Not sure how the Canes are favored in the opener, but they are.

Look, we're not out of this by any stretch of the imagination, but if we can't at least play .500 hockey against the top tier teams, it's not going to look good at the end of the year. Only 3 points out of the top spot, but somehow the "rebuilding" Blackhawks are playing good hockey right now. 

Let's get out of this rut, boys!

Game Preview

The Hurricanes look to salvage a road trip that’s already gone awry.

Carolina Hurricanes (12-6-1) at Florida Panthers (13-4-2)

2021 Regular Season Game 20

Saturday, February 27, 2021 - 7 p.m. ET

BB&T Center — Sunrise, Florida

Watch: Fox Sports Carolinas

Listen: 99.9 The Fan

SBN Opposition: Litter Box Cats

Whatever comes next for the Hurricanes, they’re going to do it without Teuvo Teravainen, who was recently diagnosed with a concussion. Rod Brind’Amour confirmed that Teravainen will not accompany the team on this road trip.

VITAL STATISTICS

They have an edge in shots and we have an edge in the faceoff circle. Everything else is pretty...

GAME NOTES

  • Sebastian Aho unsurprisingly leads the Hurricanes in points, with 17 in 19 games. Vincent Trocheck, Andrei Svechnikov, and Jordan Staal are close behind him. Trocheck and Nino Niederreiter are both sitting on nine goals for the season.
  • The tendency to outscore their problems might make this a challenge for the Hurricanes, given James Reimer’s struggles in net recently. The defense and goaltending will need to be strong tonight to keep Florida’s dangerous scorers away from the net.

lol

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F  
    • You gonna make me post Stank before every game?  I kid, I kid.
