News and Notes XVI: RF's Vision Quest

[Boom Boom Apathy]

It seems that there were a lot of NHL "quality" defensemen taken in that draft, and some of them very high end: Doughty, Pietrangelo, Bogosian, Myers, Karlsson, Gardiner, Del Zotto, Carlson, Voynov, Josi, Wiercioch, Schulz, Hamonic, Scandela, Schenn, Sbisa, etc..

According to some chart Luke retweeted ( I don't know how to source) the Canes play an opponent who played the night before (and the Canes are rested) 15 times and the inverse only happens 6 times. That would seem like a pretty decent advantage for the good guys. That said, they'll probably go 5-1 in the games where they aren't rested and 5-10 in the ones they are.

I recall the Canes had a pretty good record last year (at least mid way through the season) in Back to Back games, but I'm not sure how many of them were a case where the other team was rested and how many were cases where the other team was also in a B2B situation.

The split was 10 favorable and 11 unfavorable last year. Really dramatic shift this year.

Do you think Grabovski will be back from injury by then? Or do you think Ryan Strome will be enough to overcome our loss of Jeff Skinner in that fantastic trade we made.

What kind of loser would sit at home watching Hurricanes-Islanders as a third party?

Get up and play Pokemon or something, for ****'s sake. Life is too short.

Both questions are moot, as we'll be well out of the playoff hunt.

That's never stopped me from watching meaningless Hurricanes' games before????

You mean like most games played after the Thanksgiving turkey comes out of the freezer over the last 7 years?

One of my favorite sports quotes. RIP Coach.

I'm surprised Nashville only got two.

How the **** does Montreal get 5?

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Here Skinner is, with his horrible concussion history playing PING PONG!!!! We dodged a bullet there boys. If one of those ping pong balls had struck him in the head, he'd have been lost for the season.

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Yeah, but look how sweaty he is. If he's getting that much of a workout from freaking ping pong obviously his fitness is lacking.

 

[Novacane]

Because it keeps popping up, I am proud to admit I was one of those one hit away people and glad he's become a different player and been healthy. He's more mature and complete and it's great to see

 

[Roboturner913]

will be traded for 3/4 d-man

 

[Wolfpuck]

will be traded for 3/4 d-man

We sure could use one, because Slavin sucks. I mean, I've never even heard of the guy.

 

[Roboturner913]

Yes! About time you Carolina fans start getting it. He's "awful"

 

[NotOpie]

Do I just not understand who or what Danny DeKeyser is?

That just seems like a brutally awful contract. Holland is becoming a mess lol.

Detroit is now over the Cap with Mzarek left to sign. Mrazek just asked for $5 million as his arbitration value. Guess they are going to have to make some moves.

Can Francis double-down on his Cap dump treasure hunt?

Lack + 2nd
for
Nyquist + Howard ($1 million retained)

Isn't Franzen LTIR bound? If so that give's them a little cushion but not enough to sign Mrazek.

Even with Franzen, how is that team above the salary cap. They are a bubble team at best.
