  1. Need another. Boston hasn't started pressing yet.
  2. Boston playing D thru the middle of the ice. Canes need to play outside in.
  3. Raanta is keeping the Canes alive right now. Lousy passing and too many turnovers.
  4. I still like Domi much better in the middle and Stepan has been playing well, tough to sit veteran leadership he brings. Forwards: Svechnikov - Aho - Jarvis Domi - Trocheck - Teravainen Niederreiter - Staal - Fast Martinook - Kotkaniemi - Necas Defensemen: Slavin - DeAngelo Skjei - Pesce Smith - Cole Starting Goalie: Raanta Injuries: Frederik Andersen Scratches: Ethan Bear Steven Lorentz Derek Stepan
  5. I was at that show. One of the last concerts we attended before COVID. And the 2018-2019 season playoff series against the Islanders- we were in attendance for the game 4 win and sweep and was honored as the Hero of the Game that night.
  6. He started 3 years at an SEC school and he got drafted, so there's a skill set to be seen somewhere. I haven't seen him play since the 2020 season and I saw a lot of frustration, a lot of temper, a lot of attitude and a lot of what looked to me like giving up during games. Hopefully he matured during his senior season, because I liked what I saw when he started as a sophomore, but seemed to take a step backward in his junior season.
  7. In 4 years a lot of people will be saying, "We let Darnold walk for this guy?" Clausen 2.0.
  8. I've seen 3-4 games... kind of. Had the TV tuned in while I was doing other things, but it's like watching early training camp before the first round of cuts. Especially on the WR/TE side, where you might see more dropped passes in one game than you'll see all season with any NFL team. Other than that it's a little entertaining- the mikes pick up everything and you can listen to the radio calls between bench and players. It's okay...
  9. So, while the remainder of this year's draft is camp-fodder for everyone else, the Panthers need to find diamonds in the large pile of crap that is this year's class. 5-12 season is the Rhule, not the exception.
  10. That's one of the 3. Jacobs and Abram? I'd keep both of them for a 5th year.
  11. Good to see Bear coming back with a good game. Cole just took the wrong guy and left the wing open.
  12. The NFL schedule has 17 games. The NHL schedule has 80 games. The Carolina Hurricanes have lost 20 games this season. The Carolina Panthers have lost 23 games in the last 2 seasons.
  13. Wouldn't surprise me if they win again. The Devils are missing some key guys tonite as well.
  14. If Lorentz finds his physicality and starts playing heavier, he'd be a lot more effective. Unfortunately, I have a feeling that may not come until he's on someone else's roster.
  15. I think Vinny, because he got his first game off of the season the other day, is now the defacto leader on the ice with the "C" (Staal) and one of the "A"s (Slavin) taking the night off. Be interested to see who is wearing the C and the other A.

The Canes took care of business when they had to- a real gut check game in Madison Square Garden against a favored and chasing Ranger team who were looking to tie the top spot in the Metro as well as tie the regular season series. Last Time Out: The Canes locked up their 2022 Metropolitan Division championship Tuesday night by hanging on for a win over the New York Rangers. Pyotr Kochetkov weathered an early storm for the team inside Madison Square Garden, aiding in a pivotal turning point in the game. Carolina was forced to kill off three penalties in a span of 7:04 and they did so successfully, then allowing them to pick up the game's momentum. Less than two minutes later they scored, kicking off a three-goal second period swing. Tack on an early third marker from Sebastian Aho and that would be all that the Canes needed to close the book. Franchise History: In addition to locking up the number one seed in the Metro, the Canes also set two new records for the organization on Tuesday. The team picked up their 53rd win of the season and in turn their 113th and 114th points of the season, both new highs. Five In A Row: Not to be overlooked, Carolina has also won five games in a row now, dating back to last Monday in Arizona. They've also scored 21 goals during that span, an uptick of their season average of 3.35 goals-per-game. Kochetkov's Arrival: This time last week Pyotr Kochetkov had yet to play in an NHL game. Now, he's won his first three games in three appearances in four days. Kochetkov earned wins in starts over New Jersey and the New York Rangers, with a relief appearance victory in between over the New York Islanders. With 55 stops on 61 shots against thus far, the rookie has made waves around the league, emerging as the latest brick wall in net for Carolina. While an update on Frederik Andersen could come as soon as today, one of either Kochetkov or Antti Raanta is expected to start for the Canes this evening. Let The Kid Cook: Rookie Seth Jarvis moved his career-long point streak to six games with an assist on the above Aho goal. Since March 17 he has recorded 19 points, which ties him with Aho for the team-lead. He is also just the second rookie since the franchise's relocation to have a point streak of six games or more. The other? Aho in 2017. Playing The Full 60: The Canes have a league-best +45 goal differential in the third period thus far this season. Including a 11-2 ratio within the last week alone, the group has proven to never be out of games in the third, while at the same time displaying a killer instinct to put teams away. A Look At The Other Side: The Devils enter their second-to-last regular season having lost their last four games played. Unfortunately they are also limping to the finish line of their season health-wise, as already without superstar Jack Hughes, they will not have P.K. Subban nor Nico Hischier tonight, both of whom did not travel due to non-COVID illnesses. AHL Utica's leading goal scorer, Alexander Holtz, has joined New Jersey in Carolina though, and could be a player to watch. ADDITIONAL NOTES: Milestones Within Reach: Vincent Trocheck is five points shy of 100 as a member of the Hurricanes. What Are We Wearing?: The Canes will be wearing their red sweaters tonight. LINEUP: A few guys sitting tonight and the lines are juggled all over the place. Forwards: Lorentz - Aho - Jarvis Domi - Trocheck - Teravainen Niederreiter - Stepan - Fast Martinook - Kotkaniemi - Necas Defensemen: Cole - DeAngelo Skjei - Pesce Smith - Bear Starting Goalie: Raanta Injuries: Frederik Andersen Scratches: Jaccob Slavin Jordan Staal Andrei Svechnikov
  17. A pure asshole if there ever was one. Guy's biggest claim to fame was clever nicknames.
  18. What a regular season it was. We were able to attend about 8 or 10 games this year, bought season tix for the 22-23 season and will probably get to see 1 or 2 playoff games in Raleigh. There is not a player on this roster who didn't contribute. Sure, not everyone can be a star every night, but every guy on the roster did something special at one point or another this season. SO, while everyone else will point to Aho, Svech, Turbo, Vinny and others; my choice is the Staal line. 6 months ago I had concerns about #11 being able to keep it going after all these years, but that line carried this team down the stretch. They played heavy as well as any team in the league and, as a 3rd line, have 114 points! (Staal: 36 pts, +11; Fast: 34 pts, +24; Nino: 44 pts, +29). And, first and foremost, I'm a defensive guy and there are few, if any, better than Slavin. Add Tony D this season, Skjei has improved leaps and bounds over last season, the youngest member of the D- Ethan Bear, will continue to improve and Jalen Chatfield will likely be on the roster full time this coming season. I love these guys!
  19. Very good 2nd period. Lots of O zone possession time and, of course, great PK. Skjei with 2 assists, Nino blew a couple guys up, but that Turbo pass fake to the top shelf! NY has a damn good fore check, though, and Carolina needs to get more clears. This game close at the end, the Rangers with an extra attacker are dangerous.
  20. NEW YORK, NY. - Pyotr Kochetkov will face the biggest test of his young NHL career Tuesday, starting in net for the Carolina Hurricanes against the New York Rangers. Kochetkov made his NHL debut on Saturday against the Devils, earning a win by stopping 17 out of 19. Then, during Sunday's second period against the Islanders, the 22-year-old entered in relief when Antti Raanta went down with an injury. After the first shot beat him, he locked it down to go 7/7 the rest of the way, earning a second victory in as many days. On the Raanta front, he is expected to back up Kochetkov tonight, a welcomed sign after being forced out of the game in what looked like clear lower-body pain. Rod Brind'Amour said after morning skate that it does not appear to be a serious injury and that Raanta could play tonight if he had to, but there's no point in putting someone in there who isn't 100%. Brind'Amour was also asked about Frederik Andersen, to which the head coach said that he did not have an update today, but he is hoping to get one tomorrow. Up front, Vincent Trocheck comes back in after being rested for the victory on Long Island. Steven Lorentz comes out as a result. Additionally, Andrei Svechnikov bumps up to play alongside Sebastian Aho and Seth Jarvis, a role that had been held as of late by Teuvo Teravainen. Domi moves up to the 2nd line with Vinnie and Turbo. Stepan- will he step up again tonight when he takes charge of the 4th line between Martinook and Necas? Forwards: Svechnikov - Aho - Jarvis Domi - Trocheck - Teravainen Niederreiter - Staal - Fast Martinook - Stepan - Necas Defensemen: Slavin - DeAngelo Skjei - Pesce Smith - Cole Starting Goalie: Kochetkov Injuries: Frederik Andersen Jesperi Kotkaniemi Scratches: Ethan Bear Steven Lorentz
