hits. TB can now be labeled a dirty, cheap shot team.

Still spending too much time in their own end.

Not a peep.

I'm all about physical play in the league and I appreciate solid checks and hits as part of the game. Killorn put himself in another category, right there with the likes Tkachuk, Milan Lucic, Tom Wilson, Kadri and Marchand; as a dirty player. There was an intent to injure followed by his cheering the crowd as a hockey player laid on the ice. Fug you Killorn, I'm hoping to see you in Raleigh and I'd be more than happy to express my thoughts with you. I won't be hard to spot- 6'6" 285 telling you to your face you're a piece of sh!t.

Now they're in a huge hole.

My bad, goal wasn't a Dougie mistake. It was Martinook and Trocheck not communicating.

Hamilton out of position, imagine that. He wants to be a center.

Are you asking from the team's perspective or from his perspective?

You see how he grabbed that pussy staring him straight in the face? Both hands...

Svech takes 3 shots in the back from Ekholm before putting him on the ice. Ekholm gets up, gives Svech 2 more whacks in the back before 37 turns around and puts him on the ice again. I'm glad Svech came back and stood his ground and I don't think it's a bad penalty to go 4-4. Ekholm got embarrassed and this one probably isn't over yet.

Another one of those "seeing-eye" passes thru the middle that finds a backside Aho, Svech, Nino or Vinny. How many of those have the Canes executed this season?

Was wanting the shutout for Mrazek.

Poor turnover for Aho

Never called it? WTF 2 min minor?

Foegele gers rewarded for his work.

Hakanpaa has more hits in the first period than Dougie has all year.

Maybe he can pray away the Preds. Had you not mentioned this I would continue to assume he's dead.

Not available in plus sizes.....

Where do I start? Look, I should have known it was going to be a bad night when we get to PNC (they're not charging for parking, by the way) and you can park wherever you like. That may sound like a good thing, but since when is tailgating a criminal offense at PNC? The side-by-side cops out in full force telling us we have to eat inside our vehicles, you cannot stand outside, in a parking space, next to your vehicle, with your wife, while eating a sandwich and drinking a beer. WTF. The pre-game Stall tribute was very well done and Jordo was treated right. Those 10 minutes were as good as the Canes looked all night. Maybe they should have all left their #11 Staal sweaters on all night. They were fugging terrible. Missing passes, overskating the puck, turnovers, you name it. As much as I think Jacob Slavin is a very underrated defenseman, although he was an all-star, he got torched last night. Oh, and I had to explain the Geekie penalty for "shooting the stick" to a few people, too. I'll focus on what few positives there were, rather than list the no-shows. The guys who worked hard all game, were grinding it to the end last night, and not always in the camera shot: Fast, Foegele, Martinook, Aho, Pacquette. They skated and worked hard all night long while it looked as though a few others took the night off. Mini-crowds suck. I don't care what it sounds like on TV, you could hear a pin drop the entire game. There is no electricity in the crowd, no fire. I sat thru the first 17 seasons of Carolina Panthers football and I've been in PNC for many Canes games and the crowd last night reminded me of the Carolina Panthers 2001 season when they went 1-15. My wife and I have both received our vaccinations and it had been 427 days since our last Canes game in person. I can say without hesitation that we will not return this season for another game- I'd rather stay home and watch. When it's safe to fill PNC, we'll return.

2 things.... 1. The Gardiner-Fleury line scares me.... not in a good way. 2. Reimer in net means the Canes will likely need a 4-5 goal night to win. Granted, I don't know what his Detroit GAA is, nor do I care. But everything I appreciate about RBA as the bench boss, I'm just as confused by his goalie decisions and his D lines.

Dallas claimed him.

Hopefully, tomorrow night is a revenge game that I'll be able to enjoy. Decided to spring for tickets with the reduced crowds and it being a Monday night and Staal's 1000th game. Think we may see Ned tomorrow?

Very disappointing loss with a golden opportunity to put some distance between themselves and TB, FL. Giving up 4+1 to the Wings? Really? And, for what it's worth, I really thought RBA was going to play Ned last night. Oh well, hindsight.

Don't know that I trust Peter 3 on 3 yet.
