10/23 Game Thread, Canes @ Blue Jackets

[Harbingers]

Oh man, I feel bad for Korpisalo. There is no reason they should have had him starting this game. Unless their coaches had already written it off.

Honestly they aren’t bad. Their defense is not as staunch as it was last year and I have no idea why they start merzlikins. Their O looks legit though vs. most of the league, their lines rushes have been pro. But like you said, they are probably a notch below us. 

Yeah, this is a Columbus team that gave Carolina fits last year, although they look nothing close to who they were last year.

Im not sure any team in this league can outscore us... you gotta just try and slow our offense down and score as many as you can.

Impressive win. Anderson stands on his head with 28 saves- most every one a legit shot.

[Harbingers]

Ok panthers. Play like that. Thanks.

A little late for that the Canes won't be dropping to 3-3

Never expected Andersen to come in and play so well. I know it is early, but he is on pace for a career year.

Ned on the other hand isn't looking too hot in Detroit although they don't have the best team in front of him.

With the way the Canes are currently playing, this is easily a Cup contending squad.

Maybe they actually knew what they were doing when they let Dougie and Ned go?

Maybe Ned actually was a product of playing behind our good defense. 

Gonna be honest about TDA too. Overall he is not as good as Dougie, but I like what he brings to the team just a little bit more. I've been saying for years that the Hurricanes needed some attitude and toughness. HOPEFULLY he can keep his poo together.

I think we're seeing a powerplay that's operating on much better puck movement and unpredictability.

When Dougie was running the pp it was either going to be a blast from the blue line or he was gonna be the primary assist guy.

Dougie's point streak was impressive, but that's not actually better for the team.  Ideally if we can have better offensive numbers or pp numbers and points are spread around then that means we're more unpredictable and harder to defend.

Young Tro ballin outrageous!

Glad we have the Canes the Panthers are painful to watch.
