GDT: 07/11/2013: Islanders @ Hurricanes. Some more nerdy stuff.

[Wolfpuck]

God the Islanders look bad

 

[Wolfpuck]

loving the Terry-Nash-Dwyer line

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Honestly Terry's looked good to me in all 4 of his games up here.

 

[Frank Booth239*]

when did the fight happen? why didn't they show it? Tis Ruterford's new policy?

 

[Wolfpuck]

bad turnover almost leads to an Isles goal

It was fairly late after the whistle. Did they go to commercial?

 

[Sens1Canes2]

11400 paid attendance.....eesh. That is bad.

It was a little after the puck was frozen. I'm watching the Isles feed and they just started fighting.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Peters stones Grabner!

 

[Novacane]

Peters!

 

[Wild Caniac]

Holy **** peters.

 

[gocanes88]

Man... that almost non-stop first period really has us ahead. This will be a very early-ending game.

And how about Pete Dawg? A rough start to his season, but all of a sudden he's hanging in there...

[Wolfpuck]

bad turnover at the point (yet again) leads to the Grabner breakaway

good pressure by the Canes to end the period

 

[tarheelhockey]

11400 paid attendance.....eesh. That is bad.

As expected, the last couple of years have caught up with them. It's going to take playoff noise to get things back on track.

 

[w e l o s t b o y s]

Good back check by Semin too, don't expect too many guys to be able to put much pressure on Grabner when he's got a break.

Might have been Dwyer? I can barely tell players apart my stream is like 120p

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Well, we're getting chances at least. Wish we could get another past the goalie, but our offense looks better than it has recently

 

[vwg*]

PeteDawg's Revenge

 

[Lazyking]

This is the way the Canes will win. hard forecheck and backcheck, blocked shots and the goalie making a save when he needs to. Peters still gives up way too many juicy rebounds but he's making the saves tonight.

 

[tarheelhockey]

God the Islanders look bad

I'm really surprised that they want to make this a track meet in a road game. If they just ground out an ugly game, Tavares would probably beat us by himself.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Marc Staal just took another puck to the face. He went down, but it looked like it hit the face shield

 

[Lazyking]

The team is frankly really boring to watch. Coming off a tough stretch with Skinner out, not surprised no one wants to pay to see this team.

It was Semin. He really put on the jets to catch up. I assumed it would be a clean break when I saw #40 get the puck.

Unfortunately Semin was so gassed he couldn't catch up with the play going the other way but it was a nice defensive effort. I can't believe this guy got the reputation of being a floater.

 

[AhoLottaLove]

That attendance number is awful.

If I had the money I'd buy season tickets even though the team is not that good. Now I just buy five dollar tickets on stubhub when I can get them.

Wish I could support the team more. Wish they deserved it more too.

 

[tarheelhockey]

That number is basically the STH count plus 2,000 or so.
