Svech fail

 

[hblueridgegal]

We love a challenge..2-0

 

[cptjeff]

Goddamnit. We *were* looking decent, and then...

 

[Tryamw]

2-0

 

[TheOllieC]

Who knew that going cheap and relying on depressed injured assets in net would be a bad thing

Hmm…maybe

 

[hockeynjune]

Wow these guy have no heart. That was some really bad hockey.

 

[MyLuckyPuck]

Kardri man. Go get him

 

[Rick Davis]

Slavin what the hell dude…

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

What a lazy effort from Slavin/Burns

 

[Svechhammer]

2-0

Bad Slavin turnover, no urgency by Burns and they both back off the goal scorer as he skates up the middle of the ice

Break that line up. Burns is dragging Slavin into the gutter

 

[Borsig]

lol. Tokarski sucks too

 

[Joe McGrath]

Trading Aho or Jarvis after they just signed a new deal is unlikely. And trading Svech is a possibility, but with how he’s played this year, we’d be selling low. Not to mention we’re hurting for Top 6 forwards in the first place.



I’m saying what needs to be said. It wouldn’t be the first time that the star players tuning out a coach has led to the coach being fired. Remember Eric Staal’s performance back in 2011? 5 points in his first 16 games, ending with a 7 game pointless streak. Maurice gets fired after the 16th game, Muller is hired. Eric then puts up 65 points in the remaining 66 games.

Was it Maurice’s fault? Not at all. Obviously, we know Maurice is a very good coach. But when a star player decides he no longer wants to play for a coach, they’re the ones that get the axe, more often than not.

Not saying that’s the case here, but the lackadaisical attitude we’re seeing from our star players this year is a vast difference from what we’ve seen in years past. For many years, you could count the number of times the team “Didn’t show up” to games on one hand. This year? It’s like once a week.

It would be the first time the Canes fired a coach who is the face of the franchise, just signed a new contract, had half the team turn over in an intentional step back year, getting whale shit goaltending and is still a f***ing playoff team. The assertion that he could be on the chopping block is complete lunacy.

I don’t usually dump on goalies, but that was pathetic.

 

[User13452]

Burns and Slavin that was pathetic. Yet again the goalie gotta stop that

 

[Svechhammer]

The next time we take a shot from inside the circles will be a miracle

 

[HisIceness]

Took a break from cooking, going back to cooking. It's clear the Hurricanes aren't cooking.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

And they probably would have won that challenge lol

 

[skipnjump]

I forgot about the 6:00 start. It looks like I haven't missed much

 

[User13452]

That is so so bad from Tokarski lol both goals

 

[Tryamw]

But they did start the stove

 

[WreckingCrew]

Canes not worth watching again, I'll check back later (maybe)

 

[Stickpucker]

Is this worth tuning in to or should I just focus on cooking pork chops?

Pork chops unless you're a piggie.

 

[cptjeff]

That is so so bad from Tokarski lol both goals

Yeah, Freddy can't be back soon enough. I get that they're fine writing off a few midseason games instead of paying the extortionate rates for a stopgap goalie, but Jaysus. Tokarski is not a long term solution even as a backup.

This year, Burns is playing like a limited minutes third pair guy.

Problem is you can’t swap him with walker or chatty because then the 2nd or 3rd pair would be as slow as dog manure.

We only have one fast d-man per pair and that’s an issue.

 

[Tryamw]

Pork chops unless you're a piggie.

Should also add some taters
