GDT: 3/18 - Canes @ Jackets - Strange Lines

[AhoLottaLove]

Khudobin has been a wall tonight.

 

[What the Faulk]

Oh, and not to start stuff, but what would the score be tonight if Cam Ward was in goal?

Don't lie.

 

[ck26]

27 saves through two periods. This is quite a stretch for a nickname, but Vezinadobin...?

gerbe-loktionov-dwyer

best line in #hcanes history averageing 3 goals per game

I guess screwing our draft position starts tonight...

If you can't suck bad enough to get Ekblad, you're better off winning some. Great goaltending from Khudobin tonight. Great fight and scrappiness from the team. Maybe the tongue-lashing from Muller worked. They've responded pretty well at least. Only negative that sticks out is how ridiculous Gerbe looks standing outside scrums, staring at everyone else's shoulders ...

34 saves for Khudobin. When he's on his game, he's fun to watch. So confident and aggressive as a goaltender.

He looks good, but the opposite of confident. He looks frantic. It's working, but he doesn't give off the Patrick Roy / 2003 Giguere vibe at all. At all.

I was just asking myself this question. I'd say this season's Cam would have let in at least three.

Tripp

 

[TheOllieC]

LOL Tripp.

That thing is ridiculously loud though.

 

[What the Faulk]

By the way, the Rangers are beating Ottawa 5-2 in the 3rd. If that score holds, they'll pass the Senators in the standings, though Ottawa has a game in hand.

 

[gocanes88]

I would love to see what happens if we actually call a timeout when Tripp asks for it.

They're trying. I don't think they've been very good tonight at all. The sheer volume of defensive zone turnovers is again mind-boggling. As is the sheer volume of bad/slow decisions in the neutral zone. The only difference between this game and the games this weekend is the goaltending, IMO. Bobrovsky normally stops goals No. 2 and 3 and Khudobin has been completely unbeatable. I don't think that means the Canes have been any better than they have all season.

 

[gocanes88]

...what is Columbus doing?

 

[TheOllieC]

This just in: Canes still suck at getting pucks out.

 

[My Special Purpose]

16-0 shots in the third. Why have a goalie?

 

[Moosetache]

I really can't listen to Tripp anymore....is there ANY way to get him out of there????

 

[My Special Purpose]

These guys should be embarrassed by what they just did to Khudobin.

 

[gocanes88]

Poor Dobby.

 

[AhoLottaLove]

Khudobin deserved the shutout

 

[TheOllieC]

**** this team.

 

[Novacane]

Poor Anton.

 

[Clark Gillies]

Damn -- The only reason I kept watching was to see if Dobby could get the SO.

Friggin Canes can't clear the zone forever.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Anton is so ticked off.

 

[gocanes88]

Well... good to get the W, at least.

 

[My Special Purpose]

To give credit to *anyone* other than Khudobin for these two points is to do him yet another disservice.

 

[daikan]

"Territorial edge"—is he talking about home ice advantage?

 

[What the Faulk]

Well, good win. And they'll probably beat Chicago, then lose to Winnipeg. Because that's the Carolina way.

 

[Wild Caniac]

Play awful in the 3rd, Still win.
