GDT: 17 o'clock, Janauary 13th, Colorado @ Carolina: Natural Disasters Edition

[tarheelhockey]

The Canes and Avs are remarkably similar teams. Fun young talent, "meh" veterans on the downside of their careers, elite defensive center, horrible defensemen, no depth, goalie tandem consisting of a Russian and a guy whose name starts with "c".

Yeah except they lucked their way to the playoffs last year and we could never do that

According to #realhockeyfans every Canes win is luck

 

[DougieSmash]

Palat- Rask- Semin is good line.

Well, Carolina did kinda luck their way to a Cup.

*ducks*

 

[What the Faulk]

I missed the St. Louis game, why is Nash back with Semin and Skinner? Rask was looking sharp in that spot.

Holy **** Murph that was beautiful

 

[Neighbor Lee]

now that was a nice pass by Murphy!

 

[Wolfpuck]

If only Murphy was half as good defensively as he is offensively

 

[rocky7]

Beauty of a goal...

 

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

come on team

 

[Wolfpuck]

20 shots for the Canes already

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Palat- Rask- Semin is good line.

Semin doesn't seem to be playing - his skating is quite slow and he hasn't been able to keep up with the speed of his teammates up to this point, imo. What can make him try? C'mon Alex, we need the effort.

 

[GoldiFox]

Goal happened right in front of me... seriously heady play by Murphy.

 

[tarheelhockey]

They also lucked their way to a #1 overall, while we are happy to get a top-7.

I see you've studied the handbook.

 

[Unsustainable]

Has Colorado had a shot in a while?

 

[BlitzSnipe]

I see you've studied the handbook.

Quite frustrating to see him playing like this. I think this is, unfortunately, the worst season of his career.

The last shift was a bit better though.

 

[Wild Caniac]

I hate colorado but im def pulling for them tonight.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

I assume it was a joke, but who on our team is Ondrej Palat?

Also, Tar Heel, Khudobin is not Russian, he's from Kazawhateverstan.

 

[What the Faulk]

^ I think there's a thread somewhere comparing him to Jeff Skinner

Quite frustrating to see him playing like this. I think this is, unfortunately, the worst season of his career.

Well I think we can all agree on that.

Ryan Murphy giving shoutouts to Charlotte and for their coaching in respect to his defensive development. Said he couldn't identify coverages for awhile. That kinda explains things
