I'll be there tonight as well.

Did anyone notice a stat Bally put up that showed Nashville is leading the league in hits and that the Canes are DEAD LAST in hits - hope not being physical enough won't come back and bite us in the playoffs like it did last year.

I did see this last night and there are a couple different thoughts I have, mostly I think the Canes brand of hockey would suffer if they were to become a much more physical team. Teams try to slow the Canes down by making hits and getting physical, and there are rare occasions when that happens. But, for the most part, the Canes are better when they're getting up and down the ice, not laying hits in the defensive zone- it only slows down the opportunities for breaks and getting behind the D.

That being said, Waddell did bring Orlov, TDA, Bunting and Lemieux in to be those guys that would provide some sandpaper to the roster. And the one who shows it better than any of those guys? Noesen.

I think he's on short notice tonight. If tonight's game gets out of hand and his goaltending is the reason, I don't think RBA will wait to pull him.

After tonight, 3 on the road in Toronto, Rags and Washington. Canes needed last night's 2 points, another 2 tonight and at least 3 of the next 6 points available on the road, although 2 wins would be okay with me. 

Another back-to-back next Friday-Saturday (@ Washington, come home for St. Louis).
