GDT: flaming

[Blueline Bomber]

Well, that 3rd period could have been better, but a solid win over a very good team overall

 

[Joe McGrath]

They playing the Canes old goal song to celebrate the W?

Good work. Definitely fell off after the 1st, but gritted out a win the rest of the way.

Hurricanes put out fires

To be fair, it's science

Saddledome flooded. Again.

Huge game against a red-hot team. I know it got shaky in the third, but ending streaks like that isn't easy. Huge props to the Canes for getting it done.

A hurricane just rolled through Alberta and wrecked everyone's shit.

4-2 win

4-2 record

 

[Blueline Bomber]

50-3-4 when Seth Jarvis scores a goal.

That seems above average

I thought Burns and Necas had great games tonight. I was worried about that third year when we first acquired Burns, but he has proven to still be effective at even-strength even if he's a couple of steps slower than in his prime. If they find a way to successfully manage his minutes this year, it would not be surprising if Burns returns for at least one more year for cheap in order to pursue the Cup during another big window with Nikishin and a top-6 acquisition.

Great win against a hot team on the road.

Way too early to scoreboard watch but glad to see the rags and devils lose

Burns is a guy who could probably break Gordie Howe's longevity record if he really wanted to. There are physical freaks who train well, and then there's Brent Burns, who maintains a herd of a special breed of deer on his ranch so he can eat the nutritionally perfect meat and is still 2nd on the team in fitness tests at 39.

Oh, absolutely. I know that we have Morrow in our system, but the Canes have the luxury to patiently develop his defensive game if Burns stays an effective player for another couple of seasons. I'm pretty sure that Burns wants to play either until he can't anymore or until he has that Stanley Cup in his hands.
