Interesting? Guess they are bored before game time?

Perhaps. Interesting to hear their perspectives. The thinking is this one won’t go to OT and Mike says he expects an empty net goal kind of game and Canes need to get on the board first (of course).

I’m assuming cause last change matchups. We need to score often is the critical part.

Yep, they talked about needing rotation movement on the PP and having guys in front of Bobs eyes on shot attempts to blind him and put in rebounds.

I hope the Canes get this thing back on track. I have a very long post Im going to make if we lose in the ECF concerning Waddell if we dont. He talked big, we better win it all.

I don't think this is a blow up everything event. We were missing some extremely key pieces and like it or not, we still don't have an elite goalie. 

Bobrovsky has been the difference, without a question. Our margins are smaller against FL and he is playing elite, which he has been capable of in his career.

Good luck boys. We are due some puck luck tonight, rebounds to our guys, no post or bar shots, converting breakaways. Aho on the board and will have a big game.

going to watch but my expectations are nonexistent. this was honestly the year despite the injuries and my frustration is more aimed at just getting goalied by a god named bob.

Yep. Though I will admit on face value I was not thrilled with the Max move(we should have pulled a kucherov with him in this instance). There was plenty of other scheme players out there that weren’t temporarily crippled. Everyone expects us to get a big scorer and that will fix everything. In rods scheme it won’t. We don’t rely on 1-2 guys, Rod is a by committee guy. Most likely a big score would come in here and his numbers would drop substantially because he’d be expected to do a lot more than score. That’s just a truth.

Interesting line rushes in warm ups.

Noesen - Aho - Jarvis

MacEachern - Kotkaniemi - Teravainen

Drury - Staal - Necas

Martinook - Stastny - Fast

To be fair to Max, he wasn’t hurt when the trade was made. He tore his Achilles during a summer skate. I will say that he is injury prone though.

Those are weird as fug. But considering we don’t get last change it makes sense, especially the 4 line. I would still drop Jarvis to 2 and TT up to Aho to generate offense though.

I’m not saying anything against max. Just saying I don’t think his trade was all that it should be from a GM perspective. We basically paid Vegas 7M+tips for an aging guy to fix their cap issue. It was reactionary on wadells part.
