Also, Martin is pretty good if the defense is doing anything.

Defense was not that good last night. However, if they can clean up some terrible offensive zone clears and bad defense(from offensive players too) they will be unbeatable. 
 

I said this last night to my wife at the game, the only team that can beat the canes this year is the canes.  Stay out of box, know when to pinch, don’t get caught flat footed, and clear the damn puck.

Specifically, clearing pucks toward an unprotected area in the middle of the ice (Brent Burns). Giving up 2 very late goals in both the 1st and 2nd period, both on breakaways after poor puck handling decisions.

Spencer Martin? Remember his first start this season, how he looked fairly smooth and calm in net? He has become more frantic in his movement and he's giving up goals high... almost all of them. He plays small. He's not playing big in the crease and he's giving away the top half of the net. I don't know if you can fix that.

Other than that, it was a great night at the LC. Dinner in the arena club was good, got into the store before the doors opened and had enjoyed having my good friend join me last night as the wife was unable to attend. I have the tickets and he picked up the dinner tab.

Oh yeah, and the fugging Rags lost. Liked Stormy doing the "Dodgers in Five" sign with "NY SUX" on the other side. Also liked the big screen after the game with the "Traffic alert- expect delays from all the Ranger fans exiting toward Cary," or something like that.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
