Just an absolute stunner, the Union don’t get their poo kicked in like that… but tonight, Charlotte would not be denied. A four piece from Danny Rios has Charlotte still playing for something. We’ll know more about what exactly needs to happen after tomorrow. In a perfect world… Red Bulls will beat Columbus tonight and NYCFC will take out Orlando City tomorrow.

Charlotte is doing everything they can to make this season exciting. Charlotte is up 2-0 on Philadelphia in the 70th.

Must win… somehow have to get it done.

True but Tripp made the comment today that Freddie stated previously that it doesn’t matter how many shots he faces because of how systematic he is. Might just be fluff from Freddie though. Coming off an injury he’s probably rustier than most.

First one Andersen had no shot of saving. Nice saucer pass over Bear and the Panthers player had a wide open net. The other two I thought he could have saved. On the second one, Seeley didn’t box out Lomberg well enough but I’ve seen Freddie save that shot before. I don’t think Dalpe’s goal was anything special either. Freddie has definitely made that save before as well. Andersen may need one more game to shake the rust off.

Win this one and it’ll get mighty interesting down the stretch.

Final. Canes 4 - Kittens 3 Goal 1 - Burns (from Teravainen) Goal 2 - Svechnikov (from Slavin and Necas) Goal 3 - Necas (from Svechnikov and Bear) Goal 4 - Burns (from Kase and Slavin) A few notes through three games: - Svechnikov, Coghlan, and Burns have been my three stars through preseason. - Pacioretty is exactly what this team needs and he can’t get healthy soon enough. There will be games like today where Turbo, Aho, and Jarvis just can’t find the net. Having someone like Paccioretty will take a lot of pressure off the top line. - Svechnikov, Kotkaniemi, and Necas has been our best line in my opinion, I’m expecting a massive year from Svechnikov. - I think Stastny is better suited to play with Staal and Fast as where Kase is more of a 4RW. - The fourth line seems to be fluid but some combination of Martinook, Drury, Kase, Stromwall, Stepan, and Noesen will make for a really nice fourth line. - Burns is going to be a Godsend for the PP and I wouldn’t be totally shocked to see him put up 70+ points with the usage that he’s going to get. Slavin and Burns are going to be one of the best defensive pairings in the league. - As seen today, Skjei and Pesce are vital to this team. Not having our second pairing out there really showed. - de Haan and Coghlan have looked great and I fully expect them to be the third pairing with either one able to play up a pair should an injury occur. - As seen today, Bear doesn’t really do anything well and with Chatfield no longer waiver exempt, I think you have to move Bear… I wouldn’t risk trying to sneak Chatfield through waivers. - Andersen may need another game, he looked a little rusty today. I’d consider giving him one more game since he’s been out for so long. On the other hand, Raanta looked really good during his two periods a couple days ago.

BURNSSSS AGAIN!!!

After 2: Canes 3 - Kittens 3 Goal 1 - Burns (from Teravainen) Goal 2 - Svechnikov (from Slavin and Necas) Goal 3 - Necas (from Svechnikov and Bear)

Nachos!!! Good to see him get on the board.

Man… Andersen looking a little rough.

Seeley did a terrible job of boxing Lomberg out on that second goal.

After one… Canes 2 - Kittens 0 Goal 1 - Burns (from Teravainen) Goal 2 - Svechnikov (from Slavin and Necas)

We are going 82-0, don’t @ me.

Svechnikov is going to put up a lotttt of points this year.

- Andersen gets the start. - First look at Seeley, Lagesson, and Tieksola - Burns making his Canes debut - Kase getting a look at LW on Staal’s line - Stromwall and Drury getting a look together.

Lineup for tomorrows game: If I had to guess… Turbo - Aho - Jarvis Svech - KK - Necas Stromwall - Staal - Fast Tieksola - Drury - Kase Slavin - Burns de Haan - Bear Seeley - Lagesson Kochetkov Andersen The only players yet to play are Suzuki, who I believe is injured, and Mattheos. As for cutdowns: Chicago: Pashin, LaBate, Murray, Farrance Juniors: Orr, Robidas, Montgomery, Vondras, Hamrla The other players are: Paccioretty, who will be back around the all-star break, Gardiner, who will be going on LTIR, and Fitzgerald, who was removed from the training camp roster due to injury, he will be headed to Chicago.

The game at Tampa has officially been canceled. Updated preseason schedule below: Game 1: Canes 5 - Lightning 1 Game 2: Canes 5 - Panthers 2 Game 3: Canes vs. Panthers (Saturday - 1PM) Game 4: Canes vs. Blue Jackets (Monday - 7PM) Game 5: Canes @ Sabres (Tuesday - 7PM) Notes - Saturday’s game is free to the public to my knowledge, if you live the RDU area you can treat yourself to some no cost hockey tomorrow and use that extra money for the $7.50 Storm Brews. For those that don’t live in the area, like myself, the game will be streamed on the Canes website. - Monday’s game is not free and will be streamed on the Canes website. - Tuesday’s game will be on NHL Network. - After Tuesday’s game, the Canes will have a week off before opening up the regular season at home against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Wednesday, October 12th, at 7:00PM.

He had one of the better in game dunks that I’ve seen from a Hornets player throughout the teams history. His dunk over Aldridge was wild for a big guy.

Six more headed out. Forwards: Pashin, LaBate, and Murray (did not play) are headed to Chicago; Robidas is headed to juniors. Defensemen: Farrance (did not play) is headed to Chicago. Goalie: Hamrla (did not play) is headed to juniors. I really liked what I saw from Robidas, I think we’ll see him in the league in a couple of years.

One in central Florida was just from an elderly individual draining his pool into a canal during the storm. He slipped and fell down the bank and drowned.

Actually noticed that last night as well, there was a sequence where Chatfield was exiting the d-zone last night and he was moving. On multiple circumstances I watched Bear and he looked stuck in mud.

We’re up to 21 right now, most in southwest Florida, a couple in central Florida. It’s going to take some time to sort through all the mess down here but I wouldn’t be shocked if we got to the 80-100 range.

I’m willing to give Bear a few more preseason games but as of right now I’m 100% in the camp of trading him before the season starts. Coghlan is obviously much better and I prefer Chatfield over Bear as well. I’m all for shipping him somewhere four a third or fourth round pick and being done with it. Slavin - Burns Skjei - Pesce de Haan - Coghlan Chatfield Depth - Dronov, Lajoie
