Game 35: Carolina Hurricanes (14-13-7) vs. Washington Capitals (18-13-3)

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I figured we'd get these threads going again since we seem to be doing well...

 

What: Carolina Hurricanes vs. Washington Capitals

When: 7:00 P.M.

Where: PNC Arena (Raleigh, North Carolina)

 

The Canes are healthy and are only missing one player (Elias Lindholm) and that is due to the Canes loaning him to Sweden for the World Junior Championships.

 

Tonight the Canes are playing against the Caps and at this point every game against a team that is ahead of us in the standings is a must win...

 

Line Up

 

Jeff Skinner - Eric Staal - Tuomo Ruutu

Nathan Gerbe - Jordan Staal - Alexander Semin

Jiri Tlusty - Riley Nash - Patrick Dwyer

Drayson Bowman - Manny Malhotra - Radek Dvorak

 

Andrej Sekera - Justin Faulk

Ron Hainsey - Brett Bellemore

Jay Harrison - Tim Gleason

 

Cam Ward

Justin Peters

 

Scratches: Kevin Westgarth, Ryan Murphy, Mike Komisarek, Anton Khudobin

On Loan: Elias Lindholm

 

Note: Watch for a possible scuffle between Bellemore and Tom Wilson of the Caps tonight. Bellemore is in his first game back since Wilson concussed him a while back.

 

VS.

 

GO CANES!!!

The Canes are playing some great hockey right now.

Great goal by Jordan Staal

 

Jordan Staal (8) from Alex Semin (7) and Justin Faulk (13)

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

And then Cam Ward costs us a goal on what should have been a routine glove save...

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

And just like that, we're losing...

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Not a pretty goal, but a goal nonetheless.

 

Riley Nash (4) from Sekera (13) and Gerbe (8)

 

All tied up, 2-2.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

And Washington scores again...

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Tough loss for the Canes, we definitely deserved to win... but unfortunately that's not always the way the cookie crumbles.

Idk if I can watch anymore until Ward is gone. Automatic 4 goals for the other team when he's in net.
