GDT: Flyers @ Hurricanes 5PM

[vwg*]

I'm honestly surprised that Skinner chose to kill 15 seconds rather than go for the empty net.

I felt like a proud father once he just decided to get the puck deep and forecheck rather than chance it for the goal.

That was a good win. They played a balanced and complete game, and played well. Nice to see for once.

 

[rocky7]

YES.......... they deserved it (and last one too) but three points and moving on. wooooohoooooo.

 

[Mr America]

Skinner the best player for us tonight?

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

Not only does Murphy have his first NHL point, but his first awkward NHL interview as well!

Great game by Skinner!

 

[DaveG]

Canes and Pirates win... this has been a pretty good 5 minutes.

 

[Lynk]

That PP makes me sick to my stomach, but I'm happy with the win.

Broncos win too.

Wow! Losing Mcbain, Corvo, and Sangs has made all the difference in the world. Followed by the bottom 6 who can now establish a forecheck! That 3rd and 4th line was awesome! What is everybody's thoughts on Lindholm? Is he ok? I liked what I saw from him tonight.

Our defensive positioning is way better than last season.

Feels good man. FEELS GOOD.

Agreed on all points. Lindholm was substantially better than last game, he helped the 4th line with its cycle game and didn't look too out of place on the PP. Still not sure if 4th line minutes is the best for his development but we'll see what happens over the next few games.

 

[Joe McGrath]

A win is a win. The Flyers look terrible, but the Canes have a GAA under 2.00 after 2 games and 3 of 4 points. Can't ask for a whole lot more than that.

I honestly forgot he existed.

Murphy hip-check

 

[Zezima]

Hope the trade Gleason movement picks up momentum during his absence

 

[HisIceness]

Gotta love puns on NHL.com

Radek-Al Dude! for video of Dvoraks goal.

I am happy when this team wins.

Obvious Caniac is obvious.

Of Lindholm:

- did he take another shift after he 'came back to the bench'? I don't think so.
- wasn't his preseason injury a hand injury? Let's hope that slash didn't re-injure it.

 

[CioCio]

Got home to find only a condensed game available for viewing on GCL. Are the full games normally available once the actual games end, or is it always this condensed crap? I wouldn't mind a condensed format for other teams' games, but not the damn Canes.

Anyways... from reading your comments, I think it's telling the first line only featured once. Star of the show looked to be Skinner, I'd say he was in at least two-thirds on the clips.

I didn't see him, but Muller said post-game that Lindholm came back on the bench in the 3rd saying he was ready to play. And IIRC, it was a shoulder injury, though I'm not sure specifics.

 

[bluedevil58*]

Based on what I saw. if you put Lindholm with a scorer (skinner) goals might happen. He seems like quite the setup kind of guy. But Nash is playing a responsible/solid two-way game. The question arises: Will Nash be able to produce?

Lindholm looked good on the PP with Semin and Eric.

Nash I think will be a two way with not much of a o upside.

He didn't take another shift but he was on the bench. His injury from the prospect camp was a shoulder one. Then he got a hand injury during the training camp. The slash looked to hit the wrist/lower forearm. I don't think it was too severe. Just a stinger most likely.
