Huge test here to see where we're at as a team. Canes just keep rolling and killing shit. Need to play focused on D tonight, LGR

 

[mrmovies779]

Big game tonight against a great team.Time for Chytil and Laf to get back on the stat sheets

 

[Row I Goon]

Hurricanes and divorce are the same in NC - either way someone’s losing a trailer….

 

[will1066]

Expect big time games from Bates Battaglia, Mike Commodore and Curtis Leschyshyn. Special appearance by Arturs "Birdcage" Irbe.

 

[McRanger92]

Good measuring stick game. Happy we have a rested Igor. I wonder if theres any carryover from Trouba stealing souls in the playoffs, but this is a surprisingly different Canes team. Not sure if theyre better though.

I am meeting/hosting a couple of businessmen from Riga in 2 weeks here in Poland. Remind me to ask them about Art Irbe… those Latvians are very passionate about ishockey.

Hope to see the Body back in.

Forwards flying the D zone early on 30/70 pucks ain't gonna cut it against these guys

We like to fly-by and do the poke check and chip it off the guy's blade to go the other way on transition, all in one motion, instead of going direct-line into the puck carrier and bodying him off. It's our thing.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

How many streaks have we ended for other teams, good and bad?

Let's add the Hurricanes to the list.

 

[Larrybiv]

Yeah, obvious tough opponent. Wasn't that long ago we had this teams number. I believe losing only once or twice in 5 years. Mostly a Hank thing. Shesty needs to do similar vs Canes, they will be tough for a decade at least. What we really need is a very solid HOME GAME VICTORY. 3-1 is suffice, but now that I said that it will probably be a 5-4 or 6-5 goal festivus.

Uncanny, huh? Every time there's been a huge streak and Sam has anything to say about it (PP's, no SH goals given up, etc) that streak comes to an end. It's a Sam thing.

How many chances will the Panarin defending blue line backhand shovel puck give up tonight?

I know Panarin and Trocheck are bad from my own eye test, but sheesh Panarin at 4.33.

 

[McRanger92]

Raanta is in trouble

This must be doctored footage, I was told the Rangers veterans don't work on their game

 

[bl02]

Obviously biggest test of the year especially at home where this team tends to play about 50 percent brain power.

 

[cheech70]

Canes got a wake up call in game 7 last year......they needed more offense so lets see if Burns and company are enough

That is unacceptable. I mean... I knew it was bad... but not quite that bad.

I'd also add our 2nd line RW (#74) to that request.....3 points in 18 games.....not really impressive for someone who is supposed to have some offensive talent.
