During the Olympics, there are restrictions on teams making player transactions. The Olympic Roster freeze goes from February 4 at 3pm ET to February 22 at 11:59 ET. During the freeze: No Trades are permitted Players can be sent down if they are waiver exempt, except for players that played in 16 of the team's 20 NHL games prior to the freeze, or have been on the NHL roster for 80 league days prior to Jan 21 Players can be placed on waivers during the freeze, but if the player was waived after their NHL team's final game before the freeze, they do not have to report to their new team until February 17. There are no restrictions on sending players down prior to the freeze. https://puckpedia.com/news/olympic-roster-freeze

Canes are only the 5th team in history to come from 2 goals down in the last 2 minutes of the game.

I'd be okay with bringing back a 32 year old if NY retains about 25% of his salary. Otherwise, I'm looking more long-term and would appreciate a younger guy who will be around for a minute. Tro is under contract at $5.625M AAV through the 29-30 season. Canes get him at $4M and not have to give up the farm, I'm okay with it. You gotta know he's probably not here but for 2, maybe 3 years tops. Never been a fan of getting a 2-3 year guy and giving up a 5-6 year guy.

Reports are Panarin is actively engaging with Washington, and has contacted the 3 California teams (Ducks, Kings & Sharks). Carolina's interest in Panarin remains internal front office discussion and the 2 teams have not specifically addressed him. Leades me to believe Trocheck might be the real target.

I was cussing at every one of their PPs. Wife smacked me 'cuz there were some kids sitting in front of us. I wasn't aware Sergachev was such a dick. He really got away with some cheap shots.

Spot on. Ehlers - 2C - Blake 2nd line would be killing with a legit 2C and Ehlers.

Canes are getting bitch slapped and won't respond. Canes are the schoolyard sissies. PP coach gets fired between periods.

Remains to be seen if Thomas will be healthy by the playoffs.

A 100 point season elsewhere translates to an 80 point season under RBA. No question he's racking up points, but look at the Rangers and, specifically, his line. JT Miller, 32, $8M AAV for another 4 years beyond this. Trocheck, 32, $5.65M AAV for another 3 years. Zibanejad, 32, $8.5M AAV for another 4 years.... Thanks, but I'll take a 27-29 year old with an upside. Matter of fact, get Schmaltz from Utah for the next 2C. Watch him tonight. He's a UFA after the season, but Utah is in the playoffs right now.

Really hope not. A 34-year old winger on the downside of his career is not what I envision.

Bussi in the starters crease and Shayne Gostisbehere is on the ice and returning tonight alongside Nikishin. No other scratches noted, but with Robinson still out, Philp, although in concussion protocol, was waived yesterday. Jaaska is back, so I think waiving Philp was to make space for Jaaska. Svech - Aho - Jarvis Hall - Stank - Blake Ehlers - Staal - Martinook Carrier - Janky - KK Slavin - Chatty Miller - Walker Ghost - Nikishin Bussi

Rags pulling Panarin off the ice until the Olympic break "for roster reasons." Anyone hearing anything, while I really hope the Canes are not involved?

I'll be at the Mammoth game Thursday. See ya's!

17 of 48 faceoffs.... ughhh.

Wasn't a game misconduct- he'll be back. At least, that's what Big Mike just said.

Did Hall get a game misconduct?

Oh well, no shut-out. But I'm happy with his 19th win and 2 points.

He's been struggling at the dot most of the year, and, at this point, he may be in his head. He hasn't scored in a minute either, but he's making plays.

Yeah, I had to do a double take as well.

Taylor Hall.

32%. 6 of 19.

I meant Matthew, and you knew that, but thanks.

The US team doesn't stand a chance with the Tkachuck brothers. Keith is getting rag-dolled since getting back on the ice for Florida and Brady spends more time looking for a hit than contributing to a goal. Face-offs with the Canes have become a problem.

Ceremony honoring Jacques Martin. 4th line score.
