Canes @ Sabres

[Ncstatefan]

Carolina Hurricanes (27-24-5) vs. Buffalo Sabres (29-21-6)

6PM No local TV but it is on center ice

After losing the past two games to a combined score of 10-1 to sell out crowds at home, the Canes are at a low right now. This is a must win for the Canes in my opinion if they lose this one (*and the next game on Tuesday) they might as well put of the for sale sign and get ready for some trades. The canes are currently tied at 9th,5 points out of the playoffs, with Pittsburgh; while the Sabres fluctuate between 6-8th spots in the playoffs.

Leighton should probrably be in net for the canes since it's a back to back situation with Ward playing last night. EDIT: Ward in net againMiller will be in net for the Sabres.

I'm not too optimistic anymore and I kinda of want a fire sale so I'm predicting 3-1 Sabres.

EDIT:

Though I would like a nice Canes win here because the season isn't over and a win here brings us within 3 pts of the 8th spot, held by the Sabres as of this moment, and the Sabres don't have a game in hand.

yeah but we need to play the full 60 minutes I'm not ready to call a win just yet

We've got to win this one and put a streak together. Shame it's not on TV

[panthersphan]

Canes need this if they want to push for that 8th spot

Second period is almost over still 2-0 Canes, thank god for Center ice

I love center ice. Yes we still have one period to go, but this team is playing like at least tonight... 1 and your done sorta mentality.

Playoff game mentality for sure

3-0 shutout for canes. Absoultley Brilliant. Do it again and again. Playing like this is our only hope! Go Canes!

[Ncstatefan]

Canes win 3-0, Cam Ward's 4th shutout on the year

[merchman567]

This is the way they need to play. We play the sabres again at our house this week! Florida Lost... we need to really fight and be physical to pull this one out!

good win, now they just need to keep it up and start playing more consistent from game to game and string some wins together to get into the final playoff spot.

I guess Paul Maurice made a good point yesterday saying they play all buisness on the road and dont worry about putting on a show. I sure hope they show up tomorrow night, for Glen's sake.
