The TT goal line save was insane, but Slavin's sliding save at the goal was just as ridiculous.

Both of those are highlight quality for the rest of the season.

The best part is those are goals we let through during our slump. But our defensive play is back to 1st 10 game form making saves like that when our goalie is out of position. We really need to get back to the US though and get Pesce & TDA in the game so Slavin can stop doing 30 minute games. I know Slavin is a beast but this ice time is gonna wear on him.

I read this morning that Slavin set a personal record for ice time the other night with 29+ minutes of ice time, only to break his own record last night by going 32+ minutes.

Not only did the Canes survive 2 difficult games, but they're doing it without of 2 of their top 4 defensemen.

Glad Tripp finally called out the officiating last night. Not sure anyone other than local watchers will have seen it, but he was spot on. The Canes are among the league leaders in puck possession time, yet they're also one of the most penalized teams. How does that work unless the refs are just going out of their way to scrutinize the Canes more than other teams? How does KK catch a 2-minute for cross checking and after he took a legitimate hit, yet Slavin doesn't get the call when he did the same thing and got cross checked a couple times in retaliation?

Calgary had 5 power plays last night. 4 of them were nerve-wracking as hell. Only 1 did Carolina seem to handle with ease.

Let's be honest, Calgary had the same puck luck last night the Canes experienced during their short losing streak. No bounces went their way and they had more than a couple open chances last night.

I leave you with my highlight of the night (Aho's OT winner aside). Watch this Slavin/Aho save when Anderson got caught out of position.

I don’t even understand what Freddie is doing there. It’s like his brain just seized up after he was out of position.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!

      You do know the biggest military base in the US is located just an hour from Raleigh in Fort Bragg right? Military families are family oriented. A hour drive to games is nothing compared to traveling 3 hours to Charlotte.   Cmon man there is nothing happening in Western Carolina other than Charlotte. I only go west for outdoor activities and some nature/mountain views.

      Okay, who is coming. And how hard is it going to be to get tickets? I’m currently living in Germany a couple hours north of Munich. Happy to help facilitate a cheaper experience for help getting tickets lol.
