3/3 Game Day Thread: Canes @ Caps Puck Drop 7PM

Recommended Posts

No Bally TV tonite as the Canes are on national TV (ESPN+ or HULU).

Last Time Out: Despite a third period go-ahead goal by Jordan Staal with just 3:48 remaining, Dylan Larkin had a response for Detroit just 35 seconds later, forcing overtime. Although Lucas Raymond scored on the power play with just eight seconds to go in the extra frame, Antti Raanta was remarkable for Carolina all evening long. The Finnish netminder made 37 stops, his most in any outing since joining the team.

Ten For Turbo: Teuvo Teravainen moved his current point streak to nine games in the contest against the Red Wings, now recording 12 points since February 10 in Boston. It is the longest point streak by any Hurricane this season.

At Home On The Road: Carolina enters tonight's contest 18-7-3 on the road. The 18 wins away from home are tied with Pittsburgh for the most by any team in the NHL.

Trouble In The Capital: Washington enters tonight having lost three in a row and six in a row at home. Columbus is now just eight points behind them for the fourth spot in the Metropolitan Division, and also has a game in hand.

100 For Quickie: Jesper Fast is set to play in his 100th game as a member of the organization tonight. Signed to a three-year contract in October of 2020, the right-handed winger also enters tonight with points in four of his last five games.

Down The Middle: Sebastian Aho and Vincent Trocheck both enter this evening with more than a point-per-game in their careers against Washington. #20 has 18 points in 17 meetings and "Tro" enters with 17 points in 15 contests.

Good On The Front Nine: The Canes begin a back-to-back tonight, with a matchup against the Penguins on Friday looming. Through eight sets of two games in two nights, Carolina is 6-1-1 thus far this season in the opening affair.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

Milestone Watch:  Derek Stepan is one point shy of 500 for his NHL career.

No line-ups as I'm posting this. I'm on the road this afternoon and not sure if I'll be able to catch the game tonite.

    • In 2025 Sam Darnold had over 1k more passing yards than Bryce Young on 1 less pass attempt. Repeat that to yourself several times and let it sink in. I absolutely love it when people come on here and invoke Sam Darnold like some gotcha. Darnold is the physical prototype for what anyone needs in a franchise QB. All the physical tools. Few people thought he would put it all together on the mental side of the position. He used to make some of the worst decisions you would ever see. At times in the past he made up for that with absurd throws and athleticism. But make no mistake whatsoever no matter how you feel about our starting QB. Bryce Young is a completely opposite conundrum. He lacks virtually any and all physical tools and athleticism and his elite processing is really mediocre at best on a good day and horrific on a bad day. These are realities people should have already been addressing instead of quadrupling down in year four.
    • The nice thing about the timing of Bryce's contract at least is that it's going to match up with the 2027 Draft Class. No excuses, he either becomes Rams 2nd half Bryce year long, or we draft his replacement.  Nothing wrong with carrying Bryce on his 5th year expiring and a 1st round rookie waiting in the wings. Let the rookie sit until the trade deadline, deal Bryce to a needy team at the time, profit. 
    • Yeah they were bad QBs - but QB's that stayed on their teams for several years.  BY is better than all of those.
