Following a heartbreaking loss to the Zebras in OT, the storm falls on The City That Fun Forgot. It's cute that they want to be American so bad that they named their team after the shittiest part of our national government. fuging dorks!

Our Canadian Caper may not have gotten off to the best start last night in Toronto, but look for us to get right tonight in Government City!

Annti up in net tonight...

Lil Bear back in the lineup...

Fingers crossed for a Turbo boost!

Game notes

  • The Hurricanes are 3-2-1 in the back half of a back-to-back this year, while Ottawa is 3-4-1 in that situation.
  • If Raanta does indeed start for the Hurricanes, he’ll do so with a milestone on the line; his next victory will be his 100th NHL win.
  • The Hurricanes are 59-37-8-5 all time against the Senators, with a 25-24-4-3 record in Ottawa.
  • This is the third and final meeting between the Hurricanes and Senators this regular season. The Sens picked up a 3-2 regulation win in Raleigh on Dec. 2, while the Hurricanes won a 3-2 shootout contest in Ottawa Jan. 27.
  • Ian Cole brings a three-game assist streak into tonight’s matchup.
  • The Hurricanes are 15-5-2 on the road this season, with the highest road points percentage (.727) in the NHL.

We are the far superior team tonight, so I would expect us to play this close.

It's not us playing down to the competition. It is Coach Rod making sure our cardio is up to snuff as fans. These nailbiters against bottom feeder teams are the conditioning we need to cheer this team on for a deep playoff run!

Raanta is not it. We gotta trade. I wanted to believe but I just can’t. And we can’t ride Freddie for all 40+ games plus playoffs. 

I’d happily give up Raanta and 2 firsts to Vancouver for Thatcher. Or really what ever they are asking(pick or prospect wise).

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
