RAAAAAANTA!

You aren’t the only one!

I know it’s not our game, but Id love to see someone go off on the next Islander that sits on one of player’s while they’re down. Matinook took cheap shots to the head in game 1, and Jordo was used as a picnic blanket in game 2. That crap’s gotta stop. But I guess I could settle for just another win, haha. Go Canes!

Sounds like the arena could see some changes as early as next year, with bigger changes being completed in 3-4 years. https://www.cbs17.com/news/local-news/wake-county-news/in-wake-of-stanley-cup-playoffs-pnc-arena-renovations-drawing-near/?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=socialflow What updates/upgrades would you like to see at PNC. I like the idea of removing stairwells to make things more open.

How awesome would that be?

So click on a topic that is, haha. I still hate the affiliation change, but an outdoor game in Charlotte is pretty cool considering its never been done before.

Like I said in another post, I haven’t been to a Checkers game since the affiliation change, but this one may be a fun one. The Queen City Winter Classic in January of ‘24 at Truist Field. https://clture.org/charlotte-checkers-knights-outdoor-winter-classic/ https://www.milb.com/charlotte-knights/events/winterclassic

Live in the Charlotte area and I haven’t been to a Checkers game since the affiliation change. Would love to have the Canes back here.

Its just that kind of night. So frustrating…

Did y’all catch the bench shot of him and Aho? Want to say it was in the 2nd or 3rd, but Pool Party straight up checked each nostril with his tongue. It was both gross and impressive all at the same time.

Glad to hear Raanta's ready to go.

Haha. I’m really developing a love-hate relationship with Freddie. He played a great 3rd period, but every time it’s one-one with him I just have to close my eyes…

Stand Up Mr. Anderson!

Yes sir. Our defensemen are an impressive bunch. All 6 of them make plays like that.

A+ to BallySports….

This team is tough as nails. No quit! GO CANES!!!

We really need to take one of these games. Taking both would be a statement. We lose them both I will be wringing my hands.

Im the first to admit I’m a hockey novice, but outside of goalie play, it has seemed we’ve needed our defense to score to be competitive. We’ve had more than one game this year, im pretty sure, where the defensemen have scored all the goals. The guys that get paid to score goals need to start earning their pay. It’s crunch time and here we are cold as ice again (no pun intended). I have no idea how to fix it, but with the firepower we have, we shouldn’t beat bad teams 1-0 or go 8 periods without scoring. Just my 2 cents.

/endgame And I thought Raanta was the liability.

Think Anderson plays back-to-back?

Details details…. HAHA!

What would you guys think about a trade for Boston’s Craig Smith? Would he really be an upgrade to our bottom 6? Seems like a pure speculation piece, but thought it was interesting. https://www.nbcsports.com/boston/bruins/nhl-rumors-could-bruins-trade-craig-smith-top-competitor-east?cid=sm_npd_rsn_bos_fb_mn&fbclid=IwAR2QePp-jzesgq4B6piQaBV6QrifjwDjtwF-sY2oO_YcysrvtA5pox7PVpY

2nd this!

Welp, just got back in. I had a feeling this one was going to be lop-sided, but I didn’t expect us to be on the losing end. Don’t know what it is about season transitions, but we seem to have a hard time handling it. We just seemed to go through the motions tonight. Hopefully we strike a deal before the trade deadline for someone that works out because come playoff time I don’t have high hopes that they don’t go like last year. Hats off (probably bad choice of words) to the fans tonight. It was like a Panthers/Steelers game only the home fans gave a damn. Ranger fans got under my skin walking in, packing in around the glass pregame like they were all trying to get through the same subway door was annoying, but the hats on ice and the walk out of the arena just pissed me off. Let’s go curb stomp Montreal.
