I'm not going to get overly excited about this one, but if we go ahead and take care of business in the next two I'll be pretty happy.

Interesting we may be playing Nashville for quite awhile....last two regular season games and then the start of the playoffs.  I don't love that scenario, but you have to win the games in front of you for The Cup. 

Leeeegoooooo

6-0 thus far agaist Nashville...

 

 

Also with the Vegas loss tonight winning our last four in any fashion gets us home ice throughout and a presidents trophy.

Vegas has it much tougher down the stretch too. Both them and Colorado can reach a maximum of 84, however Vegas plays all playoff teams whereas Colorado has one game in hand and plays exclusively the bottom of the barrel minus one vs. the golden knights.

It’s going to create some bad blood for sure. But we do have two things going for us.
 

1) If the Lightning beat the Stars either game and Nashville wins vs the blue jackets Wednesday. They will have clinched the last playoff spot. Would rather the stars trounce the Lightning at least once though. So we could be playing a Nashville team that has already clinched and I could see both teams trying to get/stay healthy. Playing a less physically aggressive game for the final two of regulation.  
 

2) there is going to be a 5 day-week gap between regulation and a possible playoff start for us unless they start us before the west is done and possibly almost 2 week gap before the playoffs if they don’t start the US first. Which is a blessing or a curse depending but at least it won’t have us stacked straight up against against Nashville back to back to back.

Also hoping since Mrazek was the backup last night we’ll see him back in net tonight. 

Good. Hopefully him tonight, Ned or Reimer Thursday and then let him and Ned split Nashville to get a good look at what’s likely coming.

Thanks for posting game previews all season!

@Harbingers for the inaugural Hurricanes Huddle MVP!

Come on Dougie. That was all on you. 

I wouldn’t put it all on Dougie, Aho had a chance to do something with it. But I cannot debate that Dougie flat out, got out skated. So maybe, maybe as I write this I agree with you more.

      First Goal Game 2024!!!

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      I want to throw in how much easier it is for a QB to develop and improve with a good oline.  Huge credit to the front office for spending the money on our two guards.  Cade Mays also had a 2nd really good game starting at center.  Love how he has developed and hope he's the real deal. Look at what Stroud is dealing with now in Houston after injuries and problems with their oline.  Strouds accuracy has been greatly affected as it seems like he doesn't trust his protection. Canales is doing a great job developing Bryce.  I think the QB whisperer might be for real. And obviously big props to Bryce.  First round pick that looks horrible in his first year.  Different coaches and systems.  Fans and media are calling him the biggest bust in NFL history and he looked like it in the first two games this year.  Gets benched.  Young man keep his cool and just continued to work and only worry about what he can control.  I hope things continue like this and we end up with a great success story. Bryce Young kept pounding.

      This is exactly what we needed to see from Beyce

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Outside of Philly (who currently is #3 in pass defense) the rest of our remaining opponents are bottom 1/3 of the League in that regard.  Let's see what Bryce can do versus bad pass Ds.
