Game 24: Carolina Hurricanes (13-9-1) vs. New Jersey Devils (11-8-5)


Recommended Posts

Tonight the Canes are at home as they take on the New Jersey Devils in what will be the halfway point of the season for the Canes. The Canes are still leading the South East Division with a slim two point margin over the Winnipeg Jets. A win tonight would be huge as the Canes look to get back on track after another lackluster performance against what looks to be their kryptonite (the Montreal Canadians).

The good news for the Canes is that they are the healthiest they have been in a long time with a lot of guys returning tonight. Tim Brent, Riley Nash, and Dan Ellis are all returning to the line-up as where Checkers call-up Chris Terry will make his NHL debut. In other injury news, Joni Pitkanen skated today and it is said that Tuomo Ruutu could begin skating again as soon as March 15th.

The line-up's are as follows...

Jiri Tlusty - Eric Staal - Alexander Semin

Jeff Skinner - Jordan Staal - Jussi Jokinen

Chris Terry - Riley Nash - Patrick Dwyer

Drayson Bowman - Tim Brent - Tim Wallace

Jay Harrison - Justin Faulk

Tim Gleason - Joe Corvo

Bobby Sanguinetti - Jamie McBain

Dan Ellis

Justin Peters

Inactive: Kevin Westgarth

Injured: Joni Pitkanen (lower body), Chad LaRose (concussion), Tuomo Ruutu (hip), Cam Ward (MCL)

As far as the Devils are concerned, they will be playing without Marty Brodeur and Dainius Zubrusm and they could also be missing Henrik Tallinder.

News and Notes

  • Chris Terry is making his NHL debut tonight for the Canes
  • The Canes will be dawning camo warmups in honor of Military Appreciation Night
  • This is the first time in 69 games that Cam Ward and Marty Brodeur are not the starting goaltenders when the Canes and Devils face off

Side Note: I will be at the game tonight (Sec104), so I won't be chatting with you guys tonight.

Go CANES!!!

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
