Canes vs Leafs


Recommended Posts

I want to see Carolina dominate this game from beginning to end. I want to see 200' of hockey tonight. I want 2 points tonight.

Last Time Out: The second half of a weekend back-to-back did not go the way of the Canes, as Pittsburgh earned their first victory over Carolina this season. Brett Pesce scored on his way to a career-high seven shots on goal and Sebastian Aho scored in the third period for a third straight game, but ultimately it was a pair of empty net goals that pushed the Penguins to the 4-2 final.

In The Crease: Frederik Andersen will start tonight against his former club. Rod Brind'Amour said that it was his turn when speaking to reporters on Wednesday, so not a whole lot of thought needed to go into the situation. This will be Andersen's first time playing in Toronto with more than a crowd of 500, which was the case back on February 7 when Carolina traveled to Scotiabank Arena for the first time. Opposite Andersen will be rookie Erik Källgren, who recorded a 35-save shutout in his first NHL start on Tuesday over Dallas.

100 For Stevie: Steven Lorentz is set to play in his 100th NHL game tonight. Lorentz has already played in a career-high 54 games at the highest level this season and is in his second season with the club.

At Home On The Road: Carolina's 18 (18-9-3) wins away from PNC Arena this season ranked tied for second in the NHL.

Go Fish: Sebastian Aho enters tonight with point in five straight games and goals in three straight games.

Good Through The End: The Canes have a +33 goal differential in third periods thus far this season. With that being the best in the NHL, Carolina has outscored their opponents 74-41 in the last 20 minutes of games.

#88 Against Toronto: Having played the Maple Leafs four times in his career, Martin Necas has earned seven points in those meetings. With three goals and four assists, the third-year pro picked up an assist in the February 7 get together.

Red On The Road: Toronto will be wearing their white St. Pats uniforms in honor of the St. Patrick's Day holiday tonight, so the Canes will be wearing red on the road for the first time this season.

A Look At The Other Side: Toronto is 6-3-1 in their last ten games. Their 21 wins on home ice rank fourth in the NHL. They'll be without leading scorer Auston Matthews tonight, who is serving the second game in his two-game suspension.

    • I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.

    • No they are going to give Claudin Cherelus 2 spots.
