GDT: I DO NOT HAVE VIOLENT URGES, I HAVE VIOLENT INTENTIONS

[Big Daddy Cane]

which one of Slavin, Orlov or Ghost are you removing, Ghost?

Gostisbehere has played his offside elsewhere.

If he ceases to provide value on the PP, such that he can be replaced by Burns, he becomes scratchable. We’ve seen why the league squeezed him into a modest payday after a 56 point season, these past few weeks.

We’re a good team too but we just got bullied outta the arena and anything short of a cup for us is a failure

That simply isn't the case this year. This was expected to be a transition year after losing a number of players. They were considered to be candidates for a step back this season.

This years team can be successful without winning it all. But i agree getting bullied out of the playoffs would be a continued failure.

Burns just can't be the PP QB anymore....Ghost has done a good job. Problem of course is his size and it showed up today. But, he has played great most of the year so I give him a pass.

Anything short of a cup final would be a failure imo this team is built to win doesn’t matter what people said that they might take a step back the team can still win

Last year we beat Florida 1-0 and then 4-0 in our last two matchups of the season, and their board had this same meltdown. Just FYI lol.

That 1-0 game was the best of the year. Place was electric.

Pytor played great & Aho scored in the last minute.

Our current makeup may not as good versus Fl this year. LY, Skeji and Pesce's size > TY Ghost & Walker

...And then they won the Cup, because they're built for the playoffs. I think this game might indicate we might struggle in that regard

Fun fact - they hadn’t won the Cup yet!

They HAD made the Finals

You got me there

I'm visiting grandma so I'm not watching but it was 2-0 with like 10 minutes left. What the f***?

 

[User13452]

Sam Bennett is what the canes need in the top 6 maybe we can sign if he gets to free agency

 

[Stickpucker]

I thought the game was at 7:30 and just tuned in to see the game is over.

What I miss?

We won! Everyone is happy.

Martin played well, Canes never showed up. Then we gave up one in the 3rd and the floodgates opened.

 

[WreckingCrew]

Glad I missed this one, looks like we had our 4th "implosion" game this year

 

[Stickpucker]

you can blame Martin but Svetch made the mistake, Burns high stick versus just batting it down & then Drury lost the face-off.

Once again, Barkov & 19 just kill us.

Tulsky needs to pull the fancy stats to find who matches up best with them boys

[Stickpucker]

37 isn’t a fighter he’s not gonna fight tkachuk lol

Didn't he take boxing lessons? Maybe we can sign that guy that beat Mike Tyson

 

[Blueline Bomber]

A problem that keeps rearing its ugly head is it’s now 2 months into the season and we’ve not seen a good, consistent Aho or Svech in that time. We’ve had periods, maybe a game, but we’re really going to need them to put on their big boy pants at some point in this season. It’s starting to go past “a slow start.”

 

[HisIceness]

Bro if the Hurricanes lose this game I'm burning that bridge. Then burning the entire Southeast.

I got my torches ready

We got beat by the better team, the one that just won the cup. Not surprising. Our pp went at it hard on the pp just before they scored that one as the clock ran out. It took them seconds and a couple of passes to split us open. Ghost is just as good at the point as he was early on. Shots going in from the point are often a combination of luck and traffic. The guys making the plays down low just can’t spilt a team as well as their guys do. Ghost is the most mobile and active guy on our pp, almost all his passes are timed well and right on the tape and his shots are hard and on net. That’s the job, he’s got the best chemistry with the pp group out of anyone under Rod with the possible exception of Dougie.

It’s December 1st and I expected them to be better than us. Learn from it and move on.
