Good thing they didn't ask me because I don't know who any of those drivers are
Wait Andretti retired? Fine, I'll go with Sebastian Vettel

We're doing pretty good, except for allowing too many good chances on the PK.
Edmonton's PK is my favorite here though. 32nd and 1st.

What is striking to me is our GF and xGF ranking at even strength is the same. What we are seeing right now this year is what the BrindAmour offensive attack can be when played to potential.

And the Rangers is almost exactly opposite. 3rd in GA/60, 31st in xGA/60.
I guess it's the Shesterkin effect.

Is it in Edmonton's case an effect formely known as the Darling effect then?

I’ll take Chatfield for a $100…that spill he took pregame a few games back was nasty.

So, just went back and looked at our 3 "epic collapse" periods (STL, COL, UTAH)...11 GA (28% of our GA this season) scored in just a hair over 15 min. Just shows that when you completely forget how to hockey things can get ugly in a hurry against even "bad" NHL teams (COL & Utah are 1 point over .500, STL is <.500)

So I guess that means Martin for both games. Yeesh...
With < 24 hours between the start of both games. Not ideal.

I know we were able to tread water momentarily last year when we needed Martin to bail us out, but if we are looking to be without Freddie and Kooch for any extended period, I just don't trust him to do the same for us this year.
This situation is pretty much why I don't want to bring Freddie back once his contract expires. He's made of glass, and you almost know you're going to eventually need to start a AHL goalie if Kooch gets hurt. When he's healthy he can be great, but that juice might not be worth the squeeze going forward.

Freddie is no longer week to week, he is out "way longer"

Hopefully it's not blood clots again.
Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen to be out 'way longer' than initially expected
The Carolina Hurricanes will be without goaltender Frederik Andersen for the foreseeable future.
Jarvy expected back soon.

Playoff panic has reared its ugly head again on socials. Seems like there's a lot of runway left for all kinds of things to happen..both, good and bad. The fun run kinda spoiled us perhaps.

Considering Freddie was originally "minor" and "day-to-day", I totally expect all 3 now to be out for weeks or months
