GDT: CAR @ NSH EXCERCISE IN POINTLESSNESS

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

We're a team tonight.

In all seriousness, though, it's good to get the boys well-rested and the taxi squad guys some minutes before the big games start. Nashville thinks that they can push us around and make our lives miserable if they can't win with just skill alone.

 

[To Be Determined]

my only complaint about tonight's lineup is that i wish they could have gotten mckeown in, too.

nothing is set until during pre-game, so there's still time to right this wrong.

Brindy's probably looking around for one more "injury" to get him in haha

Yikes, just did my seat selection for Round 1, and there is barely anything available if you're going in with someone else.

Well I know I won’t have anything then. My selection is tomorrow

Who is Face? Or is this just fantasy...

I'm fairly confident the vast majority of our guys (excepting a guy like McGinn that's been out long term) will be ready to go and could play tonight if it "mattered". As for the injuries and being banged up, that's every team right now in most seasons. Especially so in this one.

For a lot of these guys, now is their only shot to show that they should be the first one up if there's an opening to fill during the playoffs. You wanna get your name on the cup? 3 games in the playoffs or 1 in the finals. You wanna get that one game in the finals? You bust your ever loving ass tonight.

Okay, we're holding a lot of skill guys out. But those callups and taxi squad guys will be playing this game like it's Game 7 of the finals.

The limitations on not being able to split up your seats is definitely going to hurt anyone looking to buy multiple strips. Pretty much all that was left in the lower bowl was single seats. I had to get an upper corner just to get in the door.

I have to I am mildly terrified that Ol’ Spice and MRÁZEK SHARE THE ICE.

my selection was at 10am and there was quite a bit to choose from, but i also got a pair in the upper corner because i'm cheap

Nice. I mean don't get me wrong, I'm not going to complain about tickets to the Stanley Cup Playoffs at less than $50 per game after taxes and fees, which includes parking. That's dirt cheap from what I paid back in 2019.

I'm just happy to have secured for every round, if I so choose (I will), and was able to save up a little before we jump back to the lower bowl for future rounds, assuming the state allows it.

Who the eff is "Shore"? Pauly Shore?

 

[Roboturner913]

also, it's official, Rod cares nothing for the President's Trophy

 

[geehaad]

And also actually have an avatar I suppose.

You've inspired me. Besides, it's no longer as cool to be a fanboy of Necas now that he's made it.

 

[Svechhammer]

Now the only question I have, will the Canes allow tailgating for the playoffs. I have not seen a definitive answer anywhere.

Have you been wheezing the juice?

Might have been different if we controlled our own destiny in that regard, but since it's basically hoping Vegas loses out, the smart play is definitely to rest players here.

 

[hblueridgegal]

Sounds like its physical and mental so a week off could rejuvenate them

 

[The Faulker 27]

Rod underselling a bit. I like it. Let them think they may have an advantage.

[To Be Determined]

dang, i figured he was done with quarantine (i had no idea how long it lasted, so i guess i underestimated)

 

[VAcaniac]

If they dont increase capacity, I might have to sacrifice a family member to be able to afford tickets.

Seen Joey Keane play for the London Knights & Barrie Colts.
He's a Right Shot D-Man with excellent mobility and solid toughness.
He could be a 'sleeper' for the 'Canes who fits into Rod's formula for Team Wins.
