GDT: caping

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Nonsense. History from before Brind'Amour and Dundon came on board is absolutely meaningless.

Are you really going to use Karmanos era Canes with spending to the cap minimum as a comparison to now?

Irrelevant sample size bro.

Have the Canes ever won the Stanley Cup? According to BBA - no!

 

[LakeLivin]

When they rebuild the area around the rink they need to rename Karmanos street. Dude was absolute garbage

Well . . . to be fair, he did bring the team here. Without Karmanos there's nothing for Dundon to fix.

is that relative today? According to Anton Dubinchuk, YES!

I get that - I do. But he had to be one of the worst owners in the league.

Between J Staal, Skylar Brind’Amour, Jackson Blake, etc., I’d say we have plenty of relatives today, yes.

You lose all credibility. Jason Blake had nothing to do with the cup win. Neither did Rob Blake, nor Blake Bortles, nor Blake Griffin, nor Robert Blake

I am right, you are wrong, you know nothing about hockey.

 

[HisIceness]

Blake Bortles? On one hand, he almost beat Brady in the playoffs and I respect that. On the other hand, he did a lot of this and was drafted 3rd overall.



Also f*** you NFL for your copyright bullshit

Koochie touch stick, no score

Necas pacing for 147 pts through 12% of the season. He ain’t getting 147, but I think there’s a solid chance we may see our first 100pt player on the Canes since E. Staal’s cup season.

I will settle for 146.

Anything less? Well

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

ONLY WILD AND JETS HAVE BETTER WIN %. 3RD IN CONFERENCE, 6TH OVERALL IN POINTS.
NEČAS IN TOP 10.
ORLOV PLAYS WELL… I MIGHT TOLERATE HIM. THAT WAS A SOLID PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.
THIS WAS A 6 POINT GAME. WE WON, CAPS LOST, WE WON AGAINST CAPS.

I APPROVE OF THE RESULT.

Necas should’ve been a Blue Jacket…

Damn you, Waddell

Necas for Demidov would've been debated for years. It became a moot point because Guentzel decided to go to Tampa instead of taking the Canes offer. In hindsight, Necas was the right guy to keep. I know he was disgruntled at the time, but success clearly heals wounds.

 

[chaz4hockey]

11 has had a bad game. Got to win the face off.

The difference has to be work ethics. Rod is selling and the team is buying.

Restructured team is much faster (new guys- Carrier and Robinson are much faster than Noesen and Walker/Ghost faster than Skjei/Pesce.).

GO TO HELL. HE IS OURS VADIM ILYICH DAVIDOV, YOU HEAR ME.

 

[Svechhammer]

How can you not love Kooch?

 

[gooseygoose]

All Russians do this.

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

All Russians do this.

YOU MEAN GOALIES HAVING HOT AND COLD STRETCHES OF PLAY? LARGELY TRUE IN TERMS OF MOST GOOD RUSSIAN GOALIES (GOOD AS IN NOT GREAT LIKE E.G. SOVIET LEGEND TRETIAK).

 

[Unhinged Finn]

How can you not love Kooch?

Finnish answer to the question would be something like: I watch the game.

Edit: and I meant the question in the tweet.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Just to put some numbers behind my comment that the Canes don't lose a lot of games like this in the past. Since Dundon/Brindy took over in 18-19 (462 games played - not a small sample size).

When leading after 2 periods the Canes record is: 194 - 8 - 15. That's the 5th best winning percentage in the NHL over this stretch.

When leading after 1 period, the Canes record is: 152-13-17. That is the 2nd best winning percentage in the NHL over this stretch.

The 6 seasons before Dundon/Brindy took over (458 games played)?
Leading after 2 periods: 123-13-19 (27th rank winning % in the NHL)
Leading after 1 period: 90-20-23 (28th rank winning % in the NHL).

Not only do the Dundon/Brindy version of the Canes hold onto leads better, they also have a lot more games where they lead after 1 period or 2 periods.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Okay, but what are their records in afternoon games? Or Sunday games?

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Okay, but what are their records in afternoon games? Or Sunday games?

Now you are moving the goal posts and really getting into small sample sizes. Even so, over the past 3 seasons, the Canes have played 28 Sunday games.

Sunday Record: 17-7-4 which is a 111 point pace on Sundays vs. an average of 113 points for 82 games for those 3 seasons combined. Essentially the same.

Final points for the season:
2023-24: 111 points
2022-23: 113 points
2021-22: 116 points

Essentially the same winning rate on Sundays as on any other day. Narratives are hard to break away from on the internet.

It would take way too much work to try and figure out when each game started but the sample sizes would be even smaller and less meaningful.
