3/13 Canes @ Pittsburgh 1PM Puck Drop

[Anybodyhome]

Who in their right mind thinks less than 24 hours between games is a good idea? WTF, NHL?

As a result of this scheduling joke, the Pens are favored today.

Looks like Raanta in net today while the rest of the lineup remains intact from yesterday.

Last Time Out: A tight, grind-it-out-type game between the Canes and Flyers was decided with 3:50 to go in regulation, when Jordan Martinook tipped home the game-winning goal. Derek Stepan earned his 500th career point in his 800th NHL game in the affair, while Frederik Andersen made 28 saves in his return from injury.

In The Crease: With Andersen having started yesterday, it would make sense for Antti Raanta to be the projected starter today. Raanta has started and won both of his team's games against the Penguins this season. Making 31 and 24 stops respectively, the 32-year-old earned his 100th NHL victory in the first outing, which came in Pittsburgh. In the more recent outing, Raanta shut the door over the final 49:21, turning away all 14 stops faced during that stretch.

At Home On The Road: The Canes 18 (18-8-3) wins away from PNC Arena this season ranked tied for second in the NHL. Only Pittsburgh has more with their 19.

Holy poo Raanta is on his game early. That was like Lightning.

[Harbingers]

We are firing on all cylinders. Holy poo.

Team looks gassed 

[Harbingers]

And of course the defense has a complete breakdown. Ugh

Nobody but Slavin left in front of the net. Everyone else looking for the clear, weak, late in the period goal.

We look like ass today. Didn’t expect a win honestly 

[Lets go get it Canes]

Did hear correctly that we have the 25th ranked power play?  One of the worst in the league?

[Anybodyhome]

You can see they're tired and, after the first 10 minutes of adrenalin, there's not much left in the tank.

Puck luck is not on our side. Not that we are getting many high danger chances.

Boom!  That’s 1!
