Canes @ Canucks

Carolina Hurricanes (25-21-5) Vs. Vancouver Canucks (22-20-8)

10 PM EST FSC

Canes moved into the 8th and final spot of the playoffs with a 2-0 shutout win against Atlanta on Saturday. But with Florida with games in hand, the canes need to win this one with San Jose next in line.

Ward will be in net with the newly returned Luongo will most likely be in for the Canucks.

I'm liking the penalty kill lately and I expect a nice 3-1 win for the Canes.

The Canucks have been looking dreadful as of late....I watched them play Minnesota Saturday night...they were coming into the game on a 9 game home losing streak. The GM Place was a nervous wreck you could tell. They came out really flat in the 1st, went down 2-0. Then turned it around in the 2nd and 3rd forcing OT, but losing in the end. That was a much need 1 point though, it gives them something.

Sundin has been less than impressive since his return (what a chump!) but he'll get into the groove soon enough....

I like the match-up...Canes/Nucks...pretty good game to watch.

I got my Leafs against the surprising FLORIDA Panthers @ 7:30, will watch the Canes game after!!

This is Bull poo! After spending thousands to see the panthers get beaten like a red headed step child, now we have to watch Paul Maurice's B.S. skeem. Lets dump it in and see if we can score. This system sucks ass! The Detroit Red wings tried this lame as scenario for years and could never capture the cup. Once they pulled their head out of their assses they discovered that was a piss poor strategy. Then they won the cup!

Keep dumping the puck you jackasses and watch your ranking fall into the oblivion!

Christ, I feel like I am living in the 80's watching this dumb ass skeem of Maurices's stupidity!!!

The owner really picked a winner there! F'ing Idiot!

I totally agree! I was so glad when the Leafs fired that fool...I really could not take it. I honestly think though, that the Canes are going to go with Ron Francis at the end of the year. They didn't sign Maurice for longer than the rest of the year, did they??

No they did not. What is the point in the first place anyways. Put Francis in charge now! Not my first pick, but definitely 10 times better then the current status suck!

Canes lose on a shorthanded goal with around 1:30 left in the game 4-3.

Refs blew this game, the penalty on LaRose was ridiculus.

Mo is fine, he's just a short term coach anyways. And why were you not so fired up about Lavi all those years? He kept the same scheme for his entire tenure and didn't have the players to fill it.

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
