Given that he sat for a good while it could be just something like a groin tweak due to rust. That's what I'm hoping anyway

One game closer to Ned being a RFA instead of UFA this summer

By the way, how do we pronounce the new D-man's name? Is it Joe - keem or hwaa - keem?
I'm not to sure about that. I think I remember them saying last year and this year that they often plan out who starts and who sits ahead of time. Rod can always overturn that, but I remember him saying he leaves that up the the goalie coach(s).

Just keep winning games until they put all them letters at the end of the alphabet next to your name in the standings.
No Petr. No Skjei.....no problem.

I'm not sure if this will end up being the biggest game of the regular season, but it'll probably end up in the top-5.
Must win? No. Would really really like to win? Yes.

I don't think this one is any more important than the next game against them. We really just need to at least split, ideally without giving them an OT/SO point. Obviously 2 regulation wins is ideal but a split with equal points is completely fine too. These 2 games taken together are definitely the most important for the rest of the regular season, though I'd probably put the Tampa games above the Florida games. Tampa's always seemed like the bigger threat for the 1 seed, and frankly I think they still are...

I dont think we could have any "must wins" without a few losses for the rest of this season. We are in the drivers seat heading into the stretch. One loss isnt gonna cause us a problem. As far as seeding is concerned it doesnt really matter much this year. Sure the guys sleeping in their own beds 1 more time is nice and may boost the team a little but really isnt going to make much of a difference without the full power of a loaded PNC. I feel like we are heading straight for a 7 game series against Tampa anyway we look at it.

Regulation wins by the Canes tonight and Saturday, and we're assessing whether or not we want to change up the banner design when we hang at least the division champs one at the beginning of next season.
Seriously, that means we'd be up 4 points in the standings with Florida only having 7 games left to our 9. And with Tampa 3 back right now with them already playing 1 more game than us and with them both still having 2 games left against each other?
In reality, one regulation win either tonight or Saturday makes it really tough for us to be caught.
Hey guys Score Moar goals!. Preferably in regulation
Give it to the Canes just before the game then Hand them a can opener and tell them they know what to do. Just don't give it to McCormick we know what he'll do with it.. And Who let him on the Ice with Petr again?

I don't necessarily 100% agree, right now we'd be facing Nashville (or Dallas potentially?) which is preferable to Tampa or Florida. If that #4 ends up Chicago it's more of a crapshoot given how we play against them. I'd also rather play FLA than Tampa get gen how we play against them, but that would require su both to fall and Tampa to pass. That said, it's still such a crapshoot who will be in the #3 & #4 spots that you can't play to that. Play to win, but don't kill yourselves to do it, and most importantly, DON'T GET HURT.
I see us going 7-4 with loses to one of either FL or Dallas, the, of course, a loss to CLB, one to Nashville, and one of the Chicago tilts.
You have us beating Detroit? Claps hands that's going against the grain.
So we are losing both? Good to know...
Down In The Southeastern state of North Carolina
I Fell In Love With a Team called the Canes
Night-time Would Find Me In the local Cantina
Hoping this year they would meet Stanley’s test
Redder than red were the crowds of PNC Arena,
Cheering and screaming while casting a spell.
My fandom increased due to oddballs from HFBoards;
Was my love but in vain, perhaps, but oh what the hell.
One night a wild young Defenceman came in,
Wild as the Cold Finnish wind.
Dashing and daring,
Rare offence he was sharing
With all of the Canes,
The Team that I loved.
So, as a fan I
Accepted him as our own so long as he helped us
Patiently waiting to see how he'd do
My expectations have already been met,
Come playoff time I believe Jani will be true
As for this season, I've wrestled with conflict
So many Teams from the Country I Love
They made a Division and put all of us in there
But I've added other Teams as I said above.
We started out strong and then had ups & downs
But then up the standings, we ran,
Followed by the Panthers, right behind
Tonight be a good one, Press give Canes a fair run.
Hope the Boys cast them aside
Just as fast as I
Can switch my channel from NHL Network
To the familiar sound of Channel of Jerks
Back with a good broadcast my viewing is fun now
Everything's gone in life; I’m just watching my Canes
It seems so long since I've seen our young players
Tonight versus Panthers who should expect pain
Anthem is sung and away we go
With a drop of the puck the game begins
Skating and shooting, for Canes I am rooting
Nothing is worse than a Florida Win
And after the First we
Are trailing the dreaded Florida Panthers
I can see the panel shilling their lords
My fandom is strong and it pushes me onward.
I simply hit mute and catch up on HFBoards
Starting the Second I see we fall behind further
Soon it’s by three and lucky it wasn’t by four
Shouting and cursing, I can’t believe this is happening
When Svech passes to Aho scoring back door
The Game is starting to switch for I feel
Momentum is now on our side.
Now here comes Necas
Thankfully still in the lineup,
Scoring the next one
Celebrating with pride
But, we’re still down
Headed into the Third, and the refs are not helping
Though the Boys may be rusty they can't stop to rest.
I see the puck come off Dougie’s stick like a rifle
And the goal light goes on as it enters the net.
With a minute to go the Boys are buzzing the Panthers
Who are holding on for overtime
Svechnikov has other plans as he roofs it
Thanks for coming Florida Cats, good-night

The key for me is that if we drop this one, we're playing catch-up and Florida has a chance to put their foot on our throat for the division title in Game 2. That's a pretty big psychological difference than being truly in the driver's seat heading into that game.

That's fair but I don't think that's a huge factor. I mean look at the recent Tampa series, we dropped the first one and could easily have been in need of playing catch up if Tampa "put their foot on our throat" but with our backs kind of against the wall in the 2nd game we dominated them. I wouldn't be that concerned even if we do drop this one, this team doesn't seem the type to cave into pressure of FL trying to put their foot on our throat...
Question is whether we can play 2 intense games in a row....team expended a lot of effort-capital to win the other night.
Ned will need to be on his game tonight.....Cats fans saying Bennett will stifle Trochek.

I understand that thought however did you think we would take out the defending camps? Or that the Jackets would sweep the Bolts. Playoffs are a different animal. The only thing we need to do is play our game and make the dance. So there's not really a must win in our future till the dance
