GDT: Canes in Vancouver 10:30 EST

Shoutout Parma

NN 4 goals in 4 games. I'm gonna live dangerously and say It may take Victor the rest of the season to score 4 goals with MIN.

 

[Identity404]

Neds style reminded me of Mrazeks quite a bit.

Surely 4 games are few, but yesterday I had the distinct feeling that Nino is more functional with Aho than Ferland. The 3-2 goal showed us how much space Nino creates for Seabass.

Nino has more skill than Ferland. Ferland can finish, but from what I have seen so far Nino can create on his own some too.

NN - Aho - TT Has the potential to be the Canes best first line since Staal Semin and Tlusty in the lockout year

They have good chemistry. I really like Ferland, and we're not in a position to be turning away players that can finish, but the NN acquisition definitely makes signing Ferland optional, especially if he's asking for anymore than NN's salary.

Ned looks so out of place as an NHL goalie in today’s game. It just looks weird.

Dammed if he doesn’t win hockey games though, and that’s the only thing that matters.

 

[SvechneJerk]

Aaand now I’m hungry. Thanks.

 

[Unsustainable]

Holy shit

 

[BROCK HUGHES]

Canuck fan here ..you guys have a pretty good team on the rise...your not far off....we on the other hand...
Congrats good game from you guys..

When it was getting chippy last night though, I found myself yearning for some Ferland ice time. If Canes ship out both Faulk and Ferland, then our only guy who would even consider an altercation is McGinn.

Martinook has some sandpaper in him. He'd step up.

 

[Lempo]

Besides Tkachuk, Aho is tied in points to Crosby, Ovechkin and Stamkos.

Some guy Lindholm is a point ahead of them all.

Alright I've got to get my sleep. When I wake up tomorrow I want to see that the road team kept the foot on the gas and had no problems in the final 20. Hang in there boys. God Bless.

Fellas and ladies our squad of icemen finally won in V-town.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

he was talking favorably about ned being a goalie that "wanted the moment" and waxed poetic about his own experience in saying that the reason he wasn't successful as a professional is because in the big moments he was always hoping to not let a soft one in as opposed to wanting to make the huge save that defined the game. really candid moment

Tripp was more emotional and reflective than I remember seeing him. I wanted to give him a hug tbh.

 

[Stickpucker]

The stench of the curse is leaving.

Martinook and McKegg are beautiful men.

Also that El Nino trade looking better by the day. Man what a wrister.

McKegg may find a permanent job on the 4th line eventually, or as a grinding 3rd liner. He works his ass off and knows his way around the offensive zone a bit too.

 

[Stickpucker]

Do you guys feel that Aho could be a 1c on a championship caliber team?

I don't think last year's Backstrom or Kuzy are much better, if at all....so yes he could be 1C on a championship team provided they have good depth.

 

[SaskCanesFan]

I know every team tries to help a teammate get a hat trick, especially with MT Knetter. However, I was impressed that Aho was doing everything he could (TT also) to find Niederreiter on the 5-on-3. Aho also made some short comment to the official after the Williams' embellishment penalty.
Aho is becoming a young star, he is also cementing his role as the next long-time captain.

See I completely disagree with this, they were obvious and basically neutralized the 5 on 3. Thankfully they were up big enough and didn't blow anything, but there was more than enough time left for things to go south, and being as useless as they were on PPs in the 3rd can be a big turning point. That wasn't the time to mess around

Did I miss somewhere what Nino did to set Roussel off?

It's pretty embarrassing to have 0 5v3 goals.

I'd imagine a scenario like that (Ned's first start) hit hard with his father's recent passing. Hopefully he doesn't have any "I wish my dad could have seen me play in the NHL" type thoughts, because the guy has made a hell of a career for himself, and for all his quirkiness seems to be a really solid guy.

No longer virgins?

[Anton Dubinchuk]

He's a bottom 6er when he's up, no doubt about that, but he's teetering on being a legitimate full-time NHLer.

He has 6 points in 11 games with the big club this year. Obviously he won't sustain a 45 point pace over a full season, but if he can consistently put up 10+10 that's got value as a bottom 6er.



Side note: in writing this post I was once again reminded that comparing a call-up's output to Victor Rask this season is a fallacy, as Victor Rask didn't do much to "prove" he was an NHL caliber player this year.

That Elias Patterson guy is good at ice hockey. I am glad he is out west and not with New Jersey or Philadelphia .
