The Official Carolina Hurricanes Playoff Thread.

Saarela has a wicked wrister seen from the video below.

I thought he originally was a right shot but he’s a left so I expect him to be put on his more dominant and comfortable side with McGinn playing his off side.

I actually think a line of Saarela - Wallmark - McGinn could be dangerous against the right matchup. Wallmark and McGinn are really solid defensively and will help Saarela in that end but on offense Saarela is a pure sniper.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see him get one tomorrow.

He’s also really stout for his size... 5’11”/200 lbs. Wilson has five inches on him but only 18 pounds...

Saarela is legit. One of my favorite Checkers players. He is going to do just fine. 


Also, want to note how well Patrick Brown played in his minutes last night. His game is going to translate well in the NHL. You could tell the pace was a little difficult for him with it being playoffs, but once he found his groove he fit right in on that line.

Get ready for all the Caps cock sucking. Game is only on NBC.

We have Forslund on the broadcast, luckily tonight. So hopefully, he'll shut this dip poo Eddie down. He already called Warren's hit "foul play." Douche.

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
