And I think the Canes are seriously considering keeping him next year. Look, after 2 Achilles injuries in less than a year, he'll have had 10 months of rehab before lacing up the skates next season. He will also take a lower salary number given he's very damaged goods at this point. He might play for $5.5-6M versus the $7M he got this year.

Not to mention the 16 shots the Blues got in the 3rd period alone. Anderson stood on his head tonight, otherwise this is a different game.

Yep.

Check this out... https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/2580670/report-blues-join-meier-sweepstakes It seemed like the St. Louis Blues would be all-out sellers ahead of the NHL's March 3 trade deadline, but it turns out they're pursuing the biggest name on the market. "A new team has entered the chat on Timo Meier, and I'm told that it is the St. Louis Blues," Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravalli reported Tuesday. "That may be a surprise to some, but it shouldn't be. I'm told that the Blues inquired with the San Jose Sharks earlier this week about Timo Meier after executing the trades for Vladimir Tarasenko and Ryan O'Reilly." St. Louis shipped O'Reilly to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Friday, eight days after sending Tarasenko to the New York Rangers. The Blues currently have three 2023 first-round picks after those deals, along with two 2023 third-rounders and a pair of second-rounders in 2024. This isn't an unprecedented strategy from St. Louis general manager Doug Armstrong. He acquired a first-round pick in February 2018 when he traded Paul Stastny to the Winnipeg Jets, then included that selection in the package he sent to the Buffalo Sabres for O'Reilly that July. Armstrong also landed a first-rounder by trading Kevin Shattenkirk to the Washington Capitals in February 2017, then sent the pick to the Philadelphia Flyers to acquire forward Brayden Schenn four months later. Numerous suitors for Meier reportedly emerged in recent weeks, including the Carolina Hurricanes, New Jersey Devils, Maple Leafs, and Vegas Golden Knights. The Rangers apparently considered him their top target before reeling in Tarasenko. Meier has 31 goals and 21 assists over 57 games for the Sharks in 2022-23. The 26-year-old Swiss star is on pace for a career-high 43 tallies over an 80-game pace, having missed just one game this season. St. Louis is projected to have approximately $6.75 million in cap space at the deadline, according to CapFriendly. Meier, a pending restricted free agent, is playing out the final season of a four-year contract carrying a $6-million average annual value.

I'll be watching from the house tonite, then I'm off to Aruba for a bit. Will be home just in time to be at PNC for the Flyers game on the 9th and the Jets game on the 14th. I'll be keeping tabs while I'm laying on the beach....

Was mentioned during the Stadium game: Waddell is not a rental guy. He is following Dundon's desire to keep the team competitive and not sacrifice next season for a run this season. Every season will be relevant and competitive. Any prospective FA acquired via trade will have an extension included at some point.

No, it's a legit injury. When teams hold players out while trade talks are pending, they announce it as such, much like the Motte trade to the Rangers and the O'Reilly trade to the Leafs. Both were held out of games and teams announced it was because of possible trade talks. Calling it an injury only hurts the trade value of the player.

I remember him as the stand-up comedian. I don't watch much network TV and have never seen an episode of L&O, so I'm not familiar with his work there. As a stand-up, though, he was pretty irreverent and reminded me a lot of Lenny Bruce.

Yeah, he's listed day-to-day because of a hand injury, at least that's what I read somewhere yesterday.

I'm curious whether Burns has made a phone call yet. Kane does not have Carolina on his list of NMTC teams, and I don't think he's on Waddel's wish list regardless. NY is the hurdle in the Metro division the Canes cannot seem to get over, and they've gotten better this week.

And the largest size is a 2X... not big enough for me.....

There's $12M in free money sitting there. If no trade is going to happen, DW would use the money to start extending contracts of upcoming free agents. Players are going to get moved, it's just a matter of when.

As a former state licensed real estate home inspector in both Virginia and NC, and a former housing code inspector, and code administrator for a major municipality in NC, I will explain how county health departments and city housing code people deal with reports/complaints of mold. Simply put, the mold is not the problem. The mold is the result of the problem- that being a higher than normal moisture content inside the dwelling. Higher than normal moisture content and the resulting mold are not normal and should not be accepted as such. Start from the bottom and work up. Crawl space or basement- look for water intrusion, moisture intrusion and measure the humidity, not only the air, but the framing lumber as well. Inside the house, look for plumbing leaks. The 2 biggest sources of high moisture content and higher than normal humidity are the laundry room and the bathrooms. Is the dryer vent properly installed and vented to the outside and not just dumping into the crawl space? Holes or leaks in the duct? Is there a working exhaust fan in the bathroom and/or a ventilating window? Is there any indication of mold in the bathroom, either the ceilings or walls? Mold in the attic? Is there a ridge vent in the roof or operating gable vents on both ends of the house? One or both of these are designed specifically to keep air moving in the attic. Air circulation prevents mold, moisture buildup and also keeps the heat down in the attic. Hot air rises, and in the winter in houses, it rises through the house into the attic. And from there it further rises and escapes via the ridge vent or the gable vents. I would suggest resolving the moisture issue, then you're not repeatedly trying to mitigate mold and never addressing the reason it's there to begin with.

Should that jacket become available, I will own it.

So, here's the play and slo-mo replay of Anthony Mantha, member of the Washington Caps goon squad slew-footing Martinook, hitting him twice in the face while he was down and then landing a cross check to the head when he was trying to get up. NHL refs for the stadium game missed what should have been a 4 minute penalty and will likely not even levy any fines. Only goes to add to the Caps reputation as a bunch of cheap shot players on a mediocre hockey team. The new Caps motto: "Can't play with the big boys? Just play dirty and don't worry about the losing."

Just gonna put this out there.... The 25th Anniversary of the Canes has been much better done than the Panthers 25th.

Good win on a nationally televised game. Solid across the board, maybe a couple defensive lapses, but they kept the forechevk going all night and every one of their 4 goals were clean and well played. Oh, and that Necas goal was an Ovi special....

That was weak and lazy. But, not unexpected. Get another and go back up by 4.

Calamari followed by a chopped blue cheese salad. Grilled swordfish steak with Bernaise sauce and loaded baked potato. 2018 Cuttings Cabernet from The Prisoner. In my favorite chair watching on my Samsung Frame with my wife who is a huge Caniac. Well, she's not huge, but she's a huge fan..., well.... fug it, you know what I mean.

Nothing about the Mantha hit/slew foot on Martinook was clean. Fug him, fug Wilson and fug Washington. I hope this goes about 7-0.

Everyone was right... fed into every stereotype of the south in the matter of 45 minutes. I've lived in this state for 30 years now and I had a hard time understanding anything that guy was singing. But I'm sure there were trucks, girls, beer, booze, dogs and shitkicking.

Washington already gooning it up and the refs have called nothing. This could be tough unless Carolina just puts it out of reach. Hope no one gets hurt tonite. Aho has been penalty-worthy tripped and cross checked already.

He didn't make the TV broadcast.

Hey, look, goon Tom Wilson has magically appeared in the lineup.

Well, no better way to display that is to beat southern teams... like the Canes. Seems like most Canadian teams have difficulty with that.
