I'm heading to RDU in an hour to see the game tonight. BOS is a contender, so don't expect us to be much more than a minor bump to them. Looking for us to play hard. This will be my first trip to RBC/PNC, so I'm very excited to not be the only person in my section wearing a Hurricanes jersey. :)

well...that was quite a first period. Just like Thursday, we spent much of the first in the offensive zone. Peppered 17 shots and got a PPG in the last minute and plenty of great opportunities.

Bruins only got 4 shots, but our soft ass D gave up a weak goal. Bs had open guys on the opposite side of the play open constantly, just like the Caps did on Thursday.

Crazy period with 3 fights. If they keeps that up, stormy will have to come out in the 3rd.

2nd period was the best of the 5 I've seen live so far. Canes had a lot of energy and had a huge kill. They got caught in a change and gave up a crappy goal, which took a lot of air out of the building.

The D is playing tight and reactive. The Bs are able to get in some tasty spots without any harassment. I'd like to see the D be much more active and force the opposing offense to work harder.

Bs caught us bad changes three times. That poo has to get cleaned up. We showed a really nice entry play that got us in the zone with speed a few times.

Peters gave up a soft one early, but was a bad ass the rest of the night...including robbery of Jagr. If this is the sign to come from him, he's going to be a good young keeper.

    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
    • Theilen is about to retire. I dont care about him sticking around. Lets say you did and he retires at the end of the year. Now that connection is gone next year and it's just another excuse for regression that was just held off. 
    • Short term is the key point. Those first two games without him where pretty bad. They still aren't back to where they were offensively but they are getting better. Hopefully Tet continues to improve and Coker eventually returns - and stays healthy.
