Canes v Flames 4pm

[Darkseid89]

Kill looked good and we brought some pressure and energy.

All on KK. Asked for the puck twice. Turned it over twice in the same sequence. Then let the odd man rush happen. Just a bad player.

Buttchin might have something to say about that...

It’s almost like converting on the pp can be the difference in a game 

[USDepartmentOfSavagery]

Alright I’ll be the first to co granulated the boy. PP is being productive. We need to keep this momentum going on this long road trip. Hoping to get 8 points.

Just got home. Canes played strong late. Pie for a win!

[DamnItJake!]

Didn’t see the game today!! Glad the Canes got the W!!

Positives were offensive zone time- Carolina worked hard at keeping the puck in the zone. Looked very good on the wrong end of a back-to-back weekend. A lot more shots taken from the face-off circles in.

Not so good- another turn over in the middle of the ice leading to a breakaway goal. Canes, at times, had issues with Calgary's forecheck, and the flames got aggressive with it on their PK. 2 of 3 on the PP? Wow, about time.

Brent Burns didn't take many shots (relatively speaking) and I actually saw him think twice about jumping in and, instead, he backed off to the blue line. Maybe he's finally starting to figure out his role.

Jarvis is coming. He's young and still makes the occasional misread, but he's going to be really good. KK is starting to come around, but it's going to take a lot of making up with his contract, expectations and performance thus far. He lost at least 1 tooth Friday in Boston, and I thought he'd be down yesterday, but he played okay.... just okay. He was physical yesterday- I will give him that.

Paul Stastny. If I hadn't heard his name on the PA getting credit for an assist, I wouldn't have known he was playing yesterday, and I was at the game. Maybe I'm wrong, but I had a lot more expectation of his veteran leadership and ability to bring a physical presence to the front of the net, like the Nino he replaced. But I've seen the very rare flash, but nothing that wows me. Matter of fact, that whole line is under-achieving and it's driving me nuts given the amount of experience.
