The fact that Burns is 37 is wild… he moves like he’s in his early 20’s.

I’m liking Chatfield, he’s active.

Bruh the contract that Gudbranson got is theft, his agent should be arrested… dude is the most overpaid player in the league.

Lolol me and you say a lot of the same stuff, just said the same thing right above.

I feel like it’s easier to play on the road on opening night… you have no pressure and can just focus on you. With a sold out barn and all the expectations we have, I feel like it’s going to take a period for the guys to get going.

How long before someone accidentally calls Hannah, Abby…

We haven’t even gotten on the forecheck yet, think it has more to do with nerves, playing at home on opening night is always going to create some jitters… Burns even said he was nervous going into the game.

Would like to see KK shot that.

Bit of a slow start but to be expected.

I like the start for de Haan and Chatfield.

Let’s get it!!!

Which is why Chatfield is playing tonight in my opinion, we won’t need Coghlan’s offense, but we need our best defenders on the ice.

Threads

So it doesn’t appear that Coghlan is hurt, RBA said it was a tough decision and they decided to go with Chatfield. Think it could be partly because Chatfield is a better pure defender than Coghlan and Bear. RBA also said that there will be a lot of rotation at that position. Columbus has a lot of firepower so RBA might want the best defensive defenseman out there. Coghlan definitely has a place on this team though, he’s going to be a real good third pairing, puck moving defenseman and PP QB2.

Not sure, he had been practicing.

Think they are hanging the Metro banner tonight too, so expect a later puck drop.

Projected lines… coming in hot. Teravainen - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - Kotkaniemi - Necas Stastny - Staal - Fast Martinook - Stepan - Kase Slavin - Burns Skjei - Pesce de Haan - Chatfield Andersen Raanta Extra’s - Noesen, Coghlan, Bear LTIR - Pacioretty, Gardiner

Opening night so I feel like it’ll be closer to 7:30PM with all the pregame announcements and festivities. Anywho, no Merzlikins tonight for CBJ, he’s out with an illness.

One thing I missed here, the Canes have indeed decided to put Patches on LTIR. Originally it was believed that they weren’t, but ultimately that’s where Patches ended up. Drury is now able to move freely between Chicago and Carolina as long as another player gets put on waivers as the Canes are already at the max roster size (23).

If it guaranteed that we’d win the lottery I’d do it lol. Wembanyama is obviously the prize but Scoot Henderson is a good consolation and I’m sure someone from college will make a case as well

Completely forgot that Vegas added Hotdog Kessel… also our old pal, Nic Roy, has carved out a nice role for himself in Vegas. The Canes shipped Roy to Vegas for Haula (boooo) a few years ago.

Interested in watching LA, they play hard and they added Fiala in the offseason which should certainly help their offense. Maybe they can sneak into the playoffs as a wild card team.

Also, hot take, without Shesterkin, Rangers are only a fringe top 10 team. Gallant has them playing better than they are and obviously having Shesterkin is a massive benefit.

Rangers are definitely one of my least favorite teams… all their fans that moved to Cary come out of the wood works when the Rags are in town and they act like it’s their home arena. I’ve gotten into my fair share of shouting matches with their fans.

Well… New York looks like they are going to open up with a win.
