News & Notes XLII: Consolidation Season

[Svechhammer]

I think they *are* being pretty clear that they think Kochetkov is ready to be an everyday starter right now. They're trying to kinda hold the door open for Freddie in case he does get healthy, but the confidence the org has been showing in Kochetkov signals pretty clearly to me that he's our starter.

After tonight, they probably need to seriously reconsider this stance, then

Maybe they can use him as both starter and a closer. Then they just need a good middle reliever.

GMDW did a podcast with the Storm Cast during the AS break. he said then he expected in the very near future that we would have a Rod extension to announce.

Many people want a rod extension...some being Hurricanes fans

the lady canes fans......

the lady canes fans......

My guess is that those particular fans would mostly prefer a Rod expansion over a Rod extension.

So many thirsty wiminz on social media over the team.

Short of a trade, I suspect it's going to be PK as the #1

I say he should take the actual #1. Let him do his pad stacks and sliding poke checks, give interviews in a funny accent. Give him some beat up pads and a goofy bucket…

Also shrink him down to 5’8”.

it could become a place where everybody knows your name...

They’re so exited they didn’t proofread

 

[Lempo]

Really should be the Carolinas Hurricane.

NGL that’s pretty cool.

Proof Walt reads HF. No, I'm not Walt.

Since losing 4 straight on that WC road trip (so Dec 12 onward) the Canes have played 23 games:

15-4-4 (3rd best points % in the NHL behind EDM and VAN)
13 Regulation wins (tied for 3rd in the NHL)
15 ROW (3rd in the NHL behind VAN and EDM who have 16)
3.57 GF / GP (5th best in the NHL)
2.43 GA / GP (4th best in the NHL)
47 5v5 GF (tied for 15th)
40 5v5 GA (8th best in the NHL)
36.8% PP (Best in the NHL)
89.3% PK (2nd best in the NHL behind Detroit's 89.5%)
31.5 shots / GP (only 12th best in the NHL)
24.8 shots against / GP (Best in the NHL)
52.8% FOW (6th best in the NHL)

Goalie SV% (> 10 games played)
Kochetkov: .917 (8th best in the NHL out of 40)
Raanta: .888 (tied for 36th in the NHL out of out of 40). And the goalie he's tied with is Shesterkin.

GAA (> 10 games played)
Kochetkov: 2.19 (6th best in the NHL out of 40)
Raanta: 2.50 (11th best in the NHL out of 40)

Defense and special team have been the difference.

Lmao next time let’s just make up a bunch of stats and see how far it travels.

Seth Jarvis - 1st in the league in goals since the beginning of the 2013-2014 season

It was superb analysis and deserved a plug.

What do you think this is, Justin Faulk trade rumors?

Seth Jarvis is also the all-time record holder for goals scored by Seth Jarvis. I’m pretty confident that won’t change, either, as he’s only getting better.

Looking swell in his turtleneck while working the red carpet..

Following his mentor in hopes of being a GM someday.

I’ll be watching. I see Aho 82 times a year and it doesn’t hurt my feelings to see him not in this.

We're not making the playoffs ?

I think they just want to see more Koochie. If Koochie can get in a groove they'll have their awnser.

And he's #2 in all-time Jarvises (NHL version).

I know I’ve felt this same way since I was like 10 years old
