GDT: Chicago @ Carolina—Tuesday, October 15, 7 PM

[Anton Dubinchuk]

And I was kidding as I already pointed out.

Gotcha.

 

[bleedgreen]

The canes hanging helpless in a baby's crib seems all the more poignant after that period.


It's fun watching a good team play though, the hawks are awesome. There's some entertainment value in watching.

 

[NorthStar4Canes]

He's been on the ice for 10 goals against and 0 goals scored. Through 6 and a 1/3rd games. That's not exactly encouraging.

Oh, well that trumps little details like others blowing defensive coverage and soft goals. What an ironclad argument. Totally.

 

[dogbazinho]

Yeah this isn't all on Bellemore but I'll be damn if the puck doesn't stay in our zone when he's on the ice. Staal leadership is also questionable. Ward groin is playing OK. Ruutu compete crashes the net but lost his touch. Our offense is a bit too predictable and it's getting a bit easy to shutdown our cycle. Rush is non-existant but when it happens bad angle shot clears the zone. D NEVER can get the puck to the net which hurts when we have down low presence.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Holy hell, that's not a good statistic.

Not all that surprising since he's a career minor leaguer they are asking to play in the top 4. Not unlike when they do the same with Harrison for God knows what reason. If they didn't have to have Murphy on the team Bellemore/Harrison 3rd pairing wouldn't be terrible.

 

[Identity404]

Is this a good time to bring up that the Canes are 7-1 against the Hawks in their last 8?

Aside from being the slowest pairing in the history of the NHL.

Who blew the assignment when he got beat on the breakaway? Or gave the puck away in front of his own net? Clearly he can't be held accountable for that right?

How the hell did that one happen?

 

[rocky7]

If there was ever a night for the "top line" to come alive...

they aren't pushing............ watch, the moment the Hawks are breaking out all three are at center ice to engage in defense. they are not playing offensive. it is stupid.

 

[Oogie Boogie]

I think I may go back to watching more Ghost In The Shell.

 

[Wolfpuck]

The FB experts are calling for Peters.

I really should've known better than to look.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Well there is that.

 

[HisIceness]

How the hell did that one happen?

Well the Blackhawks were at one time one of the most putrid franchises in the big 4.

Although we have beaten them when they were good ex. the snow game in January 2010.

 

[Joe McGrath]

How the hell did that one happen?

Most of those were when the Blackhawks still sucked.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

The FB page is calling for Peters.

I really should've known better than to look.

$10 says we are too in 2-3 games.

We haven't been much better lately, I say as objectively and painfully as possible.

Sure he can be, but that wasn't the vague, broad brushstroke "stat" you threw out was it.

 

[rocky7]

the Canes are not this bad. they have some very good players to perform far better than this. you are watching a failing system. believe it or not.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Eric Staal is playing terribly in October. Where have I heard that before?

 

[Wolfpuck]

Sad but true.

The thing about Peters is, in four seasons, I haven't seen anything from him to indicate that he'll ever be even a backup NHL goalie.

The FB experts also thinks Faulk sucks ass and want him gone.

 

[cptjeff]

30 NHL teams will generate $200,000 total? Seriously? Honestly, that's a joke. If this was actually about fighting cancer rather than PR, each team could just toss that amount of cash in the pot without a second thought. In the scale of an NHL team's budget...

But we all know that this is a stunt that goes to a fake charity where all the money goes to "raising awareness". Where "raising awareness" apparently only seems to consist of teaching businesses and pro sports teams how painting things pink helps their PR efforts.

Kind of like MLB's flag caps for July 4 where some small, unspecified percentage of the profit from the hats they sold went to help Veterans. Who wants to bet that that percentage was $10 a year and a get well card?

 

[HisIceness]

I actually thought Peters was decent the year we called him up.

Then I saw him constantly give up numerous early 3rd period goals in a row the next and wished we had kept Manny Legace instead.

 

[bleedgreen]

On a lighter note, I'm digging the wing chick in that commercial. Or just the excessive TnA nature of how it was shot. It's like one step away from spicetv. You guys have better commercials than we do here,that's for sure.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Is the broadcast a little jumpy today? Or is it my cable?
