Ottawa Senators (32-30-10) vs Carolina Hurricanes(40-28-7) 7:00 PM EST FSC

The final seven games remain and the Canes are sitting in 5th in the east. The hottest team in hockey right now, Ottawa, has no shot the make the playoffs. The canes are on a winning streak at home and I don't expect that to end tonight. The Canes have lost both games in regulation to the Sens this year.

Ward will be in net.

Prediction:

Canes win 3-2.

Florida is done... I hope they can pull out the miracle and beat the flyers, but it looks like they are done. Pittsburgh there gonna win tonight, but again with this win tonight there chasing us now. I want to see us go for fourth though. If we can get home advantage... were starting to become lethal at home. Also I was a lll worried at the start of the third but once we tied it... I knew we would win. Its great to know that we can beat even the most desperate and hottest team in the nhl!!! Lets go kill the devils!!! Go Canes!

We are in 5th place 3pts up from 6th one point behind philly but they have 4 more games than we do

I thought it was a very physical game with sloppy skating and puck handling..But i rather win ugly than lose pretty anyday

Do we have bad ice at the RBC??? Saw alot of players falling down and the puck taking funny bounces on the tv tonite...If only been to one game at the rbc so i cant be for sure ...

Good point. Usually we are reknowned for having one of the better surfaces in the NHL, but the last 5 or 6 games Ive watched from the RBC the ice has seemed choppy as hell.

We looked great in the third, Cam is really stepping up his game and cementing his reputation as a money goaltender. I was one of the few calling for his head earlier this season but he has since shut me up in quick order. With how we are playing right now I sure as hell wouldn't want to play us in the playoffs. We are clicking at the right time and we have experience...GO CANES!!

I used to go to nearly every home game when I lived in Raleigh, and it was always easy to tell when another event had been going on. The ice was perfect if there was nothing else there, but if there was a basketball game or something around the same time, it would always have trouble.

Not sure what else is going on in Raleigh, but that would be my guess.

This team is retarded hot right now. Passing Philadelphia is now a reality. We're one point behind them, and they lost tonight.

Unfortunately, we play arguably the best team in the East on Saturday. (NJ)

They play the Islanders... :lol:

I guess anything can happen.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
