Lost to an average team. Geez, that was deserved. Did not play well.

Looking very slow, and they had a day off. Not good tonight.

Just me or has Turbo been invisible this season?

Get some net front. Canes are just firing at will, but need to take the goalies eyes away.

Shut the fug up already about Toronto, ESPN. Holy sh!t, just stop! It's fugging non-stop with these people.

My thought exactly.

Is ESPN paying Matthew's contract? Fug, they won't shut up about him. The greatest American hockey player ever? Please.

1-0 after 1st period. And the ESPN crew may as well be Toronto announcers. No enthusiasm. The Canes will get a few more tonite. Calling a 4-1 win.

97 pages (and counting) of posts from Carolina Panthers masochists. And, here we sit with a consistently excellent hockey team, well-run organization, and very few fans. Sports fans in Carolina would rather watch a sh!tshow than follow a winner.

The Leafs handed Boston their first loss of the season last night in Toronto. They also lost Samsonov to injury, but that matters little to the Canes as he was not likely the starter tonight. Matthews scored both goals for the Leafs and, suddenly, Boston looked very tired by the third period. The Canes will almost definitely see Kallgren in net tonight and, to be very honest, he's just not a very good goalie. The Leafs aren't good on the road so far this season either (1-3-2).

Toronto up 1-0 in a fast-paced, physical game halfway thru the first period. Tavares coming off the hattie against Philly the other night. Samsonov is in goal tonite, so I would expect to see Kallgren tomorrow.

Boston is in Toronto tonight. They'll play physical and the Leafs then have to travel to Raleigh for the second game of a back-to-back. Not only will the Canes face a tired team, they'll probably face the Leafs backup goalie.

For those of you who missed it: I know, he had his glove on, but it looked good and got the crowd into the game.

Too many Buffalo fans for my liking. And still a lot of empty seats- place was nowhere close to full last night. The Sabres second goal was a an easy save, looked like Raanta got handcuffed a little, but a softie nonetheless. Aho's best game of the season so far- in ever facet. Face-offs, assists, goals (obviously) and his D was pretty stout last night also.

My wife snatched my hat so fast, I never had a chance. Oh well, it was a few years old.... needed a new one anyway.

Slow and lethargic in the 1st period, so Aho picked the team up and carried them on his back. The right hook will make Sportscenter. So will the hattie.

Sorry guys, was at a wine dinner last night and didn't get home until there was 3:00 left in OT. Thought the Canes could wrap it up when they went 4-on-3, but no such luck. Andersen stood tall in the SO, though and Aho was nasty to end the game. Will be at the game tonite... go Canes!

Another back-to-back tonight in Tampa and tomorrow night back home for Buffalo. Bogosian is out, Hedman is day-to-day and Cirelli is out. The usuals for the Canes, except it should be noted, everyone except Kase was on the ice yesterday, including Max Pacioretty.

Buffalo is a scoring machine. At 6-3-0, they've already put 37 goals up, averaging 4 a game! Friday could be a challenge.

Will be at our first game of the season with our 11-game package this Friday night against the Sabres. I backloaded our games, with the last 5 coming in the last 2 months of the season, including the last home game of the season. So, my wife has always been adamant about not having a TV over the fireplace. So, we were visiting friends in Beaufort not long ago and they have a nice piece of art on the wall and the TV comes on. My wife is really liking the look and I don't say a word.... until Monday. I spent yesterday driving to Cary and measuring the wall to install my new Samsung Frame 65". Spent today tuning it up and situating all the peripherals. All done with the exception of hiding everything. Had to order a new S-audio cable longer than what I have so I can stash all wires and boxes out of the way. I'll have it done tomorrow as soon as Amazon delivers that cable. Watching a playoff run this season will be so much better!

Another way that "certain fans signal their virtue" (whatever the fug that means. I think the appropriate term is virtue signal) tell you point blank they don't watch. Instead, they watch the YouTube highlights. It's 15 minutes versus 3 hours. Get over yourself.

Noessen is the 1st star. Boy, did he take a boarding hit (not called).

That's what I've been waiting for from Stastny.

Fug him.

Kemper is not that good. Keep getting pucks to the net. Washington keeps sagging back to defend the goal, making for good looks in close.
