Hurricanes VS Canucks game thread

Trying to secure some tickets to the Capitals game, but at this rate don't know if I want to lol. Last time I saw the Capitals/Hurricanes in October we got smashed.

Is that the home opener?

I believe it is. Too lazy to check. Pretty sure if it's not the opener, it is the 2nd home game. I think a home game will do wonders for confidence. We have one of the best fan bases in the NHL. But, if they really want to sell that game out and have a loud home ice, they have to win a couple games going into it.

O'Sullivan was ripping shots though. Ruutu as well. Staal really didn't do much of anything. Sutter played an average game for him, minus getting points. Ward needs his D to play better on Tuesday to boost his confidence a bit.

This is what happens when you are young. I said this before. You can certainly play very well, but you can certainly drop some games. This is the first game where we have just been flat out-played. I expect to see a lot of ups and downs....especially on road trips.

Good points. I just hate seeing us getting blown out. I don't mind us getting outplayed and losing by a goal or 2. But 5-1 is just anal rape.

I kinda expected this against the tough Canucks. No biggie.

Yep it really is. The good thing about these big losses is you get a lot of learning points. They are ugly and you hate to see them, but a lot of good can come from them. I expect the young guys to learn and bounce back next game. I just hope the learning points stick in their heads and don't fade to where they need to relearn them.
