That may have been the worst one period that I’ve ever seen the canes play.
Don't worry Brindy will tell them they need to play better at intermission and they'll finally realize they need to get it together.

There's nothing wrong with the roster construction. It's not fundamentally flawed at all. They just need to be better, it'll miraculously happen, just wait, it'll come

I surely hope any chance of this FO stupidly giving Pesce any type of extension has gone out the window now. Dude has lost several steps.
They might have made a mistake in not taking whatever they could get for him this summer. We can't keep him next year for what he wants, and he is pretty rough out there this year for us right now. Not great

Even if we didn't get anything for him I'm glad they didn't give him any extension.
His play this year is going cost him millions. Aged out, injured, playing soft to stay healthy who knows but it’s bad.

I’d sign skjei though.

I actually think this first period was worse. That game was pretty much over after the second this one was over within a minute
We should query the internet :)

Lundqvist explained it as simple as I’ve heard it explained. There’s a reason teams don’t play MTM defense like the Canes. Because if one or two guys have an off night the whole team looks like shit.

The Hurricanes have overcome this by working their asses off but age is age, and they’ve got a few guys who are entering the high mileage era of their careers.

Pesce might look bad against teams top lines. TDA looks bad against 3rd and 4th lines. The dude is a disaster defensively playing against lower lines
Unfortunately true. We need someone from a trade or from the farm.

Challenge is going into the year I preferred to trade assets for a scorer; not a goalie or a defenseman.

I want Jack Campbell like I want an irritating itch.

In other words, not at all.

I've seen the highlights on your guys too. Not great all around. Feels like all four of our guys are typically the 4th or 5th best goaltender in the rink on any given night.
