To keep things simple, we'll call it a team shutout. In reality, goalies are not tagged with empty netters on their stat sheet; and goalies who are replaced during the game are only tagged with the loss if they gave up the game winner to the other team. So, in order to keep the complications in check, we'll call it a team shutout. If anything happens out of the ordinary, we'll have to take it under review. Hope this helps.

Here it is, just in time for the post-season. There is a new wrinkle to the challenge that was not in play during the regular season. You may call a shutout by naming either goalie, Carolina or the opponent, as your pick. You cannot make a goal scoring pick, only one pick per game is allowed. If you pick Freddie, for example, you are calling him to put up a shutout and that is your pick for the game. No others allowed. 16 wins are needed to win the Cup, let's see if someone can get at least 16 correct picks for the post-season!

He was holding his head when he was down. On replay, his head whiplashed into the boards. Not surprised if this is concussion related.

Final standings from the inaugural "You call the shot" contest, sponsored b y absolutely nobody. Fun how it shook out. We started on November 18, with a total of 66 games being played since the first pick was made. There were 40 correct picks made from those 66 games, which, collectively, is a higher percentage than Martin's save percentage against Columbus the last game of the season. I'm pretty sure without fact-checking. Well done to everyone and thanks for playing along. There will be a playoff contest with an added choice. It'll be posted Friday sometime.

Ottawa laid down for the Rags and Boston laid down for Ottawa, opting for the Leafs.

Tampa v Rags would have been a physical match that could have gone either way.

Max Comtois: Hands of Stone.

Speaking of.... what does the goalie situation look like next season, in your opinion.

Why didn't they call David Ayers?

Wait, after reading some of your posts over the last 6 months....

TT is the worst interview. No wonder they call him Captain Serious.

Martin has no idea where the puck is...

I don't care if it is a throw-away game, it's embarrassing to get your ass handed to you by a bad hockey team.

Ya think?

Martin is not good. He looks like Raanta after the Tampa Bay game that essentially ended his career.

Liking Nadeau too. Those cannons from the dot playing on PP 1

Thank you.

TDA playing with some accountability tonite. Backing up the rooks and talking to them

As well as Martin played in his limited opportunities, he looks lost so far. Nerves? Settle in?

Martin has a .000 save percentage so far.

I'll call game after the 1st if Carolina doesn't respond.

fug you RBA for resting players. Let your guys get embarrassed on the last day of the season.

Watch the Canes get smoked all the way back to Raleigh.

No Tripp tonight? So, Canes own all the tie-breakers, so they have home ice regardless, except for the Rags. At least that's what Maniscalco said.

Here are the CBJs not playing tonight: Fantilli, K. Johnson, Carson Meyer, Yegor Chinakhov, Voronkov, Boqvist, Tarasov, Jake Bean, Patrick Laine, Jenner...
