Canes vs Canucks 10:30pm

[Panthers Fan 69]

Ok folks. Last of the canes after Dark BS. Vancouver is bad. Very bad. Canes are very good. Let’s get back in the win column tonight. With a win that is 7-10 possible road trip points. I think all of us would take that if we were told that would be the case to start the year. 
 

let’s go canes!!!

They were booed off the ice on Saturday after a 5-1 thrashing at the hands of……the Sabres. They had a players only meeting after 3 games of the season……can only mean one thing as we roll into town….

Pepper their ass. Svech will bring the lumber tonight. I could see a 7-1 type of game. Or not. Let’s crush them.

Fug me… nothing like ending the trip with another 10:30 start.

[Harbingers]

Why NHL why? Can’t you at least make all the games at 9 EST so we don’t have to stay up until 1AM to watch them?

[MillionDollarCam]

Also, why are we going backwards… Vancouver is right across from Seattle yet they sent our asses to Calgary and Edmonton first and then all the way back to Vancouver… lmao.

We do need a full 3 periods of Canes hockey though. We haven’t put three together yet this year.

As someone mentioned in the other thread, 7 points from 10 on a West Coast road trip at start of the year will be good. It’s the level of performance that concerns but still early days.

Last Time Out: The Canes got off to a good start Saturday night in Calgary, establishing an early 2-0 lead. Sebastian Aho picked up his seventh point in three games with a goal just 1:44 in and Calvin de Haan contributed his first of the season to follow, but then things turned sour for the club. Calgary got a power play goal before the end of the first and completely took over the game in the second. They'd tie the contest and after Carolina could not convert on four minutes of power play time on their own inside the final seven minutes, the game needed overtime. In the bonus frame Tyler Toffoli beat Antti Raanta to seal the deal for the Flames.

Winning The Special Teams Battle: Thursday night Rod Brind'Amour and players cited special teams as the difference in the team's 6-4 defeat to the Oilers, as they gave up two on the power play and another shorthanded. Saturday the Flames went 1/4 on the man advantage, but the issue was more about what was not done as opposed to what was. Carolina went 0/4 on their opportunities, 6:00 of which came inside the final 11:36 of the third period in a tied game. To add another level of frustration, they produced just three shots in their eight minutes of work. Vancouver enters tonight dead last in the penalty kill, perhaps providing an opportunity for the Canes' man advantage to appropriately get back on the board.

So, They Are Human: After exceptional starts to the season for both Andrei Svechnikov and Martin Necas, both were held pointless on Saturday in Calgary. Svechnikov totaled eight points through the first four games of the campaign, six of them coming as goals. The six trail only Steven Stamkos of Tampa Bay for the most league-wide. For Necas, he's now got seven points in five games, a tremendous start to his bounce back year.

That was me. Keep in mind the back half of last year the canes were a pretty average hockey team. In the playoffs it showed. This team already looks much better than last year. If Burns can improve and our power-play kicks up will be just fine. We’re in a very good spot

[MillionDollarCam]

The team peaked too early last year, we wrecked everyone and all their villages in October, then trended towards being an average playoff time over the last month or so of the regular season.

Hopefully the role’s are reversed this year.

A very late start.

I took one for the team, ate Taco Bell, undefeated when I eat Taco Bell… now I just have to hope I’m in front of the tv more than I’m in the bathroom.
