Around the League 37: Wait, he plays where now?

[The Faulker 27]

Canes have plenty of speed. That's proven in how well they suppress shots. They can't score.

Part of the shot suppression is their superior neutral zone play too. They prevent teams like Jersey from going coast to coast like they've been doing all night against the Rags.

 

[Derailed75]

Jersey looks about twice as fast Carolina.

Thats cause Carolina is sitting in a couch watching the game, they already moved on.

To be fair, I look super fast in a foot race against my Auntie.

 

[StorminSnvechnAho]

When the Devils get their speed and transition game going they might be the fastest team in the league.

It's a good thing the Canes are the best in the league at standing teams up between the blue lines.

You still have 20 more minutes karma could be a beetch.

 

[Summer Rose]

So Wednesday are you joining us then?

Of course! I’m just feeling sick right now and had to get in bed.

Auntie after a couple of martinis is a different story.

Awww, hope you feel better soon!!!

I would NOT challenge Aunt B to a fight--sober or not--I'll give you that.

So the Rangers traded their 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 7th and are 20 minutes away from a 1st round exit? (They do have Dallas’s 1st and Colorado 3rd). Also traded 2024 3rd and 2025 2nd, 3rd, and 4th.

And the Bruins traded 2023 1st, 2nd, 5th; 2024 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 7th; 2025 2nd and 4th for a first round exit?

That’s a lot to sacrifice to flame out so early.

 

[DaveG]

Am I sure I want the Devils?

No. But if any team is built to frustrate the living f*** out of them until they make a mistake it's us.

 

[VAcaniac]

Am I sure I want the Devils?

I was starting to second guess myself, but I think our neutral zone system will really slow them down.

We make McDavid look like an AHLer…

The Canes have a lot of very fast skaters too, if you see the complaints on other teams message boards the Canes speed is ridiculous, speed to the neutral zone standing it up and speed to the puck.

Yep and the Canes have speed to burn, the Obvious guys are Necas and Aho and Ghost but I think a lot of people don't understand how fast Martinook,Sjkei,Chatfield are all elite skaters...

Necas is the fastest clocked player in the NHL.

But we lost this years Fastest skater

 

[Canes]

The way the playoffs have gone, literally nothing is predictable. Not going to get to caught up in how we match up with the Debs on paper.

 

[StorminSnvechnAho]

I was trying to leave him out because it's a downer for me my favorite player and lives around the block from me. The crazy thing is I'm pretty sure he's the fourth or fifth fastest guy on our team... Necas/Aho/Chatfield and possibly Jarvis are faster.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Lol Igor get f***ed, that should’ve counted

 

[Negan4Coach]

Well I certainly like the direction this is going tonight. Can't believe the Rags are choking like this. Hope it lasts all game

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

wait...what?

 

[Wolfpuck]

Miller almost got Igor killed.

 

[The Faulker 27]

Dangerous play there. Shesty is lucky that wasn't an injury.

 

[Canes]

lol that reminded me of Mrazek coming out to play the puck in the infamous Ayres game

 

[StorminSnvechnAho]

Good call we have home ice, but I can promise you the Canes won't have the trouble with the Devils speed to transition game that the Rags are having, fast play literally plays into the Canes style.

 

[cptjeff]

Shesty shot the puck at a guy, no call. Kinda reasonable given that the guy had just taken a shot into the net well after the whistle, but remember when folks wanted to crucify Alfredsson for that?

 

[Tryamw]

Trouba helping us... Meier Down

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Trouba needs to be kicked out of the f***ing league. f***ing piece of shit
