Game Notes

Congratulations to Brent Burns — when he steps out onto the ice tonight, he’ll be doing it in his 1,300th NHL game. That puts him third in the league for active skaters, behind Eric Staal, Ryan Suter, and Alex Ovechkin.

Martin Necas has been the overtime hero for the Hurricanes in two straight games, but can he do it against the Bruins if needed? He’s shockingly only faced them three times in the regular season in his career, recording one assist.

This is the second of three meetings between the Hurricanes and Bruins this season. Their previous meeting was in November, with the Hurricanes losing 3-2 in overtime.

Watch out for those third periods. The Bruins have 73 third period goals, which leads the NHL. They also allow just 31 goals in the third, which stands for the fewest in the league.

Three Hurricanes players have active scoring streaks: Brent Burns (points in four straight), Sebastian Aho (goals in three straight), and Martin Necas (goals in two straight).

For the Bruins lineup, keep an eye on Trent Frederic. He left yesterday’s game in the first period with a lower-body injury and did not return.

The Bruins are also missing Jake DeBrusk and Tomas Nosek, both of whom are out with lower-body injuries.

      It's not even a particularly nuanced opinion, yet it seems out of reach for so many.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think he can be great. For me he tops out as starter maybe make the playoffs, stuff like that. I would have been okay with that kind of player as a placeholder but you don’t invest the time and assets we did and be happy with that.  On the cure,If a guy has mechanical flaws but otherwise is enticing, you let someone else make the mistake of taking him in the top of the 1st. If he doesn’t get taken you can pick him up 2nd or 3rd day and try to develop him (off the bench not starting).  The risk/reward with Bryce was horribly misjudged. I didn’t want to trade like that in the first place because I didn’t see the generation talent that justifies that type of move, but once it was done CJ was the better gamble. No doubt.

      That's what I mean. If you claim to possess some super knowledge about the QB position from a previous non-football but football related job, wouldn't you want to expound upon that to support this "everyone doesn't know anything about being a QB" thesis? The rest is just summed up by stating that there are a lot of variables to a QB being successful. Yeah....I mean that isn't earth shattering.  While there is certainly a lot of luck involved in all manners of success, consistent success with the variables around you also changing on a regular basis is usually fairly conclusive.  Is Trent Dilfer the same as Tom Brady? Is Nick Foles the same as Patrick Mahomes? I supposed based on the OP's arguments, they are. That's not really the way it turned out, however.  The NFL isn't unlike most other jobs or even other sports. The cream typically does rise to the top on a more consistent basis. Is it accidental that premier poker players seem to win or perform very well on a consistent basis, give that any individual hand is largely luck?
