Canes vs islanders Game 2 Tuesday

[MillionDollarCam]

It’ll be interesting to see who the Canes call up… Stromwell, Rees, or Ponomarev.

Outside chance that they could also call up Dzingel.

Does anyone know when Turbo went out? They didn’t call a penalty on that slash that broke his hand.

I noticed toward the end of the third that Drury took a couple shifts with Aho.

I am curious to see how Drury does with some continual time on the Aho line. I really like Drury. 
 

Speaking of newish players I really like Noesen’s game. He’s gritty.

So is he out for the ‘series’ or is he done? Probably done I’d imagine. What a shirt run if injures. Don’t want to hear poo from crying NYI fans.

Pretty sure he’s lost for the season or at least a couple series depending how far Canes go, I think Rod said he would have surgery for repairs to the hand.

We win this series but I have little hope after that. No Svech, TT, or patches. Those are 33% of our projected top-6 and maybe more depending on how you feel about Kase. My expectations are gone.

Glad we got the W but Turbo is a big loss. Now down basically an entire top line with him, Patches and Svech out. I think we can handle it with next man up for the remainder of this series but after that is going to be a really tall task. I won't count them out but at this point with injuries I view it as we're basically playing with house money. Any more success from this point is just a cherry on top but I have no expectations of a long run unfortunately. Just bad injury luck this year.

[DavidEng]

Agree but it’s the NHL. Don’t count on it.

Boy the Islander fans are screaming bloody murder on a missed high stick call in overtime against Martinook. They are stating that the refs gifted us this game. The islanders came to play physical and punish Carolina, 54 hits says a lot. Pesce, Aho were cut, and Turbo broke a hand. Funny how fandom changes how you process facts. The Islanders should have been called for at least 2 or 3 more PPs and maybe even a major on the Staal hit. I hope we can at least steal one game in NY, if so I feel good about moving on. However, the Rags will play just as heavy, it is why NJ will not win their series.

Maybe instead of crying while the puck is live they should play hockey. They literally have up the OT winner because they would rather cry to the red. fug ‘em.

Since bunting got 3 games, the player that hit Staal last night should definitely get 2. 

[KillerKat]

Yeah Rod is upset over losing Turbo, I am too, but we had a chance to alleviate situations like this and chose not to. Injuries happen, especially during the playoffs when things are more chippy. Too bad our GM didnt understand this or take it into consideration at the trade deadline.

Just win game 3. In game 4, at the puck drop, beat the living crap out of whoever is in front of you (make sure King Kooch is in goal, he looks like he would enjoy smacking folks around). Take all the penalties, win game 5 at home.
