Game 2 (0-1) Carolina Hurricanes vs. (1-1) Tampa Bay Lightning


Recommended Posts

Big game. Gotta get this win. I hate TB more than anybody else in the division, so a win here is huge for my psyche. I like the changes to the lines, especially putting Skinner on the 3rd with Jussi. Skinner gets to go against the back 6 and the bottom defensive pairing for most of the night, and that could mean big things. Bowman on the first with Eric is also an interesting move. Let's just hope the defense in front of Cam is much better and hope Cam can have his head on a swivel and not let in easy goals.

Ok... Cam sucks balls again, but how was that not waved off for a kick in?

Eh. First goal was the result of a turnover and a mid-air shot. Second was a scramble. Wasn't a kick-in, because the forward on the backside came in with his stick and put it in. What some of you fail to realize is that it isn't all on Cam. He has been "eh" for a little bit, but not necessarily bad. The defense in front of him has to do a better job clearing the net.

Must've missed him get the stick on it. (watching the game on a shitty stream)

I've been a huge defender of Cam for a while. And he has always been a hot and cold netminder, but there it's no denying that, since he came back from the injury last year, he has been far more cold than hot.

On a positive note, we are getting much better looks than we did in FLA, and the puck movement, so far, has been night and day.

    • Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.
    • Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
    • You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
