GDT: Canes vs Rags - This is where the fun begins

[MinJaBen]

That 2nd line will start something like 75% O zone.

I'll take the over.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Being able to run those lines is a reason I want home ice for the playoffs. We can afford to do that at home and be fine defensively with matchups. Will be much much tougher on the road. But I don't see any reason to push too hard to try to get home ice. If we can get it just by continuing to do what we've been doing (resting guys who are slightly banged up, spreading ice time across the entire lineup somewhat evenly, etc.) then awesome. If not, I'm still confident we can do fine on the road in the playoffs.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Is this one of those completely meaningless games in March?

Only if we lose.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

It's literally the antithesis of everything RBA coaches. All offense, no defense. I give it until the first goal against before they're separated.

Well, it’s 3 guys who have never been RBA’s guys before.

 

[Bunch of Jurcos]

The Chaos Line. Who knew the "Cause Chaos" tagline would be so prophetic? They should pair this line with the D pairing of Orlov-TDA.

Do you want Rod to have a stroke because that's how Rod is gonna have a stroke.

 

[Tryamw]

It's happening



Svech-Aho-Turbo
Guentzel-Kuz-Necas
Martinook-Staal-Jarvis
Noesen-KK-Fast

Chaos Line engaged!.

 

[Derailed75]

The best defense is a good offense. Can't score on us if they can't get the puck out of their own end

 

[MinJaBen]

Only if we lose.

I think you got that backwards.

If we win, cool I guess. If we lose, the season is over and heads need to roll....fire everyone and blow it up.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

I mean, look. That's the 2nd line everyone has been saying we need for years. And that doesn't even have Jarvis in it.

Damn. The impact of our deadline hadn't really hit me until I saw those lines posted.

 

[hblueridgegal]

Guentzel with Kuzy and Nachos is going to be an adventure.

How long will it last...hope it's a good showing. Let's take care of business. Family pride is one the line.

 

[Bunch of Jurcos]

Is this the best lineup we've iced since at least 09, maybe 06?

 

[hblueridgegal]

 

[Borsig]

My guess is that if Trouba and Rempe are out Guentz starts, If not, Lemeiux.

 

[Svechhammer]

I mean hell, if Kuzy gets back to his normal self for the playoffs, its the 1st line that everyone has been saying we've needed for years.

We removed Bunting from the lineup and added 2 elite offensive performers to create a brand new 2nd line with the best pure offensive threat the team had before the deadline. And this gives us 2 seriously good offensive lines, a 3rd line that will grind the hell out of you but also has Jarvis just to score on you as well in case you try to overlook them, and a 4th line that should be a matchup problem against anyone we face.

Oh, and we still play the best team defense in the league, and our goaltending is anchored by a return from medical condition Freddie that was out so long this year that he's not really in any danger of hitting the 40 game mark that usually sees his health come back into question.

This roster is seriously good. Just need to stay healthy and its our best chance at a Cup since 2006.

Cherry on top, wait until Jack Drury gets back!

 

[Unsustainable]

Said Rod Brind'Amour never.

 

[Cormag001]

Can't remember the last time I anticipated a game like tonight's...

Huge for the division lead and the Canes biggest acquisition of however long making his debut

I'm way too excited about the Guentzel / Kuznetsov / Necas line

Has the potential to be an amazing night in PNC

Rempe Suspended
Kuzy Guentzel score a goal
Rangers fans big mad

I don’t think Rod cares about those two. If Guentzel is ready he’ll go regardless

Wrong input. NO MENTION OF ORLOV

 

[Svechhammer]

Just remember, if you encounter any Rags fans trying to defend Rempe's actions today, just ask them how Chytl is doing and if he's been able to see sunlight, yet.

 

[Weltschmerz]

Is Guentzel really that bad defensly? What I have seen from pens fans they say he is good all around and they surely did not better on defense when Guentzel was out.
