Going out on a limb- Staal, Foegele and/or Fast scores tonite. All 3 have been so very close the last 2 games.

Have been thinking the same thing today. Hope one(Or more) of them gets payoff for all grinding the past stretch. Trocheck too. He’s due for a tip in.

"The home finale of the 2020-21 regular season features a third straight match-up between the Carolina Hurricanes and Chicago Blackhawks.


The Match-Up

Chicago Blackhawks (22-25-6, 50 points) vs. Carolina Hurricanes (36-10-7, 79 points)

Thursday, May 6, 7 p.m.

Watch: Bally Sports South, Bally Sports app

Listen: 99.9 FM The Fan, Hurricanes.com/Listen, Hurricanes app

Tracking the Storylines

There's No Place Like Home: This marks the Canes' 28th and final home game of the regular season. The team has posted a remarkable 20-3-4 record at PNC Arena this season, an .815 points percentage that is bested only by the New York Islanders (20-3-3, .827). The Canes are 4-0-0 on this five-game homestand, and, no matter the opponent, the First Round of the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs will open at PNC Arena.

Star Fish: The Central Division's Star of the Month for April has continued to put points on the scoresheet in May. Sebastian Aho is riding a season-long, nine-game point streak, during which he's recorded 17 points (6g, 11a). Only Connor McDavid has recorded more points (19) since April 20.

High IQ: When he returned to the lineup on April 27 in Dallas, Teuvo Teravainen was reunited on a line with Aho and Andrei Svechnikov. In the five games since, that dynamic trio has combined for 26 points (9g, 17a). Svechnikov has also tallied at least a point in each of those five games (2g, 7a)."

You forgot to mention the Marley Girl will be cranking on the siren tonite. Hope they let her rehearse/practice, that pair could get in the way and you know what they say... "It's all fun & games until someone loses an eye."

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
