One of the Canes most complete overall games in the past month?

Why, what could go wrong with a Canes goalie coming way out of the crease and sticking his head in front of an oncoming player?

I think we won this game, but it sounds like the Isles won handily and the scoreboard is a typo?

The Ottawa game last year with the Tkachuk penalty shot.
I don’t know if that game was better, but it was more memorable

Oh, and the Whalers night vs the Devils last year. Where he hid in the penalty box to avoid the storm surge. That one was probably a better game from him.

I honestly want to see PK play a game without a stick. Given how often he gets rid of it, I feel like it’s holding him back.

Oh he was really good too. I mean when you have a mich more talented team, that plays a more aggresive scheme and much better defense than top that off with a great game from the net minder.
I'm m ot really sure what they were watching.

No after the game the broadcast went from 100% Islanders to Canes are tip 3 team in the east no problem, definite cup contender.
Even noted Isles broadcast person AJ Melseco had the Canes as the 2nd best team in the east.
You couldn't tell any of this by watching the game though.

Sometimes I think maybe I throw stick during save. See how far it goes. Then I think maybe not best idea but it’s fun throwing stick. Good for laugh later.

It's remarkable how good Staal, Martinook and Carrier/Jarvis have been this year.
Out of 83 lines with 100 more minutes together 5v5:
Staal-Martinook-Jarvis:
2nd best in the NHL for xGF%,
4th best in the NHL for CF%
Tied 18th for GF%
7th GA/60
Staal-Martinook-Carrier:
7th best in the NHL for xGF%
2nd best for CF%
tied 18th for GF%
10th GA/60
The kicker is they are doing this against the other team's best competition night in and night out and many of the other lines are much more sheltered.
Great game from Pyotr last night. Hopefully he goes on a hot streak.

You could make the argument that Jordan Staal is a top 5 forward all time for this franchise. You could argue he is as impactful as Eric Staal. It's weird because he really does have hands of stone compared to most NHLers but he's still the best of the best of the best defensively so it doesn't really matter.

I was asking myself last night “Does Jordan Staal get his number retired?”. Gonna be a tough sell for some people on this forum with his lack of offensive production. But if you look at the defensive metrics, that many of us glance over, you do gotta give it some consideration. He’s been a big factor to our sustained success in the Brind’Amour as a coach era.

Sometimes, one doesn't exist without the other. If a guy has great hands/offense, he may not focus as much on other parts of the game, particularly when younger.
That's what makes guys like Datsyuk, Brindy, Bergeron, Barkov, Toews, etc.. so phenomenal. They do/did both.
