When’s Raanta coming back. Him and Freddie are our best bet at this point.

Canes outplaying Leafs this period, goalie playing is the difference. We’ve had a lot of good looks.

Fire Waddell. This team was the best team all year and we didn’t do poo except add 2 fuging scrubs in ghost and pool bath. Now we look lost.  When you have a window. You double down. That piece of $hit GM fuged us by being cheap. Now the hole is massive. 

Yep. Waddell counted on everyone to stay healthy, including Svech, instead of getting a big scorer at the trade which we needed to replace Pacioretty . 

Leafs showing they are the real thing. Have to beat teams like this if you want to get out of the first round.  

It’s more Canes beating themselves with turnovers that lead to grade A’s than it is koochie. Kooch hs made saves on several grade A’s but you just can’t allow Leafs to have this many.

A score on the PP when the 2nd starts gets us back in the game. Do it.

I really wished that reporters would tell us after the event, not before. I hope this doesn’t jinx us tonight.

Leafs are ranked 3rd on the power play so will be a challenge for sure. I just want to see the Canes score on the PP. 

Leafs are also highly ranked for limiting SOG, Canes had 30 last time they played. Something to watch.

Leafs lost their last two games so you know they’ll be playing hard.

But so will the Canes. Their defense against the PP has been outstanding: 

Found this article from Finland where Pacioretty had his latest ACL surgery. His previous surgery on his ACL tear was done in Raleigh, which as you know he re-injured only 5 months after that first surgery. This time it’s a more reasonable 8-9 months minimum if he is able to return to hockey.

To be fair, Max came back on his time & terms. He was never pressured to come back when he did.

Ok. But some physician had to ok it for him to play. Team Surgeon? Who knows.

Welp, don't see how they get past Boston now.

We’ve played well against Boston this season and think we’ll do the same even without Svech.

Its the Rangers who’ve whipped us pretty good both times we played them and we have two games against them pretty soon.

I have said I think Young has the stronger grasp of how to read defenses and process than any of the others.  I know it's all about his height/weight for most here, but I am telling you he will be a great NFL QB.

Maybe Stroud did well on the S2 too.  I really just saw one game where I thought Stroud's pre-snap reads and adjustments stood out and it was against GA where they had a month to prepare.  It doesn't work that way in the NFL.

Either way, I trust the staff we have to make the right choice! 

Yeah, tbh I’m a little skeptical as to how well the S2 Cognitive computer based test translates to on field performance without seeing past data for ALL the QBs to compare with actual performance.

Also the article said Young has been taking that test since 10th grade, well you’re going to get better on any repeated test the more times you take it.

Agree that the Panthers will make the decision that way we absolve ourselves of any blame lol

Don’t know if this has been posted, but fyi Bryce Young apparently scored high on the S2 Cognitive test for what that’s worth.

Anyone who wants ODB around our team let alone the #1 pick in the draft needs to look at this video at 9 minutes in to see how nice the security were to him, then at about 14 how selfish and obnoxious he truly is.  So sorry dude that you are put off that a PLANE FULL OF PEOPLE are put out because of YOU.  He can be someone else's problem and I if we play him, I hope JC Horn embarrasses his smug ass.  The man has little to no character.  I never want him to use Bank of America, eat at Bojangles, and from here on out is banned from consuming sweet tea.

 

 

 

 

What a self-entitled and selfish POS.

True, Freddie had a good game other than giving up one on ones. Sometimes you have to stop some of those but Freddie hasn’t seemed to stop many of them. He did stop enough in the shootout a few games ago for us to win.

Final. Blackhawk’s beat Boston 6-3. First time this season Blackhawks have scored 6 goals.

Chicago Blackhawks hanging tough, leading the Bruins 4-3 in the third.

Good game, definitely a great team effort win. Glad to see the front line scoring.

Wirh our goalies as they are, gotta figure many games we need to score 4-5 goals to win down the road.

Great pass from Noesen to Drury and Drury buried it!

Burns made a highlight reel stop on the Jets breakaway

Fug it, put him on the shelf until next May. Give the big man as much time as he needs, plus as we learned from the Lightning, there's no salary cap in the playoffs!

Totally agree, give Svech time to fully heal. Seems we brought Pacioretty back too soon based on his re-injury. 

My 1st period observations - Canes fortunate to be a goal ahead with that puck bounce. Jets have had too many clean looks at the goal, we aren’t defending our net that well, fortunately Freddie has done a good job stopping pucks.

Hopefully next period we send some pucks home.

On da board baby! Slavin!

Ghost and Coghlan together…

lol

Prediction - 

Ghost scores. Coghlan gives away the puck to make it irrelavent.

From Walt Ruff:

The #Canes look at morning skate:

Puljujarvi - Aho - Jarvis

Teravainen - Kotkaniemi - Necas

Martinook - Staal - Fast

Stepan - Drury - Noesen

Slavin - Burns

Skjei - Pesce

Gostisbehere - Coghlan

Andersen in the starter’s crease.
