Mrazek looked great tonight. Shoulda been a shutout.

Svechnikov's mom is hot.

The team overall looked great. That's the best we have looked in a while. Need to finish this month strong because the teams we are battling with in the Metro are faltering a little. We need to take advantage and get a little breathing room(although most likely temporary).

Philly is playing lights out right now. Tough back-to-back to play the Rangers at home and fly north to get the Leafs 24 hours later.

Last night might have been the most complete game the Canes have played in a long time. Although it would have been much closer except for the fact Nashville's power play is atrocious...

Good thing we already have the tie breaker over Philly. I'm focused less on them and more on CBJ and NYI faltering. Islanders have the Avs tonight in Denver I believe and another CBJvsPHI game the next night. If we can muster 3 points out of the next 2 games we will be in great shape coming down the home stretch.

Mrazek playing like he did last year, Reimer playing better, and getting Dougie back-just gotta make the playoffs.

Last night was incredibly frustrating.  The Rangers just have our number.  Two goals off our skates.  Poor penalties. Bad sticks.

I'm really frustrated with Dzingle.  I think he has just underwhelmed so vastly.  While I think we have some of the best young talent in the league, we're just not in position to compete this year specifically because we lost Dougie. So I don't think a marginal upgrade via trade will put us over the top.  I really want this team to make the playoffs however, even if we get bounced in the first round.  That has more to do with maintaining a winning culture then anything else.  What we don't want to be is a one hit wonder when it comes to the post season.  

We shall see.  We do have games in hand, but our March schedule is brutal.

We can't keep letting these kind of games get away from us. As you said. March is brutal. On the positive side, we have a lot of opportunities in March to gain ground in the playoff hunt with so many opponents that we are battling with.

Holy poo what a game. Reimer and Mrazek are both out and some guy named Ayers is playing goalie. He gives up 2 goals out of 3 shots. Is there a way to win this game?

This was the greatest hurricane victory I have ever seen, completely unbelievable. Wow, that could change your season. There could be a movie made about this one, no kidding.

Just trade for lehner and give him a 1-2 yr contract. fug it.

[GamecockSmitty4]

That was incredible.

Yeah, it may change our season and not for the better, unfortunately. Rod said in the press conference that Pesce was going to out for "....a long time." That is not good.

Supposedly we have some hotshot goaltenders in CLT right now, so we might get to see them.

As long as it doesn’t involve trading Bean (bring him up to fill in for Pesce) or our first round picks. Second rounder(s) and lesser prospect(s), fine.
