That’s why we need the 1 seed. I feel like Florida stands the best chance against Tampa in the first round. Though they have looked not all that sharp in reality. 
 

I think with us getting a point and Florida on the verge of a loss we still sit with a two game lead on control of our destiny.

Yeah with the Florida loss we are still in full control, two points and two games in hand on them.... Three points up on Tampa...

Take care of business. Play to win. Win 7 of 8 games. Give Reimer some rest.

I'm completely off the Reimer bandwagon. Giving him the benefit of the doubt, he still allowed a couple weak goals.

I'd be remiss not to mention 4 goals by blue-liners in the last 2 games.

And the line combos by RBA almost look desperate at this point.

Reimer is giving up 3-4 goals every time he's on the ice.... 

 

The lack of depth due to injuries at this point is certainly affecting how they approach the game, the Canes play a high energy high speed brand of Hockey and when your better players are having to put in the extra minutes on a grind of a road trip this should be expected.

 

I think we win last night easily if Ned/Petr are in goal.

[54th man]

If we can win y ol night on the road back to back nights on the ice it's a big plus. Anytime u play 2 on the road and can come away with 3 points u win

[Harbingers]

I don’t think anyone quoted it on twitter but Rod basically came out and said if we were still fighting for a playoff spot most of our injured would be playing right now in today’s pregame presser.

Reimer

Injuries: Fast (lower body), Martinook (lower body), McGinn (upper body), Mrazek (lower body), Skjei (concussion), Teravainen (concussion symptoms; injured reserve)

Taxi squad: Shore"

I doubt we’ll see any injured return but I think we might see some taxi squad/line movement. At most maybe Fast back. But I’m gonna bet that’ll probably be at our first home game after this stretch and someone else probably getting a “rest”.

RB said in the same interview that if we were clawing into the playoff race instead of being in first that most of our injured guys would already be back. 

I think we take it tonight with Ned.

This 830pm start time is killing me. I’m old, I need a 430pm puck drop.
