Canes vs Islanders Game 1 Monday

[MillionDollarCam]

Not sure about sitting Pool Party; it’s game one so it’s going to be physical and he’s one of our more physical players.

Rather see Stastny sit.

Still scared of their goalie, one place they are much better than us. Hope Rod does the rotation of Raanta at home and Freddy on the road to start - if Freddy still looks shaky then just go with Raanta and hope for the best.

 

There is no doubting they have a good goalie.

All talking heads are predicting Canes to lose early in the series…..

Talking heads are just doing what they do best and that's talk. Now, let's go out and prove them wrong.

Pool Party getting a message from Rod. See how he responds.

Hope Raants gets hot and our D keeps scoring! Hope we don’t give up too many odd man rushes…..it’s our killer. Odd man rush and five hole

Raanta starting confirmed by Rod.  I like the lineup--we need the experience on the fourth line and that Pool should be our most physical forward doesn't mean that he is--he hasn't been.  Statsny is one of those guys that can pot big goals in a playoff series and be a separator.

Pooly has created a ton of chances for his lines when he's on. I'd also rather see Stepan or Stastny sit. Islanders run a physical game...he's one of the more physical guys on the team.

Confirmed.

Knock on wood but isn’t Raanta the only goalie not to have the 5 hole issue?

Ya neither am I thought I’d rather sit Stepan. 
 

TT - Aho - Jarvis

Noesen - KK - Necas

Marty - Staal - Fasty

Stasny - Drury - Stepan

Is my guess.The only difference would Stepan in for Pool. 

Question is what line do we put the Staal line again Nelson or Horvat?

[KillerKat]

Hope everyone plays like they should. It would be nice for a change in the playoffs.

Stastny has far better G, P, and SH% than Pulju if you’re looking for goals. If you want hits then Pulju. This sounds like Stastny plays but it’s not really clear-

Maybe Pool Party plays after all, we’ll see.
