Canes vs red wings 7:30

[DavidEng]

Front Office:

“We like our team” - added no scorer by trade deadline

”We add to our team during the off-season” - adds injured Pacioretty who has to have surgery 

Results:

Lose to Detroit … DETROIT! with 3 seconds to go in game.

[Rocky Davis]

not a good look to lose like that in the last minute.

Detroit always plays us tough and isn't a bad team, but my goodness we have been out shooting the entire NHL for years and still score less GPG than half of the teams.   There's something to be said about quality over quantity.

SMH tonight.....

Rod does this seemingly on the reg but I can't say it's like something that only he does.  Shifting with 15-20 seconds left in your own offensive zone is ridiculous to me. I don't care how long anyone's shift has been--the prospect of keeping possession as long as possible and not shifting while you have the puck in your offensive zone to me is much more of a safeguard against what happened last night then giving up possession and getting fresh legs.  We got destroyed by that last night and it was brutal.

Marty Necas screen on Andersen that resulted in the game winning goal was probably the best net front the Canes had all night.

This is the first time we dropped sub .700 nearly all season and definitely this year. This team needs to figure their poo out.

Canes have been caught on the shift way too many times this season, Roddy doesn’t seem to learn from mistakes. Hate to say that but appears to be true.

I saw these stats in an article that may be of interest:

”Carolina had 85 shot attempts to Detroit's 34, but the Red Wings blocked 26 shots and the Hurricanes missed the net 26 times.”

Hurricanes are rounding into postseason form early.
