Which player needs to take a puck to the face next to recalibrate?

I personally think we need to have the forwards line up execution style and let Daniels fire away. That way he can get credit for fixing the offense.

So I see the GWG was preceded by Laine being typically useless in a board battle – against Jarvis who is half his size. He's just not very good at the finer points of hockey, is he.

Everyone wants to trade for him though.

Some people have wanted to shoot a puck at Tony’s face since the day we signed him years ago!

His play has kinda deserved it this year.

Glad to be updated on the parking situation.

You have to kind of wonder if he hadn't looked injured there would he have been able to get open like that. Did the defenders just think he wasn't a threat or something?

never been taught or just doesn't have the "want to" (he did have Tortorella so I presume it's the "want to").

It definitely looks like 44 was caught off guard, which allowed Aho to get by him and essentially create a 2-on-1. And Elvis wasn’t in a good position to defend a 2-on-1, leaving far too much net on the right side for Svech to shoot at.

Whether 44 was caught off guard because of the injury or because the puck popped out of the scrum past him, that’s something only he could tell you.

Or it could be because 44 is Eric Gudbrandsen at he’s been hot garbage his entire career.

did you recently move to the area and are now following the Canes closer or something? not complaining, nice to have you around just curious why a "VaCaps Fan" is hanging around here so much

I just have always liked visiting since I live midway in Richmond, VA between Dc and Raleigh. Also my friend takes me down to Durham for Bulls games.

 

[Derailed75]

That sounds delightful tbh

Depends on the pie!

True. Sometimes we see these boneheaded defensive mistakes on our team. It does feel like on a good team, you tend to get the best out of your guys both by being insulated by a good system and roster, and also by getting confidence and "flow". For example, Brendan Smith wasn't great for this team, but he had stretches of the year where he looked like a passable #5 or a good #6. On Jersey, he's more exposed. Gud might be so slow that he's just awful in any system. I can't tell if he's low replacement level #6 material, or just flat out not an NHLer any more.
