lightsout

We're gonna be seeing this the rest of the year.

I'm just saying, the Carolina Hurricanes have gotten tough wins with major starters being out recently. If you're wanting somewhere to put a few hours a week, the Canes are it

If we can't throw, we won't win games. It's that simple. Cam running can't be our only meaningful production consistently.

Got another off a really good pass on zone entry. Real nice top shelf shot

True no matter the context.

That's the thing. We've been on this trend for a few years now. This is unlike 15-1 because that was sort of out of nowhere. This team started trending and has steadily improved to this point through player development and really, really, REALLY fuging smart roster moves. But your point is taken, this is the most fun we've had aside from the year of the birth of the Storm Surge. This team is wide open and should be scaring teams come April.

The extended rest will do us good after this last week. Having a full roster for next Thursday will be nice.

Well coached team that bought into the way we do things and play together. It's a far bigger story than it will ever get credit.

Strong special teams play. Strong neutral zone. So far we're making them earn everything.

How I'm sure we are all looking at this team right now

Andersen is on his bullshit tonight. That cross crease save was simply great.

You know, even with guys being out...our top 2 lines are legitimate. Kotkaniemi is the only borderline third liner. I'm good with how this roster has worked itself out

So far I really like our PP tonight. Fast is hungry and that effort getting rewarded is good. Poturalski also with strong play just a minute and a half in. Lol 2-0 lead at 18 minutes with 3 shots on. That's production, boys

We're slipping, boys and girls. Kotkaniemi got after it. That's a goal.

We didn't just pull this one out, we looked damned good. Almost forgot we were 2/3 of a line short of a full roster at times, including the final two minutes. This team has heart and that's been consistent with RBA teams thus far. Make no excuses, find a way to get it done.

Set lines won't matter except for situationally. We're rolling short shifts at the start of the periods and hoping to strike quick. Only shot we have to win this one. We are the definition of shambles.

I'm just saying....all but a literal couple of people in the NHL are vaccinated (I know it's like 2 players are unvaccinated. Every official is vaccinated. I imagine most/all coaches are, as well as front office personnel). Most of the public is as well. If you're asymptomatic for 24 hours, you should be clear. But then I'm no doctor so that may in actuality be a terrible idea, I honestly don't know.

Need to set the minimum roster for a game to have full lines and pairings with an alternate for each. No way should 7 forwards be expected to roll the whole game. They're going to have to run it like a pickup game. So stupid.

The team is 100% vaccination. Breakthroughs are going to happen and as often as they travel, it's hard to really tell how much contact they have with other people and things other people touch or handle. I'm of the mind that vaccination means lower viral load anyway, right? If so, just let them travel back to Raleigh and be at home for the rest of protocol. Really isn't much reason to keep them in Vancouver.

The long season lends itself to fewer knee jerk reactions. I remember being a bubble playoff team and other Canes boards and the Reddit were pretty heated when we'd make bad personnel decisions or whatnot, but you're right it's generally not as toxic as the main forum.

Honestly fine with him being purely defensive. Could be useful to have that extra ugly on pk and bottom lines.

I know he is but goddamn man, the "I'm glad he's here but I'm also not" line he had earlier was just one of those Tripp-isms that we all face palm over lol

He's pure potential. If he puts on size he could be a force because he likes to play physical. Not sure how he is on the puck but everything I've seen on him says he's more of a defensive guy

Tripp Tracy is still just the worst with the off the cuff commentary. Never change, Tripp

We've got the urgency at least.
