Canes looked solid tonight. An early score by Nino set the tone and they played hard. Big hit from Skjei, some fighting from Dougie and some late game goals to seal the deal. Undefeated! 

 

Dougie looking like an older brother who decided his younger brother needed to be set straight.

Fixed that for you!  Skjei was laying the wood tonight, really impressed me.

Also, once PP1 gets going watch out, they really controlled the puck well when we were on the Power Play...once they pot one I feel like that group is going to be scary!

Mrazek, who is notorious for his bad starts, looked surprisingly calm and played well. Got himself in a bad spot more than once, but the D in front of him played really well. 

Ya, he had help from the post at least twice cause he got too far out of net. His reaction time was good though last night.

Just remember, the Red Wings are in the running for worst team in the league. The Hurricanes, and us as fans, should start expecting to dismantle these types of teams. I know its the first game of the season, and there is still some rust to shake off, and the Canes were solid, but there are things that need to be tightened up. After the game, Coach indicated as much:

Happy but never satisfied.

You will never be satisfied. 

 

 

Also, Isn't it always a crap shoot with the first game of the season. As it goes on there are more knowns about each team?

Kind of but not entirely. I think coaching matters much less in the NHL than other sports and for the most part if a player is good, he’ll be good in any system and with any team he’s on (there are exceptions of course). Everyone around the league pretty much knows what the Red Wings are, and that’s a team that is still in the beginning of a massive rebuild (after 25 straight playoff seasons and like 3 championships...). They were by far the worst team last year and didn’t add much in the way of players who will contribute this season.

 

Overall I’m still really happy with our performance. No we didn’t blow them out of the water like we maybe should’ve, but we controlled the game and if not for Greiss standing on his head at times would’ve won by more. A little sloppy but there’s plenty of time to clean that up a bit, and most other teams are in the same boat with that.

Agreed. I am more than satisfied with what I saw, just trying to remind myself that its game 1 and it was against the Red Wings.

      Why I Believe That We Will Trade Down

      By Martin · Posted

      I complete disagree. Who is available is extremely relevant. If you have a couple of players you would be happy with and you can still get them if you trade back, you should do that in a heartbeat. Being afraid that people will lowball you next year is an odd stance. Then you just say no next year, problem solved. In this particular draft you can get a very good player at 46. But to each their own.

      I don't think so.  Watson really screwed them up.  I see something happening, but do not know what.  Cousins could be had in a trade--but they liked Flacco when he played there.  If it were me, I would not spend the #2 pick on Sanders.  I would go after a tier 2 qb because I think Will Howard is going to start in the NFL soon, and I think Ewers was rated very high at the beginning of the year--he knows adversity and he beat out a Manning while taking Texas to 2 playoff appearances.  I am not good at picking QBs, but I think Howard's run pass option and his accuracy is going to help someone.  Stay in Ohio and play for the Browns behind Flacco--

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      By MHS831 · Posted

      After Cam at #1, there are three or four elite players and there could be a trade--If I am the Giants and I am needed a winning season badly and I have several needs, I might trade out and pick up mid first and an extra second rounder, including a QB--while nobody is going to move up to #3 for Sanders, they might for Carter or Hunter.  If the Giants then move back, Sanders could still be in play.  That could be the trade in the top 3.  New England wants Campbell and I get that; Jacksonville at #5 could move back if someone wants Graham or Jeanty.  But barring some trade, the top 4 are probably locked in. So it could be 2 hours into the draft before we get any surprises. Nice list, by the way--you nailed it.
