Eddie earned his tacos tonight.

The rest of the team, not so much.

 

[NoShowWilly]

So who gets the goal with 7 seconds left int he game to make it 3-2?

well you were right. just wrong net.

 

[Unsustainable]

Lol, goal against ourselves

 

[Joe McGrath]

Ron Haisey is a loser - Donald Trump

 

[AD Skinner]

Hainsey did assist on the only goal. Still though. Weak.

GG guys. Lack was great tonight, Eric Staal's physical game with the puck is still really impressive, and I would do anything to have Hanifin on our blue line--- he's gonna be good.

I've only been to the Raleigh-Durham area once for soccer, but I definitely have to make it out for a Stars-Canes game in the future.

Southern hospitality being reciprocated back is always a good thing.

They should trade him to the Kings to guarantee they miss the playoffs.

I am dissapointed we lost, but solid win for you guys and you look like you'll be handing out your share of ass kickings this year. I hope you guys go far

And yes. Southern hospitality ftw

Remember that whole "Canes are only 1 point out of a playoff spot" thing a while back. They are now closer to last place: 3 points ahead of Toronto with only CLB and TOR with worse records, than they are to a playoff spot: 5 points back with 5 teams in front of them for the final spot. Still early enough in the season to turn it around (or at least remain in the hunt), but maybe, as the proverbial Denny Green said, "They are who we thought they were".

 

[HisIceness]

SMH should have drafted Jamie Benn in 2007.

 

[AD Skinner]

Really it was a closer game than i expected. Getting pretty tired of moral victories at this point though

We've only played two games since then. Calm down

So you go post a thread on the main board about the Canes only being 1 game out of the playoffs after only 11 games are played, and now you are complaining about sample sizes. That's priceless CI.

My post was intended to point out exactly that. Touting about being in the playoff hunt after 11 games is just as ridiculous as saying they are out of it after 13.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Yeah, we've got to wait until Thanksgiving to say we're out.

Bit late to the party here. I went to this game and it was only the second I've watched this year, so my knowledge of the team is poor.

I personally thought that Eric and Jordan played very well, but that Elias Lindholm didn't add much at all to their line. The play died on his stick a few times and he took way too long to make decisions with the puck.

On D, I thought Justin Faulk was a monster for most of the night. Man he can break it out of the zone really well. I also more or less liked Ryan Murphy. However, I couldn't help but notice Hanifin in the worst way. He made all kinds of questionable decisions with and without the puck from what I saw. He looked very, very overmatched in this game. Brett Pesce looked solid, though unspectacular.

Edit - lastly, I thought Eddie Lack was pretty good. I couldn't pin any of the goals against him. Oddly enough, I'd say he outplayed Lehtonen in the night, despite having a much worse save percentage. Lehtonen was a rebound machine, we just couldn't get close enough to the net to capitalize on them.

I'm curious to see if others saw the same or different in this game. Thanks.
