Bad reporting and headline, Peel was not “fired”... The NHL said he will not be calling anymore games. He remains on payroll, will retire on time, and keeps his pension.

Agree...I have nightmares that I’ll flip on NHL Network and see something crazy like “Breaking News: The Carolina Hurricanes trade Sebastian Aho and a second round pick to Buffalo for Eric Staal...”

It was interesting being at the Cane’s (first fan attending) Home Opener. Some random notes and observations from the arena experience (instead of the on-ice game itself) for those not there: Wearing a mask the whole game was harder than i thought it would be, enjoyed being back for live hockey, but not sure I’d want to attend again until masks are no longer required. Concourse was set-up for one way traffic, though several ignored the signage. Food options were very limited, three vendors on first floor and one on the third. All offering the same limited options.

Ned had a .913 save percentage in the third period...and gave up 2 goals! That does not compute, lol. Great effort by Ned to keep things close with Florida dominating the period, don’t know how he wasn’t first star of the game?!

Canes played a much better game than the last two lackluster efforts, but it didn’t change the outcome. Pity. Curtis Mc was solid.

First game I didn’t get to watch all year. I guess this loss is on me? Give me all the poop emojis you want...apparently I, and the team, deserve them after this stinker!

Canes 2, Post 2, and Blackhawks 1...

I didn’t notice it live, but to Ned’s credit, when I saw the replay, he did poke check the puck...unfortunately it bounced right back on Huberdeau’s stick...

Those aren’t your grandmother’s Florida Panthers, what a good looking team game they have.

Zinger had a pretty solid start to the season, interesting move.

Good stuff! Thanks for posting.

Good stuff!

You’re correct, they were speculating during the broadcast that it could have been a disciplinary sitting. It wasn’t known until after the game when Rod confirmed Turbo was nursing an injury was the reason for the bench-ride

Svech!
