Also worth celebrating: no Washington, Florida, or Rags this post season.

Get rid of shootouts altogether. 5 minute OTs until someone wins. There is no reason regular season and playoff overtime should be different.

Miller was the best defensive player on the ice tonight.

Did Stank or Fly go in the shootout? WTF?

More than a break. The refs could have gone with a 2 min elbow call after watching the replay.

Philly is desperate and playing accordingly.

Freddie called dibs as the #1 goalie going to the post season. Bussi was good for 30 minutes.

Strong period against a team that needs 2 points to make the playoffs.

Canes only team in the league w/7 20+ goal scorers.

Miller w/ 2 excellent defensive plays and a strong hit in the neutral zone.

Sitting tonite: Svech, Staal, Slavin, Jarvis, Aho, Ghost.

As of today, our first round opponent will be Boston. Subject to change, of course.

At this point, we all get it. You have a very strong dislike for Miller. So much so that not seeing him on the ice you think this is the best D in the league. So much so that even when he does play a complete game, you don't give him credit. Even Taylor Hall said to Tripp the other night that it takes almost an entire season to figure out and get comfortable within the system.

Allowing 23 shots on goal, a lot of grade A's and Utah spending almost the entirety of the 2nd period in their offensive zone is nothing to write home about. Freddie had an outstanding afternoon, but the Canes were only 1 shot from being in a tie game for nearly 35 minutes.

Never seen a team have such a hard time scoring on empty nets, but lead the league in short-handed goals.

Best part of the game is the players in the booth w/Mike & Tripp.

Canes are 6-2-0 against Vejmelka all time.

One of the few times you'll see the other team favored. Who knows, Utah may sit guys, too. And they just clinched a playoff spot Thursday, so they may have a little let-down.

Legault will almost certainly slot in for Chatfield who was injured Tuesday night and is listed as day-to-day. Pull this out and inch another 2 points closer to Eastern Conference champ and a big home ice advantage. Point of interest: Buffalo and Anaheim are the only 2 teams in the NHL without a shootout loss this season. Utah has no shootout wins or losses.... 8 OT games without a shootout. Buffalo has Columbus tonite, @ Chicago Monday and Dallas Wednesday TB is @ Montreal tonite, @ Boston Saturday, Detroit Monday and the Rags Wednesday. So, either TB or Montreal is getting to 104 pts tonite regardless. Be nice to see Columbus keep Buffalo at bay tonite.

Chatfield day-to-day after the Bruin game. Apparently injured during the game. Anyone heard anything?

Certainly, but I always look at it like, "Take care of your business and you don't need any other stuff out of your control to happen."

The Eastern Conference with 4 games remaining: The Canes can secure the conference with 2 wins on their upcoming 4-game road trip to end the season.

Rockin' the .667 save %!

The league doesn't need to hate when the team is this bad. And fug all the season ticket holders who sold their tickets to some Randolph County trailer park full of Boston fans.

Bussi: hot garbage
