That’s 7 straight games with a point.

Final:

CANES 3 - Fishermen 0

Goal 1 - Stastny (1) from Svechnikov (11) and Skjei (6)

Goal 2 - Kotkaniemi (3) from Burns (16) and Necas (17)

Goal 3 - Staal (7) from Martinook (7) and Noesen (9)

Kochetkov - Shutout

Canes are going to have a chance to catch New Jersey over the next 10 games.

Seven of the next ten games for the Devils are against the Ranger, Stars, Canes (x2), Bruins (x2), and Penguins… that’s a rough schedule for them.

I told y’all. Give it tiiiiiime. Rod the got damn bod and Koochie can’t be touched.

That game wasn’t close. Canes just dropped a hammer.

fug yeah. Best win of the year.  

In NHL 22, Anderson is the same goalie as last season, so his rating is reminiscent of that time. I also play with injuries off, so no worries there lol. Anyway, I just traded him today to Calgary for goalie Dustin Wolf, a 1st and a 3rd lol. I think we should be able to get a 3rd for him to a goalie needed team. Maybe a player as well, but idk about the same value as I did. Wolf is a medium Elite potential in the game xD

Team will be healthy come the new year and that’s when we’ll see who we are. For reference, the year that the Blues won the Cup, they were in last place in January. They found their identity in the new year and went on a massive run to make the playoffs and ultimately win the Cup.

It’ll be fun to see what we look like when everyone is healthy.

After tonight, Kochetkov’s save percentage should be in the top 10 and his GAA should be in the top 3.

We’ve got our number one guy now and for the long road ahead.

[USDepartmentOfSavagery]

Team objectively plays harder for Kochetkov. It’s blatantly obvious and tonight was just total domination. A lot of guys stepped up. 
 

p.s. patches and Kase will be back soon. We are only going to get better.

[cookinbrak]

That was a woodshed game. Across the board, total domination.

[USDepartmentOfSavagery]

We haven’t had a regulation loss in 11 games straight now. Those stretch of OT losses were frustrating, notably MIN who we let score with less than a minute left and then win in OT, but those points are priceless. We have played the 2nd most road games in the league behind only Arizona and as @MillionDollarCamnoted, have several home games coming up. I think we will catch and pass NJD eventually as they come back to earth, but Pitt is looking like a da heroes team.

I’m going to shout out Martinook, he’s got 14 points in 27 games and is on pace for 42 points this year (including 21 goals), just two off of what Nino put up last year on Staal’s wing.

It’s going to be interesting to see what the Canes look like when fully healthy, lots of options and bodies but a limited amount of spots.

Forwards: Aho, Necas, Svechnikov, Pacioretty, Jarvis, Teravainen, Martinook, Noesen, Kotkaniemi, Staal, Fast, Stastny, Drury, Kase, Stepan (15)

Defenseman: Slavin, Burns, Skjei, Pesce, de Haan, Chatfield, Lajoie, Coghlan (8)

Goalies: Kochetkov, Andersen, Raanta (3)

26 players and only 23 spots. I assume Drury will go back down and only one of Lajoie/Coghlan will stay up (at all times). I’m not sure what they’ll do with that last spot.
