GDT: Despite what it looks like outside, we are not playing the Suns tonight, it’s the Stars

[HisIceness]

Imagine outshooting the opponent 25-11 and losing 2-1

#flashbacks

I still have nightmares about it.

 

[LakeLivin]

No. Canes are in 5th place

As last season showed, if there's an imbalance in number of games played they use points %. This is much more indicative of where the Division stands.

 

[LakeLivin]

I'll take it

It is a broken thumb

Those two posts seem contradictory to me.

 

[A Star is Burns]

I'm old enough to remember a few people that thought this lineup would get destroyed. Glad to hear Mrazek may not be as bad as feared. The refs seemed incredibly questionable tonight. Once again, pretty much everyone looked solid at worst, great at best. No matter who can't start the game, or finish it, the guys just keep coming. I wish we could have beaten Oettinger on at least one of the good chances we had on him, but hopefully he got those saves out of his system. Let's do it again tomorrow, minus the bumps and bruises.

Maybe it was dislocated as well as broken, so it was hanging at a janky angle at first but will require relatively simple treatment.

 

[DougieSmash]

I love this team.

 

[Daeavorn]

We just kicked their ass. Holy moly. That was one of the best games I've ever seen us play and we are down like 5 dudes! Now to see if we can beat Columbus.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

We've got to beat them again tomorrow first.

Could be, but no matter how bad it looked at first, a broken thumb would seem to limit the ability to hold a stick. And I'd guess it would likely take weeks for a broken thumb to heal? Here's hoping that's not the case.

We get David Ayres back and we have our deadly netminder tandem back

 

[Dishface]

Yeahhh. I'm glad we laughed at the Jets and didn't trade Necas in a package for Laine

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Laine would've IMO been worth it if the price was just Necas alone, or even, say, Necas and our 2021 2nd. It was the fact that they reportedly asked for Pesce AND Necas that was incredibly laughable. I'm going to go on a limb and say that PLD probably wouldn't net that return from us, either. That PLD-Laine deal was a match made in heaven.

LOL.

I dunno, goalies hurt their fingers semi often and the recovery period seems to vary. I guess a lot will depend on what kind of bracing it needs. Like are we talking about a full break, is it affecting the joint, etc

LOL.

The internet is a weird place man. I don’t get it either.

I get the references (both the "stonks" guy and the "to the moon" phrase) and can appreciate our twitter for being on top of the meme meta.

 

[Highway29]

Just watched the game and I haven't read all pages of this thread yet but how would you feel about reuniting Slavin and Pesce when Slavin returns and keeping Skjei with Dougie? I'd try it.

Other notes I think we have such a great D group right now.

 

[GoldiFox]

LOL.

Search GameStop stock (GME). It was the most shorted stock on the market through COVID. Some say 100%+ of the shares are shorted. Reddit meme investors are short squeezing hedge funds. Started around $3-4 a share. Last week the stock went from $75 up to $500+ at one point. Some think $1000+ next week. Handful of Reddit millionaires created. Elon Musk and Mark Cuban are on Reddit's side. Real shady stuff going down on the broker side to try and kill it.

Pretty savvy for Canes twitter. It's definitely the "thing" right now.

I think you may have missed the multiple pages where this was already discussed in the off topic thread. In fact, I think Hank even said he bought a couple shares.

what i think people may not have gotten was the stonks part. I didn’t until I looked it up.

Jared Goff won a playoff game with a broken thumb 12 days post surgery ... so ... hopefully it’s like that!!!

Do you even Hurricanes Lounge, bro?

 

[NotOpie]

Bean with more bobbles. Cmon kid, get the hands at the same speed as the feet.

I thought Bean looked much better in this game than the one prior. He still had a bobble or two in his own zone, but he was more decisive and defended pretty well (only saw one "oops").

"all is not yet lost"

You don't.

Seems to me Warren Foegele is going to have to earn his way back into the line up.

Skjei's so much more of a workhorse than I anticipated when we first got him.

Had the most minutes last night.

lol that is a thread I never go into. I will take my diamond hands that way.

That stonks meme is just one of the main ones they use.

The season really starts today. 18-19 (4-1 start) 19-20 (5-0) start. Both seasons the Canes were on the bubble at the 56-game mark.

I always thought that trade was highway robbery when it first happened, and today confirms a lot of that sentiment.

Haula was part of that trade. Last season when he had 4 goals the first 5 games then 7 the first 9 he was a steal and the answer at 2C. I was a Trocheck skeptic, he is starting to convince me. Still, 5 games doesn't warrant "highway robbery."
