I missed the first and most of the second, but they spent a lot of time in their own end. I like they took away the middle of the ice so their shooters couldn't stroll down main street for an easy goal, but they tend to start packing it in a little too far.

Reimer is going to give up a goal every 8-10 shots, we're going to have to live with that. Mrazek, when he comes back, will undoubtedly be tentative with his repaired hand not wanting to take a hit on it, so I think we're still a ways away from seeing Petr on the ice.

That being said, the Canes are 3-0 against Dallas now? Hey, the Canes win 2 of the remaining 5 against the Stars and they come out ahead.

I'm with you and Rocky that Reimer is not a guy you can ride to a Stanley Cup. Not sure Mrazek is either. Ned might be one day. But, I don't think we need any of them to be That Guy this season.

I definitely disagree that both James and Petr are backups. When healthy, they are an almost ideal 1a/1b. Both are guys that you can rely on generally not to lose you the game. And both are capable of games, like tonight, where they are THE reason you win.

In a condensed season, with tons of back to backs, it might be more beneficial to have 2 of those guys than one star netminder and some scrub behind him.

Agreed that neither Reims or Mrazek can be ridden to a Cup.  Petr definitely had a hot start to the season and has that "streakiness" where he can be lights out which I don't think Reims has.  Of course, Mrazek also has times when he scares the crap out of me with how he plays too......

If the committee knows Mrazek is going to be out almost all of this season I would like to see them be proactive and go out and get a Kuemper for the long play.  We may part with Bean and draft picks, but it would be prudent to get that position settled a little before the end of the season.

Just my .01 cent.....

So, the odds are stacked against Carolina for the Saturday night tilt against the Stars.

Central Division home teams are 20-3 in the second game of these 2-game sets this season ans the Caner are 0-3 as the road team in those situations, losing game 2 on the road to Detroit, Chicago and Columbus.

Let's see if they can change that tonite. Reimer is due for a shutout.

Bingo. We really need to get break that streak tonight and start getting a leg up on splitting these series as a whole.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
