Rod is loyal to Svech.
However, Blake is playing very well. Try him.
Wonder how long Jarvy will be on the side-lines?
Hopefully jarvy is not going to be a walking wounded like last year. But, since it’s a UBI you have to worry that he re-injured his shoulder again.

Rabble rabble, can’t score in shootout. LACK OF FINISH!

Team is 3rd in the league in goals scored per game.

Well, as you pointed out earlier, goalscoring ability doesn’t always translate to the shootout.

We are terrible in the shootout. We have been for many, many years. RBA has said he doesn’t see the value in practicing them and it’s obvious in some of the attempts we’ve had over the years, the players have zero confidence in them as well.

Now whether that’s some to worry about or not is a different matter, but it has likely cost us a few games over the years.

I don’t think so. Too big of wildcards I guess? If you wanted to end it one way or another Orlov would be a great choice.

Yeah, I can see that. And Orlov definitely had a few questionable moments this game. But so did Ghost, and he was out there problem.

Pyotr Kochetkov Exits Game With Apparent Injury​

The 25-year-old netminder was a victim of friendly fire in overtime against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
  • RYAN HENKEL
  • As if things couldn't get any worse for the Carolina Hurricanes in regards to their current goaltending situation, goalie Pyotr Kochetkov left Saturday night's game against the Columbus Blue Jackets early after getting blown up by his own defenseman Sean Walker.

Nearly three minutes into overtime of the 4-4 game, Kochetkov came out to challenge a puck as Zach Werenski and Walker bore down on him and the Russian netminder was unable to get out of the way.

Walker's backside made direct and forceful contact with Kochetkov's head and the goalie stayed down on the ice not moving for a good while.

Its hard to argue with Rod that there is little value in practicing the shootout. Its game #20 and this is the first one. You get maybe 1full practice a week during the season? It’s just not worth it.

Edit: And since Rod took over they are 18-14 in the shootout. 7th in the league % wise.

14 shootout losses (maybe 15 now). So 14 or 15 dropped points in 7 seasons? 2 points a year? Very very insignificant.

Just to put an exclamation point on this: the Hurricanes have now been in 33 shootouts since Rod Brind’amour became the coach. They have won 38 playoff games in that time.

Shootouts. Don’t. Mean. Shit.
