I already had tickets to the game tonight when a friend called and offered their seats as they are in Greensboro for the ACC tournament. So, we've invited friends to have our seats and we will be sitting right behind Freddie Andersen's right shoulder on the glass behind net for the first and third periods. Going to arrive early and do some tailgating and catch up with friends.

-------------------------------------------------------

Last Time Out: The Canes had an atypical start Tuesday night in Montreal, struggling through the first 40 minutes. They had to overcome an early 2-0 deficit and an early injury to starting netminder Antti Raanta, but a quality third period allowed them to force overtime. After no winner was found in the team's league-leading 19th OT of the season, Jesperi Kotkaniemi earned the shootout winner in the sixth round against his former team.

Stay Hot, KK: Although his game-deciding tally doesn't count toward the total, Jesperi Kotkaniemi now has 13 points in his last 13 games. Now with 30 points on the season, he has surpassed last year's total of 29 and sits just four points shy of matching his career-high.

300!: Kotkaniemi will also be playing in his 300th NHL game. After playing his first 171 with Montreal, Wednesday will be his 129th game in a Canes sweater.

Puljujarvi's Debut Day?: After his potential team debut Tuesday in Montreal was nixed by a hold-up in the process of obtaining his work visa, Jesse Puljujarvi could be in the lineup in front of a home crowd. Standing at 6'4", 201 lbs., the right-handed shot was acquired last week from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for unsigned prospect Patrik Puistola.

Get On Them Early: The Canes have scored first a league-leading 40 games this season. They're 32-4-4 when they score first, trailing only the Boston Bruins, who have 33 wins when scoring the game's opening tally.

From The Blue Line: Carolina's defensemen have produced a league-leading 42 goals through 62 games this season.

On The Other Side: Philadelphia comes to town 2-7-1 in their last 10 games. Over the last calendar month they've scored a total of just 24 goals in 12 games, the fewest goals-per-game average of any club in the NHL. The defensive side hasn't gone much better for the club, allowing 3.92 goals per contest. Only one team in the Eastern Conference (Buffalo) is giving up more.

Looks like no Pool Party, Chatfield, or Raanta. I kind of expected that after how well the fourth line played on Tuesday.

It’ll be Pyotr’s net, de Haan will likely draw in for Chatfield, and Coghlan will have his regular seat in the press box.

 

Not sure I'm liking this. His won-loss record notwithstanding, he's not been that good and he was terrible with the Canes before he went back to Chicago.

Ditto. He’s been way too unpredictable in the past few weeks. Maybe the wolves and canes thought letting Rod get a bit of control over him could help. His game suffers and if he hasn’t fixed that 5 hole issue yet he’s not going to last long in this league.

Hes a good goalie but his weakness are easy to figure out. Svech should take him under his wing and get him level again.

Playing the Flyers gives us a chance to see with the addition of Ghost, are we still a typical 3 goal scoring team or a 4-5 goal team? If we can’t score 4-5+ goals on the Flyers we could lose with kochetkov in net. But then again he could play lights out and surprise us with his big chance.

I run a certain number of home games for our company. Our tickets are also in 110! Won't be there tonight but have several upcoming games. 

Hell yeah. Once my knee heals up and I can get back to my seats you will have to give a fist bump on the way down to yours. 

 

btw. Handicap 107 level seats aren’t bad 🍺🍺

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
