Hurricanes @ Blues - 8pm EST - Scottrade Center - FS Carolinas

A lazy GDT in honor of our lazy captain Seriously, I don't have photoshop skillz so this is basically what you'll get.

On with the show.

The Carolina Hurricanes have stunned the hockey world, going 4-0-1 in their last five games with much maligned Justin "juicy rebound vezina" Peters and Manny "True Captain" Malholtra leading the way.

As the Canes Trap their way to Lord Stanley's cup, they will be faced with many obstacles along the way.

M.T Knett haunting their nightmares.

The ghost of Chad LaRose causing players to lose the puck on their stick (But really just Semin)

And of course, Eric "lazy Captain" hibernating through the winter, only to be awaken by the Olympics and a Justin Bieber song (wait, Eric probably listens to Celine Dion.)

But no such road block is quite as daunting in nature as is this one :

"Hey guys, wanna go kill some zombies after the game?"

Alexander Steen, the new face of the NHL, future Goal scoring record holder and the man that will make the Canes his ***** faster than John Tavares did welcomes our Hurricanes to the blues city.

In past years, I'd say the Hurricanes were doomed the '5-1' loss. However, this is the new Hurricanes. Where grinding up the boards leads to wonderful chances by Jordan Staal and Pat Dwyer, no longer fanning on great passes.

Where a defense covers up for Peters like they never did for Ward because they hate Ward (I hope Ward is not playing lol)

Where Brett Bellemore will SHUT DOWN Alexander Steen and make him remember that he's not the face of the NHL. Just a decent two way player making little over 3.5M (Less than Tuomo Ruutu)

Where Justin Peters will scare the blues with his bark and his outrageously bad rebounds, forcing the blues to miss the net wide.

All these things will happen and Tripp will say something stupid. Tune in at 8pm!

[Lazyking]

You stole my thunder, dude lol. Not that my GDT is that much better

 

[Swag Surf Aho]

5-1 loss only because I won't be able to watch the game.

 

[Novacane]

Win it.

 

[polarbearcub]

When is skinner expected Back?

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

When is skinner expected Back?

This might be his last game out of the lineup, as tonight was on the table at one point. Either way, he's getting close.

 

[Wild Caniac]

Didnt know we have Ryan MURRAY

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Double GDTs means double effort...right?

 

[tarheelhockey]

This is one of those games where the Hurricanes are likely to get physically abused. Can't say I'm too confident.

 

[HisIceness]

Even getting a point out of this game would be awesome.

 

[What the Faulk]

Not expecting much from this game. We're due for a let down. Hope I'm pleasantly surprised.

 

[tomdundo]

Well, you were 27 minutes past my 6 hours rule.

However, I'll still count this win/loss/whatever under your name, as you still made a GDT.



That said...we're going to get absolutely steamrolled by Steen-Backes-Oshie. Ugh.

 

[What the Faulk]

A win takes them to .500 in terms of points percentage against the West.

Just saying.

5-1 shutout loss. We score an ENG somehow.

 

[TheOllieC]

Murphy out, Gleason in.

Scratching Murph wont help our offensive struggles.

Id scratch Harry or Bells before Murphy

 

[geehaad]

Well, you were 27 minutes past my 6 hours rule.

You're doing an outstanding job managing the GDTs, PE.

Strong work.

 

[Joe McGrath]

This is one of those games where the Hurricanes are likely to get physically abused. Can't say I'm too confident.

At least now Murphy won't get physically abused?

 

[Ole Gil]

Gleason, Komi, Harrison, Bellemore, Hainsey, Faulk, Sekera.

Our defense will not lack size tonight! Slick move by Muller, I think. Give the kid a day off, and load up on size against a physical opponent.

Although, on Muprhy's behalf, he seems to do quite well in the physical spots that he engages in.

 

[tarheelhockey]

At least now Murphy won't get physically abused?

That must be the rationale for scratching him. I think he's been pretty good moving the puck, but defensively he might not match up so well against a team like the Blues. Especially in a road game where Kirk couldn't protect him from bad matchups.

 

[w e l o s t b o y s]

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Wait seriously? Murphy scratched?

At this point I'd rather just sit Gleason.

 

[Gr8Dan]

Why not just scratch Komi and put murph on the 4th line and PP. Makes no sense... Where are our points from the defense come from??

That would be better even.
