I hope so. We still need him to start,  what, 8 more games? Maybe Rod gives Reimer a go to keep him in shape, a la Gardiner. But, I can't see it. 

And with 4 regulation goals in 2 of his 3 starts vs DET this season, I wouldn't even think about putting Mraz back out there against the Ford Family Feudal Colony.

I think it’s somewhere between 4-6 right now though I lost track so I’m not quite sure. Which means he’ll have to start about 1/3 of our remaining games.

"Jordan Staal will play in his 1,000th career NHL game when the Carolina Hurricanes host Marc Staal and the Detroit Red Wings.


The Match-Up

Detroit Red Wings (14-23-6, 34 points) vs. Carolina Hurricanes (27-9-4, 58 points)

Monday, April 12, 7 p.m.

Watch: Bally Sports South, FOX Sports GO

Listen: 99.9 FM The Fan, Hurricanes.com/Listen, Hurricanes app


1,000 for Staal

It's a momentous night for Jordan Staal, who will play in his 1,000th career NHL game. Staal is just the fifth player to hit the millenium mark with the team and the first since Ray Whitney did it on Oct. 21, 2009. Staal will join Phil Kessel to become the second player from the 2006 NHL Draft class to reach 1,000 games played.

"That list of 1,000 games with the players on it, you're in good company. I'm very proud of that," Staal said. "It is just games played, but it obviously shows you're able to stick in the league. It's not easy to be at that level for a long time, so I'm very proud of that. It's a cool achievement."

Even though Staal played 431 of his 1,000 games with the Pittsburgh Penguins, he has evolved into exactly what it means to be a Carolina Hurricane.

"The way we want to portray ourselves is based on the captain. He's everything we want to be," head coach Rod Brind'Amour said. "We want to do it right, we want to be hard-working, we want to be respectful, we want to show up every day and do our job. That's how he is. Why wouldn't you want to be like that?"

The Canes will honor his achievement with a pregame ceremony, which will be broadcast live. Fans attending the game are asked to be in their seats by 6:30 p.m. so they don't miss any of the festivities."

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.

1. Ditto but I’d rather not split Brady and Brett after that horrible defensive showing Saturday. 
 

2. Head scratchers for sure. We aren’t trying to move Reimer if we are playing him tonight so it looks like 3 goalies is just gonna be the thing. Hate to say it but after they get Ned RFA I don’t know if he goes back out on the ice for now.

Fleury was traded.

    • When I was in my early 20s, this kid wound have been put on a pedestal.  Not only did he get the information from an Atlanta coach, he framed the Saints.  He is on a different level.  Don't get me wrong--it was stupid-- and if I was his dad I would be pissed--but the nerve--the balls---the unbridled disregard for the consequences of the establishment--few people have ever reached this level.  But there are others who were more brilliant, but for these examples, we have to go to the Ivey League and MIT.  Let's start with MIT: During the 1982 season, seven members of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) managed to bury a weather balloon under the field in Harvard's stadium over a three-week period. The meticulous planning and technologically advanced prank led to those MIT students (safely) disrupting the Harvard/Yale game during the second quarter. The balloon, with "MIT" written all over it, inflated to eight feet before popping. The student newspaper at MIT covered the event with a simple, fitting headline. "Saturday's score: MIT 1, Harvard/Yale 0." -------------------- Yes, another Harvard/Yale game. This time, though, MIT wasn't involved. No, this clever trick in 2004 was the brainchild of two Yale students with the assistance of about 20 others. Disguised as "Harvard Pep Squad" members, the Yale students distribute red and white placards to the Crimson crowd. They assured the fans that "Go Harvard" would be spelled out on the cards. In reality? "WE SUCK" appeared on the Harvard side. --------------------------  
    • Also remember that essentially Derrick Brown is an offseason addition to the defense too, that’s not insignificant when we’re talking about improving the defense from last year.
    • Cheap and high quality.
