Game 1: Lightning @ Canes


Liminy

Recommended Posts

This Friday, October 7th, the TB Lightning will come into the RBC center to begin the NHL regular season against the Carolina Hurricanes. After a disappointing preseason in which the Canes came away with only 1 win (against Winnipeg) The Hurricanes need to come out with a chip on their shoulder to show everyone that they are better than that, and that they haven't forgotten about missing the playoffs last year. I am so ready for the regular season to start and can't wait to watch the Canes in action. Game time is at 7ET.

Canes win 4-3.

I'd like to have seen Murphy break the roster, but I guess that was wanting too much. Guess he has all season to do so. I'm not sure on the current lines, I think they will be shifted around quite a bit the first few months...

Actually looked again, its changed since the other day.

Should be interesting, looks like Murphy did make the roster, just not on a line currently. (Though that may be the standard 9 days to decide rule or whatever it is)

Kinda wish Kaberle and Pitkanen were swapped. I'd love to see Gleason and Kaberle on a line.

And I honestly like the offensive lines, Stewart adds some size to the Skinner/Ruutu line. I'm not certain how Dalpe made the top line, but I can't wait to see whatever it is they see in him.

    • well, players dictating things only works if you have the right collection of players to dictate things.  and in all honesty, not sure if we can answer if we do or don't as fans given......there are no Thomas Davis types around that we know are actually about X and Y (based on years showing it).  Collective team is too new to us to know what these dudes are really about in terms of players carrying the burden of culture. 
    • Moore can be put in one of the vet spots on IR. No one will be checking for him at the start of the season. But I would be very perturbed if we tried to go all Gettlemagic and stash an obvious talent like Horn on practice squad like we did Butker. If we can get through this year, next year it will be obvious Moore and AT will be gone, starting namely with AT's contract.  
    • Culture change comes from the top down, not from drafting a 3 and no D guard. I doubt Lamelo is gonna take his cues from this 20yr old kid lol. If Brandon Miller couldn’t change the culture with how good he is and how much he hustles on both ends, Kon Knueppel sure as hell ain’t changing it. Ace Bailey by all accounts is also a great teammate and hard worker, btw, who was drafted by a team he supposedly didn’t want to go to yet he immediately bought in. And he’s got actual length and tools on both ends of the floor. I feel this pick is going to age like milk rather quickly.
