GDT: LOLCanes @ LOLCats

[ChuckW]

Moar goals. Pay them back for opening night.

 

[HisIceness]

Ellis!

 

[Unsustainable]

Peters has been playing great.

 

[Novacane]

Good work by Ellis so far

 

[Beardy*]

I would bet something in the leg, the unpadded back of his left leg was pushed into that post pretty dang hard, and it looked like upper calf or near the knee. Bruise the muscle there, and you're gonna have trouble popping up or sliding as a goalie. I'd also be inclined to think that because Ward thought he would be okay until he tried to push off that leg again.

Hope is something he can play with with a shot of painkillers before each game...

 

[Jerk Newton]

Tipping my hat to Ellis. To come in cold and not at 100% from sickness, he's playing pretty damn well right now.

 

[FlyingSquirrels]

So we all will be gripping tomorrow updating our feeds every minute as to Ward's condition. Great way to spend a Monday!

 

[Unsustainable]

Checkers win 3-2 Peters with 30 saves

 

[Buenos Necas]

Would suck to lose Ward right as our team gets healthy and starts clicking again. This is where having two good goalies helps though, Ellis can carry us for a stretch while Cam heals.

Fortunately, Ellis is a pretty good backup for this purpose

Just for the chance to hear that it's a lower body injury.

This sounds likely. Didn't look like anything stretched or bent out of place. His lower leg just got crushed up against the post. Luckily it was the back, so it's more likely to be a bruise rather than a broken leg.

 

[HisIceness]

Oh no.

 

[Novacane]

Yuck.

 

[sticknpuck]

dammit, don't let them get hot now canes..

 

[Beardy*]

Perfect pass... Nothing you can do

 

[Blueline Bomber]

That was the shift from hell for Jokinen. Miss the pop fly, give up a chance. Go back the other way, miss the net completely. Go the other way, the guy you're covering scores.

I'll save you the trouble. Cam Ward is day to day with a lower body injury. Justin Peters has been recalled from Charlotte.

 

[SeaBasstian]

oh well. not surprised, they were getting a jump.

 

[bb99]

Canes players seem to be growing habits of knocking pucks down at the blue line directly to a player of the other team.

 

[cptjeff]

As long as they can get it to the end of the period without giving up another, they should be able to keep the Panthers from building up too much steam.

 

[Jerk Newton]

Aaaaaand the dreaded lower body injury. Stupid team, be more specific!!

 

[NorthStar4Canes]

If Ellis goes down, Tripp's up.

Is it bad that despite the loss, I really want to see that happen sometime?

No, it would be legendary.
