PREVIOUS MEETINGS THIS SEASON

  • Thursday, January 5: The Canes posted a franchise record of 67 shots, but Jusse Saros stopped 64 of them, guiding Nashville to a 5-3 victory.

 

NEWS & NOTES

Last Time Out: Carolina got off to a good start Tuesday against Ottawa, taking a 2-0 first-period lead. Brady Skjei, Jesperi Kotkaniemi, and Stefan Noesen each earned a point on both goals and Antti Raanta looked like a goaltender that had earned a point in 16 consecutive decisions. Ottawa was the better team in the second and third periods though, crawling back into the contest and eventually forcing the 22nd overtime of the season for Carolina. But in the end, Martin Necas had another game-winner on his stick, pushing the home team to a 3-2 victory.

In Net: Rod Brind'Amour said pre-game Sunday that the plan is for the Canes to rotate their goalies for the rest of the regular season. With Antti Raanta having earned the victory on Tuesday against the Senators, it is expected that Frederik Andersen will have the nod tonight. "Freddie" stopped 21 out of 22 on Sunday against the New York Islanders and is 20-9-1 on the season.

Shooting For Three: Carolina is 44-4-5 when scoring three goals or more this season.

Get The First One: Carolina is now 38-5-4 when scoring the first goal of the game. Only the Bruins (40) have more wins when earning the contest's first tally.

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

"Carolina is 44-4-5 when scoring three goals or more this season."

This also means Carolina is 6-14-4 if they can't put 3 goals on the board.

"Carolina is now 38-5-4 when scoring the first goal of the game."

And, this also means Carolina is 12-13-5 when they don't score first.

      It may not be exact science and this FO is relatively new, but it is very much likely the first couple picks will be of players we met.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      The only other position group I could think of is ILB since Dan was there for Rodriguez and Hill Jr. pro days in Texas. It’s one of the reasons I get the feeling ILB could be the pick at 19.

      Nobody is saying we don't need it, just that we have bigger needs elsewhere, and that type of WR is actually something that is often found in the mid rounds, you just have to scout and evaluate properly. Here's another way of looking at why WR in the 1st shouldn't even be considered an option. Looking only at players currently on the team, what position group would you feel strongest about 4 years from now? I'm not sure there is a better answer there than WR, as you have to think T-Mac is our best player on the team in 4 years (Brown is the only current player I think there is even an argument to be made over T-Mac there), with Coker not far behind. Our OL is too old to be considered, my opinions on Bryce is well known, Hubbard will be done by then and the rest of the RB is an unknown, Off-ball LB is maybe our biggest need, we only have 1 legit safety, it's certainly not TE, and our 2nd best CB right now will be 33 by then.   Brown should still be a beast as he'll only be 31, but nobody else on the DL projects to be that good in 4 years.  Edge rusher with Phillips, Scourton, and Princely is probably the only other possible answer than WR. So yes, that fast/shifty type of WR is 100% a need of ours, but we have so many other bigger needs both in the immediate and future, that to me, taking a WR in the 1st for the 3rd year in a row and having hit on another WR in the same time frame, just makes zero sense both currently and looking into the future.
