Chatfield actually beat a couple Lightning guys the other night to nullify icing calls. I missed last night's game due to a previously scheduled social engagement, but I really like Chatfield and Coghland. Bear is gonna be the odd man out, sorry to say. I really like the kid and hope he makes a career in the league, but he's not quite there yet to make this team.

Gotcha. We have the 11-game plan as well.

How'd you get tickets already? I have season tickets and the stadium game isn't available to us until the 4th.

I'm watching the Florida Governor Sh!thead press conference and I've heard a few million without power, and that entire electrical infrastructure will need to be rebuilt in some areas, 100 temporary cell towers will be deployed. Then they go on to say that people who sheltered in place need to call some phone number or register on some website. How does one do this without power or cell service?

Another positive from last night's game: Necas actually shot the puck with a little pressure on him. Don't know how many times last season I was screaming for him to shoot. Now to get TT to do the same.

The issue with defensemen is this- only 2 lefties in the mix: Slavin and Skjei are the only lefties. I think Coghlan gets Bear's spot as the #3 RD, Calvin DeHaan is on a PTO and he's the only other LD on the roster. Slavin-Burns Skjei-Pesce DeHaan-Coghlan Chatfield/Bear (keep in mind, Bear is on a $2.2M contract) are the 2 contenders for the 7th D-man spot.

This is the best opportunity the 24-year old blue-liner has had. He wasn't a top starter in Vegas, playing in 29 games during the COVID-shortened season and 69 games last year. He played 2 seasons in Chicago before they were a Hurricane affiliate. But look at these numbers and I think the Canes may have found a diamond in the rough:

Canes will finish with at least 45 shots. Coghlan must have 10...

TB needs to fill a lot more holes in their lineup than the Canes. Canes are pretty much stacked this year. I'm talking Paige Spirinac stacked.

Good to have Tripp back!

Imagine the level of expectation and pressure on the kid named Bobby Orr to succeed in the NHL. Parents did him no favors...

I prefer individual game threads. But then, I'd also like to see them disappear within a few days after the game. No need to leave them up for weeks after the game.

You mean, like Jacoby Brissett and Daniel Jones?

Stevie Wonder would not have challenged that call.

Imagine starting a season 0-3 losing to Jacoby Brissett, Daniel Jones and Jameis Winston. Any other HC with any self-respect would jump off a roof.

Maybe because Arby's is paying him more?

Was reported on WRAL sports on the late news last night that Gardiner has "suffered a setback" and is not participating in camp. I'm not a cap guy, but how long do we have to carry him and at what point does it become counterproductive? I mean, he's an okay blue-liner, not a franchise player. Why are we going into year 3 without him on the ice?

Canes camp roster is 47 skaters and 6 goalies. On-ice sessions started today after physicals yesterday. Would love to know Jake Gardiner's status following the physical.

And there you go... he could join an entire organization of dicks, he'd be right at home.

I would give New Orleans a bag of dicks for him, just to make sure they didn't have to suffer through another season of not having a bag of dicks on the sideline.

You're fortunate. Most municipalities and counties require foundation permit and inspection, regardless of what is sitting on top of it. Electrical?

How's the permitting process and inspections where you are? Fairly quick and hopefully not waiting for days to do a foundation final, etc.?

Been awhile and I've finally gotten onboard with some of the more popular series of the past couple years: Queen of the South Breaking Bad Ted Lasso If you haven't watched any of the "Untold" sports documentaries on Netflix- they are good: "Bad Sport" on Netflix is another series similar to "Untold." Couple of those episodes are really good. I still have to catch up on Barry and Succession from this past season.

The Saints have been beating Carolina's ass for quite some time. Specifically, a 2-9 going back to the 2017 season. And, given some of the most dismal performances in the history of the franchise, I doubt another loss to the Saints will make any difference.
