With 4 points separating us, Buffalo, and the Rangers, this is a crucial win tonight. The Rangers face the Islanders tonight and if somehow they could lose, and we win our game tonight in Buffalo we could be in a good position to get back in the real thick of it all and get ourselves a seed. Go Canes, and for tonight, Go Islanders!

I'm content with that first period. Not overly excited, but it was a pretty good one. Our PP problems, at least in the first 2 we had so far, is that we don't seem to HAVE any plays. Its just free-wheeling, which is fine even strength. But with a man-advantage, you have to have some passing plays that are designed to get guys open. On the one where Buffalo blocked like, 3 straight shots because we had NO separation, that was because we're just free-wheeling. 3 or 4 designed passes and shoot. Get guys open!

Sutter's goal was exactly what we needed morale-wise. We have been getting to the net most of the night. For something to finally come from it is huge. Miller is hot tonight, so we have to keep getting shots on him.

22 shots on Cam in 1 period...not good. 3 of those shots came on bad line changes. That is coaching. Mo needs to know better. I'd rather us turn it over on a dump into the offensive zone than let them skate it in easily on a line change from the neutral zone. The rest is a combination of our backside defenders just STANDING there and Buffalo being really aggressive in the zone.

We need to ratchet it down a bit defensively and keep being aggressive offensively. Staal, Skinner, and Sutter are all looking like gold right now. Ruutu is hustling his ass off as well.

Good win. A lesser goalie and we end up with 3 goals I think. Miller was on tonight, we just kept plugging away. Ward stood on his head a couple times and made some good saves (and a lot of saves). We need to do exactly what we did tonight...except being shitty on the PP. God we are awful.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
