What are the chances of hiring either Cooper or Paul Maurice? RBA's system clearly does not work against physical teams.

Team is soft as Charmin. Does anyone on this team know how to fight?

Stats mean dick unless context is there. Aho's stats say he's about a point-per-game player, but the reality is he disappears for games at a time. On another note, the Canes will either be pissed off they blew a 3-0 lead in 10 minutes and they'll play like it, or... They'll fold after losing the face of the franchise and the combination of b2b road games still trying to put a complete starting roster on the ice since opening day.

There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.

How good is this team if someone besides Jarvis shows up on the top line? And Svech's SO winner is, by far, the exception and not the rule.

#52 has been pretty underwhelming.

I had Rossi on my wishlistnas a 2C before the season started.

Because that's the new Canes- sign someone before they get a commitment for a long term deal. Say hello to Jake Guentzel and Rantaanen.

The fan give-away at the next game should be a Hurricanes milk carton with Aho's picture.

Is Aho playing tonight?

As much as I like Brent Burns, Miller on a "bad" night is better than Brent. And Miller will drop the gloves for his team, whereas Burnsie... not so much. And for what it's worth, it's all relative and nobody played worth a damn last night.

The Nashville game was an effort by the entire team. Everyone showed up, everyone contributed. Tonight was the exact opposite. Nobody had any spark. The best players on the ice were Martinook and Robinson. Aho was complete ass and should have been benched. He got tossed from the FO circle how many times? A season long 7-game home-stand against average and below teams. Time to take advantage and create some point difference in a tight division. Instead, 3-3 with one more game.

His new deal is $5.12M for the next 4 years starting next season. It's fair. If he becomes a 60 point guy, then his next deal at 27 years old will be in the 7s or 8s.

Gotta believe the FO is already talking extension, just to take the QO risk off the table.

What does Nikishin's contract look like as an RFA at the end of the season?

Kochetkov is still working thru his injury, otherwise, I'm totally in agreement.

RBA went empty net down 4-1. Lol. PP is terrible, PK even has issues, and your #1 goalie needs to be sent to Chicago. Unless they scored 4-5 goals a night, the Canes are in trouble.

I'm gonna watch something else for awhile and check the score later.

Are you fugging kidding me?

Toronto is playing better now than the last time Carolina faced them. Carolina was -210, I'm sure that was before Freddie was confirmed in net. Not looking forward to this.

Me, too. Calgary just sagged their D and always has 3 guys down low inside the dots. Carolina had about 40 shot attempts, which is still low for them, but the Flames were taking pucks off their legs, knees, skates. The number of guys laboring to get to the bench after blocking a shot was scary. The longer the game went on and Carolina had not scored, the Flames gained confidence. Who was Andersson (Flames #4 wearing the A) trying to fight after Ehlers scored? I'll have to watch the replay later.

Miller makes a lot of heady plays away from the puck that prevent odd-man breaks, stretch passes, etc that a lot of fans don't see. 20 games into his 1st season with the Canes and knowing his play in NY, I'm pretty happy with the addition.

Preds are looking to move Marchessault & Stamkos. Canucks are looking to unload a handful: Boesser, Elias Pettersson, Jake DeBrusk, Conor Garland. I, for one, wouldn't turn my nose up at Marchessault, Boehner or Garland. Even DeBrusk.

I've been saying this for a couple weeks now. Even if you're not a stat geek, you can watch the games and see he's not performing close to what we've seen over the years. Yes, Kochetkov is hurt, but he won't be forever and I think it's time to move on and call Kochetkov and Bussi your 1 and 2. With $11M in cap space, the Canes have an opportunity.

3 goals on 14 shots. RBA's stubborn ass is going to have a #1 goalie with a 5-6-2 record.
