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!!!

    • Aho…come out and prove me wrong boy. 
    • I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.
    • I have no doubt the Canes will come out like gangbusters, huge bounce back from game one - my only concern is Freddie, if he lets in a couple of softies and Dobes stays hot we could be in trouble.
