Game 27: Carolina Hurricanes (15-10-1) @ Tampa Bay Lightning (11-15-1)


Recommended Posts

The Canes travel to the Bay area as they take on the Lightning is a must win game for the Canes. Winnipeg is coming on strong and only trails the Canes by one point so if the Canes want to stay atop the division, they need a win tonight.

The Canes will have a new face in the line-up tonight as Adam Hall will be switching natural forces and joining the Hurricanes in the away locker room tonight.

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

Jiri Tlusty - Eric Staal - Alexander Semin

Jeff Skinner - Jordan Staal - Patrick Dwyer

Drayson Bowman - Riley Nash - Jussi Jokinen

Adam Hall - Tim Brent - Tim Wallace

Jay Harrison - Justin Faulk

Tim Gleason - Joe Corvo

Joni Pitkanen - Jamie McBain

Justin Peters

Dan Ellis

Inactive: Tuomo Ruutu, Bobby Sanguinetti, Kevin Westgarth

Injured: Chad LaRose (concussion), Cam Ward (MCL)

The Lightning will roll with Mathieu Garon in net who has a record of 2-7-0, unfortunately for the Canes; Garon's two wins have come against the Canes.

As far as injuries go, the Lightning will be without Vincent Lecavalier, Benoit Pouliot, and possibly Tom Pyatt.

It's time to get back on track...

LET'S GO CANES!!!

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
