So in our last 5 games, we have allowed 3 plus goals in each one resulting in only 1 win because we scored 6. So glad we decided to stick with what we have in net and not making any moves.

I did like how Ned played last night. He was pitching a shutout until that dumbass pass.

We got a point last night. We have a couple more games to play than the other WC teams. We just gotta get points on this road trip.

It don't look good.

I agree. The current state of goaltending in Raleigh is such that the Canes will likely miss the playoffs.

This team will not make the playoffs like this. I have seen enough of Gardiner he has got to go. He either shoot from 60 feet away or misses the pass at the blue line. He has cost us too many games.

[cookinbrak]

Apparently Dougie took our offense with him.

[kungfoodude]

Yeah, it is tough to have to lose so many key guys late. I hope we can develop some chemistry and get hot late. I don't see a path to the playoffs but if we can be in the chase maybe we can build momentum for next season.

Pesce is done for the season, trading for an injured Sami Vatanen and a tentative Trochek and no goaltending. I don't see the upside here. The only trade making sense to me is Skeij.

3 points out of a playoff spot with 15 games left- and the weekend against the Islanders and Penguins. It doesn't look good.

If we don't win 1 of the next 2 we're done.  We're probably done anyway but that's a definite. 

Skjei is real.

Vatanen setback is disappointing.  

Trocheck looks disappointing but has shown flashes.  

Ned and Forsberg have been exactly what you expect but I was hoping Ned would show out since that's what we need eventually is a freaking franchise goaltender.  

We just look flat and defeated.  We'll get something going and then give up a goal.  We might as well start every game down 2-0.  I don't get it.  

It's not over but it's almost over.

Big W today. Weather the storm....

[cookinbrak]

DAMN!!!! Pulled it out and slapped Pittsburgh across the face with it!!

[cookinbrak]

Another young gun. Geekie is pretty damn good.

Canes just sent Ned back down.

Mrazek is on the road trip and has been working during practice, so maybe he's ready.

Much better weekend than I anticipated- thought the Islanders game would be tough and the Pens a sure loss. Boy am I glad I was wrong (still iffy on the high stick assist- might have gotten away with one there).

Got killed with penalties yesterday (6?) and still managed to dominate what looks like an aging and slow Penguins team. Thought the Canes took a physical beating in NY and fully expected a tired and slower squad yesterday. And yes, I was geeked for the kid playing his first game yesterday.
