Meh not that scary anymore
They're still a very good team. How the Canes play, they don't really need name brand players on lines 2-4. They just need guys to commit to RBA's system. And that's what they have.

People in the offseason were saying the Canes were massive losers and going to take a step back. I didn't really think so. They're 5-2 and one of those games was just a normal Canes loss where they absolutely blitzed the Blues but got goalied (both ways).
At first glance it looks like that, and they aren't what they were.

But that third line is a buzz saw with some skill and Drury and Carrier are both big, strong, and hard to create space against.

The D's demise has also been exaggerated.

I predict a win but only if we play really well, Carolina won't be handing us anything.
Drury and Carrier are low key useful players. Seth Jarvis is a two-way demon.

The blueline has basically been humming along without any interruption. If anything, Ghost gives them an element that they didn't have last season.

They play a certain way because of RBA and get the results.

I have Lankinen, Skinner and Hill in my fantasy all playing today and I have to bench one.

I don't want to bet against our dudes but we have the toughest matchup.

I have Hill too - there’s a chance Samsonov plays so you might have to wait til closer to game time (who knows)

Otherwise, yeah I’d play Skinner and Hill. Two hot ish teams. We usually play either great or terrible against Carolina so I’d play the odds

heck
Hoglander is scoring this game according to the agenda. His S% is down to 15.4, well below the 20% it's supposed to be.

I would guess Silovs gets the NJ game. No b2b for a while so need to get him into a game. Closing in on 2 weeks by then.

this will be a good test for that brannstrom/desharnais pairing. if they can be effective against the carolina forecheck they are probably for real

Agreed. Key to success will be Desharnais getting it to Brannstrom and Brannstrom breaking it out quickly. They’ll get into trouble if they can’t get it out cleanly. Carolina loves to pressure hard and force you to dump it off the wall so they can collect it and re enter.
