GDT: Canes @ Florida

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Canes 4th line tonight:

Guess Who/Who Knew/Who Cares

How can there be a "4th line" when we only have 10 forwards?

Man, that really sucks re: Skinner. I don't see what it could be other than a concussion. If it's the hit I'm thinking about, he did look dazed from it (and I recall yelling about no one taking up for him). I know we joke about being one hit away from eating through a straw, but how many do you take before really contemplating your future?

Yeah, with what they know about CTE right now, I'd be tempted to hang them up. Being what he is, a competitive hockey player, he won't, but I'd be tempted. Of course, that's jumping to the conclusion that it's a concussion.

McGinn is in and Tennyson is playing F.

I'm really frustrated by this season, so I've been scarce. I guess I'm optimistic about the future, but I really didn't think it had to be *this* messy.

Anyhow, I'm getting ready to watch the game, although I'm not sure why. I'm loyal, if nothing else.

And for some more uncharacteristic optimism, would the Canes really let Skinner fly from Raleigh to Miami if they feared a concussion? And secondly, even if they did, would they let him fly *back* if they feared a concussion? That seems a weird way to treat a possible concussion.

But I've been wrong about literally *everything* this season, so what do I know.

 

[TheBigKahuna]

Skinner isn't injured. He's being traded.

 

[raynman]

Well that shoulda been a penalty on Matheson.

 

[Wolfpuck]

McGinn takes a big hit on the first shift.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

No call there? Sweet. I guess we should be happy McGinn didn't get an embellishment penalty.

So, for some reason gamecenter is ****ed up and I'm stuck with the Florida announcers. This is gonna be a long night.

I would bet that Skinner felt fine until he flew. Air pressure changes can do weird things when you have a concussion.

Is that ****stick Potvin with them again?

True, but wouldn't imagine they'd have flown him back if that was the case.

 

[Wolfpuck]

At least what's left of this team looks like they give a ****.

 

[raynman]

Florida is playing like they're angry the Canes got their coach fired.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

The game is in Carolina? I thought it was in Florida, but based on the attendance, it must be in Carolina.

 

[Unsustainable]

McGinn took some shots to the head while laying on the ice

Yeah, Potvin came back last year, apparently.

As for Skinner, I don't think flying does any damage, just makes you feel it. And what else are they gonna do, put him on a bus? Logistically, flying is the only real option if you want to get him back quickly and relatively comfortably.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Florida gets their top line against Ryan's line which and then just dominates possession. Happened a couple times and led to a PP this time.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Even without Hainsey and Stalberg, the kill is still real.

Until the too many men call.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Too many Canes etc

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Is it just me, or do we seem to have an excessive number of too many men calls this year?

 

[MinJaBen]

Too many men on the ice, not enough on the bench.

 

[Wolfpuck]

I've noticed it's been a problem for the past couple of seasons. I don't know if that's on the coaching staff or what.

Jagr adds to his totals.

I think you spoke too soon
