GDT: Carolina Hurricanes VS Washington Capitals

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Yesterday was the first I heard that he was injured as well so it was kept pretty quiet.

 

[Joe McGrath]

There's more posts in this preseason GDT before noon than most games in March the last 8 seasons or so. Optimism is a hell of a drug.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Both optimism and a LONG offseason so our appetite for hockey is higher.

 

[JCLA]

Bean hasn't been returned has he? I find it odd that he hasn't been returned and isn't in the lineup. I understand why he isn't in the lineup just not why he is still on the preseason roster.

it is cathartic. like we are cleaning ourselves of the bad memories of the hcanes vbulletin era into hcanes 2.0, playoff boogaloo

Sounds like somebody's getting those 9 games. Is Stempniak even skating?

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

A couple days ago, it was reported that he hadn't even joined the team yet. Can't see him being ready in a week.

It's nice to not feel tremendous anxiety that 2 of the top-9 are out to start the season.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

We should've just lost him in the expansion draft.

We could've had CONNOR BRICKLEY AND A 5TH ROUND PICK.

Stupid Stempniak.

I'm not loving that TT is out...

But for a few games I'm good with seeing what we've got in one of the kids before Stemp comes back.

Think of this as the beginning of a season-long PGT for Playoff Game 1.

You are now officially our jinx scapegoat if for some reason we don't make the playoffs...

 

[geehaad]

It's always good to have an escape goat.

why is game @ 7:30 instead of 7?

 

[Dishface]

why is game @ 7:30 instead of 7?

ESPN wants time to cover the national anthem.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

i am going to kneel during the anthem and get in a fight

 

[Unsustainable]

Can't kneel for the anthem if they don't play one.

Excuse me sir, you are NOT talking to Derek Ryan.

Friday night "marquee" games usually start at 7:30
