Game 21: Carolina Hurricanes (11-8-1) @ Florida Panthers (6-10-5) (6:00 P.M Start)


Recommended Posts

The Carolina Hurricanes are back at it again (on Alex Semin's birthday) taking on the Florida Panthers in the sun state. The Canes have called up Brett Sutter due to the fact that Andreas Nodl and Zac Dalpe have suffered severe injuries and will be out for quite some time.

The Canes will be without Chad LaRose (concussion), Joni Pitkanen (lower body), Tim Brent (lower body).

The Canes will roll with the following line-up...

Tlusty- E. Staal - Semin

Wallace - J. Staal - Skinner

Jokinen - Nash - Dwyer

Bowman - Sutter - Westgarth

Harrison - Faulk

Gleason - Corvo

Sanguinetti - McBain

Ward

Ellis (ill)

Inactive: None

Injured: LaRose, Pitkanen, Brent

The Panthers on the other hand have called up AHL goalie Jacob Markstrom who will potentially get the start in favor of Clemmensen who played horribly last night. However, Markstrom's goalie equipment has yet to arrive to the arena.

The Panthers will be without Jose Theodore, Dmitry Kulikov, Ed Jovanovski, Mike Weaver, Scottie Upshall, Kirs Versteeg, and Michael Caruso.

Go Canes!!!

Game Recap

Carolina Hurricanes (12-8-1)

Tonight was a night all about role reversals. Dan Ellis was scheduled to make the start in net for the Canes tonight, but an illness forced the team to go with red-hot net-minder Cam Ward. However, about half way through the second, Cam Ward went down when Hurricane defense-man Justin Faulk collided with him. Ward was evaluated with a leg injury and did not return. The Hurricanes were forced to put in Dan Ellis who played pretty well for being under the weather, but he did surrender two goals on 21 shots. The Canes were the better team for a period and half as Faulk, Semin (Happy Birthday Sasha), and Jordan Staal lit the lamp, but for the second period and a half, the Panthers were clearly the better team. Luckily Ellis was playing well and the game was already decided by then. If the Canes want to keep this winning strek alive they need to put forth a full effort every night, much like they did against Pittsburgh on Thursday and Florida on Saturday.

    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.  Mock drafts 
    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
