Chicago Blackhawks (36-19-9) vs Carolina (36-27-5)

8:30 PM EST FSC

Carolina coming off their 5th win in a row, and a shutout none the less, against the Rangers are facing off against a western conference playoff team while the Canes sit at 8th in the east. Ward and the Staal line have been great as of late.

Get ready to see Patrick Kane and Toews along with an old friend Ladd as Ruutu faces off against his old team.

Ward will be in net for Canes

Prediction:

4-2 Canes win

is it just me, or is Cam Ward horrible in shoot outs?

he was starting to do better, he shut out all three players in the last one and was pretty decent in the one before. But yea generally speaking he hasn't been too good at it. That being said, he was the reason we even got to that shootout. He made some freaking amazing saves down the stretch to keep it close.

If you noticed in the shootout, minus the first shot that went five-hole, Cam knew where each shot was going and he played them all great he just missed the puck. The fact that we came out of this game with one point is a big step forward for this team. 6 weeks ago this was a game that the canes stood no chance to be in. They are playing much different hockey this time of the year and its going to make the difference come playoff time. Great game tonight guys. Just make sure you punish Dallas tomorrow night.

I completely agree with you, I was just noticing, besides the 2 shootouts before this, he seems to have trouble. I'm not arguing that he isn't a great game goalie, I just noticed he seems to struggle in shootouts.

    • Yuck.  I still kind of like Herbert but these playoff performances are rough....
    • I feel like this was the case with River and McDermott defenses as well, we just had the jimmies and the joes to overcome these deficiencies with all pro players at edge and linebacker positions.  Even then, was extremely frustrated in 2015 when we'd let team come back from 20+ pt deficits playing prevent only to barely win at the end. 
    • We need to move on soon and just use Bryce as a bridge to find our next guy. I'd like to see how this offense works with Canales hand picking his own guy. Bryce holds this offense back a lot considering you draft the first pick to carry your team and be your best player. We invested heavily for Bryce and need everything to go right just to have him look like a solid game manager sometimes. When he plays well he can look decent or mid, but when he plays bad he looks like a bottom 5 qb in league (backups included). It's not worth it, especially if we need to pay him soon, which means we have to skimp all over the roster. If the defenses don't hand it to us on a silver platter Atlanta style then we struggle big time. Defenses don't respect the offense at all. With Cam we could have the worst offensive talent and I'd still think we had a shot in any game we played. If Bryce is facing a 3rd and 10 I pretty much wave the white flag and don't think we can make that first down.
