Showtime, Charlotte FC takes the field against New York Red Bulls in the round of 16 of the U.S. Open Cup at some dumpy park in Jersey.

The Crown are going for the win it appears. Starting XI (subs in parentheses) GK - Kahlina (Marks) LB - Mora LCB - Makoun RCB - Corujo (Walkes) RB - Afful (Lindsey) CDM - Bronico (Jones) LM - Bender RM - Alcivar (Franco) LW - Jozwiak (Vargas) ST - Rios RW - Shinyashiki (Gaines)

Very true, they wanted to send him back but Jarvis made it impossible.

Probably and unpopular opinion, but we should have signed Kane.

You’re guess is good as mine, he definitely seemed to be on a short leash.

I’d imagine he is but if for some reason he isn’t, I don’t know if you can trot Raanta out there again.

We aren’t where we are without Jarvis… Necas has been that bad. Just imagine not having Jarvis and the sizable hole that we’d have in our lineup. I hope someone does something stupid like offer sheeting him. We should have traded him for Chychrun when we had the chance.

I mean the kid did beat New York to clinch the division on the road so I’d give him a go.

He definitely saves the first one and fourth one, second one was a tip so it’s a good goal, and I can’t remember the third goal.

Unfortunately, Shesterkin probably saves two or three of the goals that Raanta has allowed.

No matter what, we need to see one go in tonight just for morale… can’t go six periods in New York with only scoring one goal.

On a positive note, we could lose every away game 10-0 and as long as we hold serve at home we’ll be in the SCF’s.

At this point, no, no it doesn’t matter.

Enough talk from these guys… that’s 0-5 on the road… eventually stop talking about coming out better and just fugging do it. See you guys Thursday.

I’ve seen this story before, the ending is usually a shutout. Maybe I’m bad luck. Gonna step out for something to eat and see if that does the trick.

I know Rod is in love with the Nino - Staal - Fast line but enough… it’s a useless line when you can’t dictate matchups. Nino - Aho - Turbo Svech - Trocheck- Jarvis KK - Domi - Necas Lorentz - Staal - Fast

If we change the lines again we are changing them back to what previously wasn’t working.

Post the follow through and the angle that shows elbow to head. I mean hell, I can give you 1000 examples of why a players vulnerability doesn’t matter… Foegele on Oshie, Landeskog on Dach, etc. it’s not a good hit.

Probably, but not sure what else you can do to get the team going.

Please stay off the road… if you can’t see both skates off the ice then you don’t need to be operating machinery. As I said before, there’s not a second rule book for vulnerable situations. Keep trying.

We aren’t coming back with Raanta in net, put Kochetkov in and try to jumpstart the team.

Tired of officiating having a role in the outcomes, this is getting stupid.

You serious??? There aren’t a different set of rules just because a player is in a vulnerable position… for example, Foegele was penalized a few years ago for boarding Oshie after Oshie slipped. It doesn’t matter that Oshie slipped… it still resulted in him being boarded. Not to mention, Trouba was completely off the ice, that’s automatically a charge.

Apparently Charlotte is wearing this kit this weekend, it’s apart of an environmental awareness initiative by the MLS.

Charlotte FC takes on New York Red Bulls tomorrow in the round of 16 of the U.S. Open Cup. If they win, they will host the next round. Charlotte will be without Armour, Fuchs, Hegardt, Mello, and Reyna. I believe they’ll also be without Swiderski and Makoun who are on international assignment. Jozwiak should be available but he will be heading back to Poland soon for international duty as well.
