Game 17: Carolina Hurricanes (8-7-1) @ New York Islanders (8-9-1)

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Absolutely no news has been made available to fans about the lineups. I would hope that Nodl is back in the line up and that they give Ellis another shot, but I fully expect Wardo to get the start.

The Canes need this game, they can't afford to lose four straight and they have a great chance to avoid that losing streak against the Islanders tonight.

Kevin Poulin has been recalled from the AHL and make is NHL debut in net for New York tonight.

The Canes are expected to be without Joni Pitkanen, Jeff Skinner, Tim Gleason, Tim Brent, and Tuomo Ruutu.

The Islanders will be without Matt Carkner and Jesse Joensuu.

Go Canes

Sorry, for some reason it made the game thread twice.

Ward is in net. Islanders are already up 3-0 before the game even beings.

lol

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Ward lets in a weak one.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

If we don't figure this out soon, we're going to be sellers at the deadline.

What did i tell you? almost to 3. Ward is a moron. Should've traded him earlier in the season, but the whole league now knows he sucks. Im not sure what we'd get for him now.

Well this is depressing

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

F&cking Horrible

Wonder how bad it has to get before JR finally does something

[KillerKat]

This is like John Fox and Jake Delhomme. Delhomme had to completely implode before something was done. I suspect the samething will happen with Ward.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Does every goalie have to play like they are f*cking Dominic Hasek when we play them.

F*cking sh*t...
