I was really hoping this was their year.

It should have been.

It could have been if they didn’t get fancy. Gibbs was running  it all over Washington and they went pass happy. That dumb wr pass play that was picked was just terrible.  I know some lions fans and while they like the coach, they are annoyed with him all the same.  

Redskins vs Bills feels like a classic

The redskins got better when their poo owner sold.  Everything is a result.

It was a set play on the face off and I'll have to watch the replay, but I think Martinook either went the wrong way or got caught up in the wash.

Speaking of, #48 was a stud last night. The only thing he didn't do was score.

Martnook has been a true rockstar each night. Guy goes 100% every game. The young guys should take notice. 

Also, our old boy Ned scored and empty net goal tonight. 

We need to have a legit convo about Burns. That guy for another night in a row looked washed and really made some bad decisions.  It’s not that he is bad, he is just long in the tooth and plays too many minutes at his age.

Which game are you watching?

There live. 1st period was terrible minus Koochie.  2nd period was better, they just couldn’t score. 3rd was pretty darn good minus the last minutes. Canes seem to forget the situation a few times. I did hear post game on the ride home with the wife that rod didn’t like us getting push around so much so he made a line change for big on big and it showed.

That rant didn’t age well

I’ll take it haha. That 3rd period was good.  Not sure what the heck that last 1 min was. Burns and Martnook were screaming at eachother.  

Boy these guys are boring. They have turned into the islanders of 2022. Can’t score. No true threat. Necas is sloppy. Orlov is worse. How this game is tied is beyond me.   We just don’t have the players or the system is bad. Either one. 
 

I don’t know. Somehow get a goal in the third and hold on??  This team is unwatchable.

I would think they'll hold him until Chicago, the 1st game of a b2b on Monday, and work him in slowly.

 

So this is going to go one of two ways. Coochie always played his best when he was pushed by a better goaltender like Freddy. Coochie will either play incredibly well tonight or if he lets in a couple softies, the crowds gonna get really restless for Freddy.

Great Dane activated...does he suit up tonight? Or are we going PK.

Just saw that. Freddie goes tonight.  No doubt. 

Ummmmm. Svech

Season is slipping away. Not too much faith in the boys right now.  Not the most fun hockey to watch. With that being said, the team seems to have had a heart to heart in the locker room and we kinda own Vegas in Raleigh.  

Judging by the media jumping all of the canes efforts and players could go a long way.  Local media is hammering the canes.  Usually when that starts to happen it can really wake up the boys. Slavin called out the canes publicly last night. Said the last month and a half it’s just not good enough. Glad it’s being recognized.  I’ve felt when this team was crushing it, there is a high level of accountability.  This year, there hasn’t been any it seems. Now, it’s seems it’s being addressed.  However, piss poor goalie play will continue to hold them back unless the team gets it. 

Waddell for better or worse had this team filled with competition.  In Tulsky’s first year this team looks unwatchable at times.  I’ve meet him at the arena a few times. Very nice guy.  But, How much blame is on our new GM?  Team is clearly not going in the right direction.  
 

Pussy footed with Guenzal when he wanted to stay. Waited to long to offer the 8-8. Lost him to Tampa. 
 

should have signed an NHL level goalie to work with Koochie when Freddie went down. That one is legit killing us. .500 hockey since Thanksgiving.  
 

didn’t push harder to sign one of our core defenseman last year. 
 

Boy Rod and Slavin were pisssssed post game. Have not seen that fire from either of them this year. 

This team is clearly getting worse. Bumping this thread.

This team is awful in goal and needs a 2C somthing terrible.

 

The team needs a pure kick in the ass by trading for Peterson.

Losing these two games back to back is fuging inexcusable.

Against bad teams mind you.  

This team under rod is so offensively challenged without a goalie and guys that can score this team is not going to make the playoffs

I did tell you all along that Kochetkov wasn't it....

Can't be elite without elite possioning.

I can’t understand how he got so bad. The past couple years when he was considered a rookie he was reallly really good. Now it’s just, ehhhh

Boys this is what happens when our goalie situation is meh and Koochie turns out to being average to below average. 

Such an ass hockey team.  No goalie 

Such an ass hockey team.  No goalie

TBH, it's more than Necas. Take a look at the top 2 lines over the past 15 games. The only guy overachieving is Roslovic, and he's even struggling a little.

I don't think a Necas trade will result in a net-benefit for the Canes, and, I think the Canes are kind of stuck when it comes to the TDL. Again, with Roslovic, Fast, Robinson, Jaask and Jost being the only trade bait forwards- how does the team improve moving any of those guys?

 

Team is in such desperate need of a 2nd center that can win faceoffs AND produce goals. That guy is Staal for us. Think about that one. It’s crazy. Maybe not necas but you could trade KK in the deal
