Who are you?

A Canes fan. Can’t make a comment or ask a question?

Orlov looking sloppy… A-GAIN!!  What’s up with him??  It’s like he doesn’t like playing.

The whole team is FA next year. Don’t get your dates mixed up. 

Look again. That’s what I said.

I’m fine with Staal coming back as a 4C and I definitely want Fast back. I’m also fine with Andersen and Raanta coming back because I don’t truly trust Kochetkov yet.

But I’d 1000% offer sheet PLD and try to sign a physical presence like Carson Soucy.

Svechnikov - Aho - Teravainen

Pacioretty - PLD - Necas

Noesen - Kotkaniemi - Jarvis

Martinook - Staal - Fast

Drury

Burns - Slavin

Skjei - Pesce

Soucy - Chatfield

Andersen

Raanta

Having a healthy Svechnikov, Pacioretty, and en elite 2C in PLD would probably put us over the hump.

 

Andersen needs to go. 1) He can’t stay healthy and 2) He chokes when the game is on the line. 

I like Pacioretty but I’d let him go and get a healthier player to replace him. Odds are, he will have the same injury again.
 

Raanta is OK as a backup but we need to get a much better starting goal tender. 
 

The front office DEFINITELY needs to get aggressive and start signing some of these players that will be FA’s next year. Has anybody looked it up? Almost the whole team is up for FA next year!  Who does that?

fug I really didn’t want to have to face Bob. The guy has been a brick wall.

Shoot him low, he blocks it. Shot it high, there is a better chance. 

Toronto got robbed. Canes better watch out. 

Sure am going to miss “Jack Hughes is skating, Jack Hughes likes ice cream, Jack Hughes is on the ice, Jack Hughes….”  You get the idea. 

How does the official stand there and watch the Rangers players smash the Devils player in the face with his stick literally 3 feet away and not call a penalty??

I'll step out and say it. Fug Freddie.

He's done nothing but bail on this team the last 2 post seasons. This year- nick, illness, tweaked something. He's a UFA and he'll be gone in short order with a reputation that will precede him.

Freddie starting tomorrow will go something like this- Isles get 2 early scores on Andersen; 2nd period begins with Raanta in net followed by a report Andersen is injured; game 7 on Sunday.

Ya. That sounds about right. He did the same thing in Toronto.

Walt said don’t read too much into it yet. Might just be trying to keep him in game form. Waiting to hear from rod on the post game. But yes if he’s going he better be ready. Apparently he let both power plays score in drills… 

Not good about the power plays. Think Rod should have stuck with Ranta. I hope I’m wrong but if Freddie is in the crease, it might be a long night.

Side note, I`ve gotten to the point where I just turn off the radio in the work van when Adam Gold talks about the Hurricanes. He is so bad. Apparently all of our problems are because of goaltending and nothing else. Thats what he said. I want to slap him.

I agree there are other issues but goaltending has been a huge sore spot. Raanta has been decent in a couple of his playoff starts. He even said the fellas bailed him out in the OT win. Typical Andersen got “injured” during warm ups according to one thing I heard and then I heard he had an illness. He had “injury” issues when he was with the Leafs and he missed the playoffs last year and at the start this year. He is not dependable and the Canes should seriously let him go and look elsewhere.
