    He is definitely injured. Groin and arm. He could raise his arm on snap shots he was saving two nights ago. He also had no side to side. It literally was just a dummy out there. So either pytor was injured or had a “Russian thanksgiving”. Come to think of it I don’t even think they showed him on the bench once. 

    They did. You could see him on the left side of the bench. When he went in against the oilers the same spot was an empty wooden chair with a red cushion. I’d go back and take pictures but I don’t know that I want to relive any part of last night.

  2. I’m very concerned about the goalie situation. Honestly, I don’t see how Freddie can come back. Maybe it’s different in the pros, but with clots he’s most likely going on blood thinners, and usually contact sports are out once that happens. Hoping I’m wrong, but my gut says this is going to be a bigger deal than we think. 
     

    Rannta isn’t a no.1 and how much playing time does Kooch need to be ready. Has he hit his ceiling?  
     

    The rest of the team has to give 110% and limit SOGs or we’re going to have an average record. 
     

    The good news is if anyone can fix it, Rod can. Heck, he took a bunch of rookies and JAGs and Justin Williams to the ECF and we got a long way to go in this season. Hopefully we can get it together, get Pesce back in the lineup, and figure out a goalie solution.

    Yes LTIR for Andersen would be 3.4M prorated, Saros is 5M prorated, still in the hole, not to mention what we would have to give up. 

    Catching up late and just started the game, but we do also have the Pesce contract situation. When healthy if he was part of the deal and a LTIRed Freddie, could that open up enough space for someone like Saros?

    So, at $19.99 per month to watch all Hurricane games, home and away.... maybe, it it's working.

    Or, go with a VPN and watch all the games on ESPN+ and choose the home or away broadcast, probably for much less than what Bally charges.

    I'm just not tech savvy enough to know VPN and having to change server locations to get the games and have to switch back to a local closer server to get my local channels? I'd really need a major tutorial to make all that happen.

    What's made this harder is location services.  A lot of streaming apps now require you to have location services turned on and shared before the app will load.  Fubo requires you to set a home network, but allows a mobile device to be moved to other locations.  That means on your phone, you'll get the regional content where the phone is, but a smart TV taken out of it's home network will not work. 

    I share all this to say streaming services are starting to use more criteria to locate you, which makes it more difficult to spoof where you are.  It can be done, but now for a lot of apps you're looking at a VPN service and a way to spoof your location.

    Tonight would be a great night for a hat trick.  

    I’ll just be happy with more goals than Seattle tonight. I think home ice is the medicine this team needs. Great night to start a winning streak!

    Who do you think will be getting the Hatty tonight 69?  I’m rolling with Burnsy.

    The actual fug? They are only one hour apart too. One @ TBL, One at Florida. 

    It’s split squad, so we fly to Tampa, offload one team, then fly to Miami and play with the other. Those guys aren’t even offered showers, put back on the plane, fly back to Tampa, and then back home.

    I had better seat selection last year before they went to assigned seating. I suppose I could manage each game, sell my seats and buy better on the resale market.

    I think I'll probably opt out of the season tickets next year and just buy seats on the open market for the games I want. That is, unless I was able to get in with a group of fans wanting to split an entire season.

     

    I've been thinking about getting partial season tickets the last few years, but I live almost 4 hours away from Raleigh.  I go to a couple games a year, and watch the rest from my living room suite with Mike and Tripp. 

    Every year with success is probably going to be different, but you can find good seats on the open market at fair prices.  I got 3 seats club level in the corner for game 2 against the Devils and it wasn't much over face value.

    Apparently Waddell said today that the Aho extension is close and that they are working on Skjei, he was asked about Pesce and kind of deflected.

    After adding Tarasenko I think we may see Pesce moved (probably for prospects and picks) and then we’ll see the TDA trade go through.

    Bunting - Aho - Tarasenko

    Svechnikov - Kotkaniemi - Necas

    Teravainen - Staal - Fast

    Noesen - Martinook - Jarvis

    Drury

    Slavin - Burns

    Orlov - Chatfield

    Skjei - DeAngelo

    Coghlan

    Andersen

    Raanta

    Kochetkov

    Not gonna lie. That lineup is giving me a little bit of a sports boner. Orlov and Chatty…. Look Out!  Everyone stays healthy the Canes are gonna be fun to watch.

    For the cap space people, the Canes have around $14M in cap space with the following roster and around $11.5M with TDA factored in.

    Svechnikov - Aho - Jarvis

    Teravainen - Kotkaniemi - Necas

    Martinook - Staal - Fast

    Drury - Ponomarev - Noesen

    Rees

    Slavin - Burns

    Skjei - Pesce

    Chatfield - Coghlan

    Andersen

    Raanta

    Kochetkov

     

    So we need to find a LH 7th defenseman, figure out what’s going on with Pesce, extend Aho, and sign some forwards.


    is Orlov a lefty?

    Yeah I would definitely would have rooted for them. Not sure I can even watch it.

    Yes I’m still not over it.

    You’re not the only one. The season ended for me when it ended for the Canes.  Hope it’s a good series for the peeps watching it though!

    As Someone like myself that has had conversations about adoption this hits home. What a fantastic guy. Also speaking of Jacob would you argue that he’s our best player? Maybe our most important player?

     Yes to both. 
     

    Don’t know if this is normally done in hockey with him being a defensemen, but I think he should wear the C on his sweater when Stall hangs it up.

  12. Such a cool story and he is a special human being. It’s why I got so pissed he got headhunted the other night. 
     

    My 4 kids are all adopted. It’s the hardest and favorite part of my life. It’s also the reason I only get to 1 or 2 games a year, haha.
