Game 6: Carolina Hurricanes (2-3) vs. Ottawa Senators (5-1-1)


Recommended Posts

Big game tonight, the Sens are without Spezza and the Canes have had Ottawa's number the past two seasons and they need to have it tonight to stay in the hunt for the top 8.

Ottawa is still a great team and actually the best team in the NHL's Eastern Conference with the hottest goal tender in hockey right now in Craig Anderson. This test will truly tell the Canes where they stand among the NHL's finest.

I advise you not to look at the standings unless you have to because the Canes are currently really close to the bottom, however we have played the least amount of games in the NHL. Back to back wins against the Senstors and Flyers would put us right back in the drivers seat.

News and Notes

Dan Ellis gets the start in net tonight.

Justin Faulk is back in the line up tonight.

Joe Corvo is also in the lineup tonight.

Bobby Sanguinetti is a heathy scratch.

Andreas Nodl will see his first action with the Canes tonight on the fourth line with Chad LaRose and Tim Brent.

Pat Dwyer will be bumped up to the third line with Jiri Tlusty and Jussi Jokinen.

Kevin Westgarth is a healthy scratch tonight.

Jussi Jokinen has been bumped to the top line on the power play and Jordan Staal will lead the second power play unit.

Go Canes!!!

    • The teams this 2nd year player (can’t really blame the years before he was drafted on him) was playing were going 100% as most do most weeks in the NFL. The whole argument is about his play during that period and how well was he actually playing. I’m with you on the winning though. Just start winning and fans will get excited. Start getting in the playoffs and winning and we won’t care how his PFF or box score stats look. 200 yards a game to 400 yards a game, start scoring and winning playoffs games and 99% of fans will buy in. 
    • Yeah, we are gonna be raw.  Wonnum, for the past 3 years, has been averaging 8 sacks a season (4 in one season when he missed half a season).  I am OK, but yes, they will be thrown to the fire.
    • I like this because it means one or both of the rookies will be thrust into a bigger role right away and we can see what they might be. I don't like this because it just makes our team that much younger and inexperienced.  You need vets to help the young guys learn, I just hope we aren't going too far in the opposite direction.  All our FA signings were guys just coming off their rookie deals too, I get why we're doing it, but having the savvy vets help in other ways too.
