last ten:

St. Louis Blues (8-1-1)

Carolina Hurricanes (3-3-4)

In the newly renamed PNC Arena, the number one team in the league came to Raleigh to face the twenty fifth and the outcome was not what one would suspect for this inaugural game. Cam Ward faced 40 shots and stopped them all in rout to a 2-0 Canes victory in front of a loud and full Caniac crowd. It was a tough defensive battle that saw a plethora of excitement from both teams but eventually took two and a half periods for someone to break the ice (so to speak). Chad Larose scored on a wrap around that deflected off of a Blues defenseman and into the net behind goalie Brian Elliot for his 15th goal of the season. It was an ugly scrappy goal, but it counts just as well as any other. Once he scored it only took five more minutes to tally one of his own to all-but seal the win at home. That goal, unlike Larose's, was a thing of beauty as Skinner collected the loose puck with his right skate, kicked it to his stick blade and roofed it over a sprawling Elliot. (Video below)

With the shutout, Cam ties the franchise record with Irbe for 20 shutouts. Cam won his 200th career game.

GOALS: Larose (15 - Nodl, Brent), Skinner (20 - Allen)

SAVES/GA: Wardo (40/0), Elliot (28/2)

PENALTIES: CAR 4, STL 6

ATTENDANCE: 18,680

BOXSCORE

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Icege · Posted

      I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
