I thought we could go ahead and get things started for tonight's game since it may draw some more visitors to the hockey forum (hopefully). As everyone knows, the Rangers won their game today verses the Devils to retake control of the 8th seed in the Eastern Conference Playoffs. However, if the Canes win they will overtake the Rangers and secure the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

The Canes have been on a roll for quite a while as they are 8-1-1 in their last 10 games and the only regulation loss came at the hands of the Lightning in the RBC Center. The Canes are looking for revenge in the biggest fashion possible tonight.

Cam Ward has been superb and Erik Cole, Jeff Skinner, and Eric Staal have the Canes in position to shock the hockey world.

Mike Smith looks to be the choice in goal for the Lightining, defenseman Victor Hedman is doubtful for the Lightning tonight, and defenseman Randy Jones is out for tonight. The only injury for the Canes is Jay Harrison who is still day to day with a lower body injury. However, since this game is essentially meaningless for the Lightning, Boucher may opt to rest some of his veterans. Both teams are coming off of a win last night yet the Lightning's 4-2 victory over the Panthers was a little more difficult than Carolina's 6-1 victory over Atlanta. Look for the Canes to come out hot early with the home crowd behind them.

The Canes should be able to capitalize on the depleted roster of the Lightning and hopefully the Canes can get the win and return to the postseason for the first time since 2009.

LETS GO CANES

      You don’t even need 1b because Tepper is the only one foolish enough to wheel that deal.    Player wise? Jake’s elbow. JR and Pep getting sideways, no Carruth, Cam’s shoulder, Luke’s concussions, it would be a long list of stuff. You can take it down to certain plays in games. Fox chasing 2 point conversions in the SB would be on my list. RMJr slipping at the end of that same game was not helpful.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Ultimately this just amounts to heavy revisionist history. I mean you aren't talking to someone that just popped out the womb a week ago. I was here all throughout the predraft process. The overwhelming majority of the fanbase felt like this was a fine situation and the best situation for a rookie QB to go to compared to Houston for example. The hype for Young and our "rockstar" staff was off the charts. No one could dare speak cautious skepticism of his abilities or they would be neg repped into oblivion. Only after he had one of statistical worst rookie seasons of the last 25 years did we get this narrative now that his rookie season actually shouldn't count. Complete malarkey if you ask me.

      On the field? Since I guess it qualifies as multiple instances it might not count, but have the damn refs throw some flags on illegal hits to Cam's head in SB50. If that doesn't count, 1A. Cotchery caught it 1B. Kasey keeps that kickoff inbounds. Off the field? 1A. Team is sold to anyone but Tepper 1B. We have the patience not to mortgage the franchise on that Bryce trade. Stroudwpuldve been the better pick but he's not worth it either.
