Carolina Hurricanes (15-13-2) vs. Winnipeg Jets (17-14-2)


Recommended Posts

The Carolina Hurricanes are back at it tonight at PNC arena in a must win game (in my opinion). The Canes currently sit one point out of 8th place and four points away from the Jets and that very elusive South Eastern Division Championship.

The Canes will look a little different tonight as they have made a flurry of moves in the past week which includes recalling Brett Bellemore, John Muse and Riley Nash, reassigning Zach Boychuk, activating Chad LaRose and Joe Corvo from IR, signing Alex Semin to a five year contract and waiving Jussi Jokinen and Tim Wallace.

With all of that done, here is how the Canes will look tonight...

Jiri Tlusty - Eric Staal - Alexander Semin

Jeff Skinner - Jordan Staal - Chad LaRose

Tuomo Ruutu - Riley Nash - Patrick Dwyer

Kevin Westgarth - Tim Brent - Adam Hall

Tim Gleason - Joe Corvo

Joni Pitkanen - Jamie McBain

Jay Harrison - Brett Bellemore

Justin Peters

John Muse

Inactive: Drayson Bowman

Injured: Dan Ellis (leg), Bobby Sanguinetti (upper body), Justin Faulk (knee), Cam Ward (knee)

The Jets are expected to roll with Ondrej Pavelec in goal. As far as injuries go, Ron Hainsey and Mark Stuart are questionable as where Zach Redmond, Jim Slater, and Anthony Peluso are out.

It's time for the Canes to snap this losing streak and start their push for the playoffs.

GO CANES!!!

    • Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens. 
    • Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.   
    • Highest amount of OL salary cap in the league too. The Chiefs are behind us at 2 but we are ahead of them by a cool $23 million. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/position/offensive-line/_/year/2026/table/active/sort/cap_total
