GDT: 1/3 the Effort. Tampa vs. Carolina

[tarheelhockey]

Yup, I'm done for the evening. Gonna keep the game on in the background, but I'm not getting myself mad on Saturday night.

i predict we get 2 goals in the 3rd, 1 by Staal, 1 by a defenseman, then have massive pressure in the last 3 minutes that amounts to nothing and we still end up losing 3-2

 

[Lucky Lindy]

Two games in a row where the other team scored on a crosspass in midzone to a breakaway.. What is up with that?

 

[Wolfpuck]

The question is...do we like our group?

No but really, are the Hurricanes going to show up against the Rangers on Monday? What about Florida on Tuesday? Why does this team have zero killer instinct?

...3-1 Jets

 

[Identity404]

People need to lighten up here... too much negativity.

Miracle comeback coming up...

I say we end up tying it with about 1:30 to go, but then get scored on right before time expires. But in all honesty we probably get shutout. Carolina is 0-6 the last 5 periods.

4-1 Jets

fun

 

[Wolfpuck]

4-1 Jets

Our only hope is to crush the Lightning in the third.

...so we're hosed...

 

[WalkerBabe]

How about we let Chantel play? She should do something worthwhile ... maybe it would distract the Bolts, at least.

 

[Jagee44]

Pitiful couple effort by the Canes. Goodbye division lead.

 

[Carolina]

4-1 Jets

fun

We're still in control of our own destiny...just like the season we played Florida in our final game

 

[Joe McGrath]

At least a vast majority of the Canes losses this year have been pretty obvious early in the game?

Or a couple of seasons ago when we played Tampa Bay in our final game.

I'm going to enjoy watching Boston, Montreal, Detroit, et al feast on the two Florida teams next season...

 

[Carolina]

We certainly aren't the comeback 'Canes this season

 

[Lucky Lindy]

I guess we have four losses against Florida and TB next year.

The tactic for the third: Throw pucks at the net. Great.

 

[Anton Babchuk]

Don't worry, if it comes down to the final game of the season at least there's a chance that Ward won't be in net to blow it for us

 

[Francis10]

Last 3 games Skinner has been invisible out there and very tentative to get hit. We really need a big body skilled winger to help that line out.

Ruuuuuuutu?

 

[Novacane]

Get back from Greensboro, see this score, and then check the Winnipeg score. Yep, today is looking to be a pretty ****** sports day.

 

[Anton Babchuk]

Ruuuuuuutu?

He said "skilled"

 

[Lucky Lindy]

He said "skilled"

Sorry, missed that. Westgarth then.

 

[Carolina]

You know what we need? We need to get on a PP, that'll get us going for sure.
