Recommended Posts

Get Pucks On (And Through): In addition to their penalty kill, one area that the Islanders really excelled in Friday was blocking shots. They were credited with 28 over the course of 60 minutes. Tonight the Canes will be tasked with finding more lanes, specifically from the blue line, if they want to have success.

1100 & Some History For Staal: Carolina Captain Jordan Staal will play in his 1100th NHL game tonight. He is set to become just the third member of the 2006 draft class to reach the milestone, joining Phil Kessel and Milan Lucic. This evening will also be the 669th game of Staal's career with the Canes, passing Cam Ward for the fourth-most since the franchise relocated to Raleigh.

Shooting Star: Despite being held off the scoresheet in Friday night's defeat, Andrei Svechnikov's seven goals this season remain tied for second league-wide. Only Connor McDavid (8) has more.

Strong In The Dot: Paul Stastny started the season playing on the left wing of Staal and Jesper Fast. He's since moved to centering a line that also features Derek Stepan and Stefan Noesen. Since being back in the middle he's won 70.8% of his faceoffs, tops among all NHL centers that have taken at least 20 draws.

Give Me That: Defenseman Jaccob Slavin has 13 takeaways through seven games this year, tied for second in the NHL. Since the start of the 2015-16 season, his rookie year, no defenseman in the league has more (492).

Injury Report: Defenseman Calvin de Haan (day-to-day) has not played in either of the team's last two games. Forward Ondrej Kase remains out of the lineup and in concussion protocol since October 13.

On The Other Side: Under the guidance of new Head Coach John Torterella, Tony DeAngelo and the Philadelphia Flyers have had a hot start to their season. They've allowed just 17 goals in seven games and starting netminder Carter Hart has registered a save percentage of .947 in his five starts. Forward Kevin Hayes leads the group with 10 points in seven contests. Defenseman Ivan Provorov ranks third in the NHL with his 29 blocked shots.

It would be very concerning if we came out looking bad again tonight. Happy to see us be more assertive and look like a playoff team. 

Hate to break it to you but Burns is total ass under Rod. Doesn’t play defense at all. Turns it over.  Canes aren’t a good hockey team. I’m definitely not impressed.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
