[super6646]

Noooooooo!!!! The shot streak is ded

Seriously, I wish him a speedy recovery.

 

[A Star is Burns]

We gun win it for Doogie

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Slavin is about to get Chabot minutes, maybe more. Pesce will be in Parayko territory, maybe beyond. Hopefully that turns out to be more of an opportunity than a burden for those guys.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Ok, I’ll say it.

Must win.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Any news on Williams? Getting him back in the lineup could be a nice boost to both the players and fans.

Yeah I was a little surprised Slavin was the All-Star pick. Few players in the NHL will be relied upon as heavily as him for the next few months. Guy needs his rest.

Does it count for injured time?

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

These are trying times.

Let us be clear though. How does anyone expect success if everything goes one's way?

THIS IS THE EXACT TIME TO PREVAIL IF WE WANT TO MAKE A STATEMENT. AND PREVAIL WE SHALL.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Does it count for injured time?

It does, unfortunately. Most streaks in the NHL are considered by "team games". It's why Eichel's goal streak earlier this year ended and then was called a "personal" goal streak.

I've always wondered how much production we could get out of Slavin if we used him on the PP more. This is not the ideal way to find out but I'm guessing we still only see him on the 2nd PP at best anyway. Gardiner will probably get the majority of Dougie's minutes.

Can he play defense?

 

[Tryamw]

Can he play defense?

Sure... Of course I can play Defense... the results however may not be good. (Especially if you are talking about me.. Baby foal on the ice level skating )

We used him on the PP last year sometimes.. IIRC with Hamilton didn't really do all that well.

 

[super6646]

Does it count for injured time?

Pretty sure it does unfortunately (depending on what you mean). So if he misses a game it’s finished.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Next man up, guys. Canes can do it, they have the depth to stomach this loss IMO.

 

[SlavinAway]

Has anyone seen a line-up for tonight?

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Give Priskie a call up maybe??

 

[Tryamw]

Dead men skating: my guess is Fluery and sucking it up...

So suck it up Hurricanes..

Aye I expect them to lose... /sigh

 

[Sigurd]

Our star players need to step their damn game up. Too many have been absent or quiet for a while now, and then Hamilton gets injured all during the middle of an absolute struggle to stay at least as a wild card team. Come on Aho, Svechnikov, and I would mention Nino, but he's a lost cause at this point in the season; last year's performance by him won't even come close to being matched.
