Have to be proud of our defensive plays like this

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.

And I thought Raanta was the liability.

Think Anderson plays back-to-back?

Smith was shipped to Washington as part of the Orlov trade.

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.

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. 

Getting ready to head up the highway.  See you guys tonight!

GO CANES!

Thanks Guys!

Today is going to be a long day.  Tomorrow my son and I are coming up for the game for South Carolina and I plan to leave with enough time to get some storm brew.  Anyone have any suggestions where I might find it that would be on the way (or not too far of a detour) to PNC?

That my friends was Hurricanes hockey. Grit, determination, and throwing haymakers in the 3rd.  This was an incredible game and that crowd was LOUD. Two Caniacs from SC will be there to yell with you guys for the Rangers game.

Reddit poster said that an EMS just left the back of PNC, I imagine Patches was in it.

Damn…

Well dang. That put a damper on a good team win.  Hope Patches is ok, but that didn’t look good at all. 

I’d like to see our offensive stars get on the board a few times tonight, but our defensive guys are killing it. We thinking Koochie gets the net this evening?

I hate I missed out on the game thread last night. I got a bucket of kids and sometimes I got to wait until everyone’s in bed before I can start the game. 

This game had a playoff game feel to it. All 4 lines were fast and physical.  I don’t see who can stop us if we play like we did last night. 
 

BB absolutely man handled Crosby to start the 3rd and kill off the rest of that 3 on 5. 
 

Here’s hoping Freddie stays healthy. He was just solid. Maybe too aggressive on one play, but he closed it out right.
 

ICE UP SON!!  We gotta do it again in a few hours. 

Congrats to coach on getting win 200!  Time to go on another run boys!

Thank you! @panthers81

So I have a question for you hockey experts that I've wanted to know for a little while.  During the playoffs last year we talked a lot about being at home and having the first change advantage.  What exactly is the advantage of first change?  Is it simply home team line changes first, and how does being the home team give you this advantage?

If it helps I do know what icing is, and sometime offsides, but from what I've seen the league still isn't overly sure what offsides is so....
