News Article: News & Notes XXXV: You no help me now, I say f*** you Jobu, I do it myself

[tarheelhockey]

I’m just happy he’s referring to it as finalist and not nominee. Outside of the Masterton trophy, I don’t think you get nominated for any of the NHL trophies.

People doing that bugs me WAY more than it should.

If Dougie is one of the Norris nominees, we should resign him.

 

[hblueridgegal]

Someone has some leverage.

 

[dogbazinho]

Sort of implies those that left weren't good people. Dundon reads Art of the Deal I think.

 

[spockBokk]

Not really groundbreaking, but a good listen:

EP 131 - TOM DUNDON on changing the culture of the Carolina Hurricanes

 

[Chrispy]

Someone has some leverage.

I think we all knew Rod had the ability to name his price. It's odd that Dundon is so cavalier about this, but it seems Dundon is willing to pay what he has to once he knows what he has to pay.

It can be a dangerous game if the person is willing to leave. Fortunately, I don't think Rod is interested in leaving so it's really a question of how good an offer Rod receives from a team, or if Rod wants to shut down the talk before that.

That is a very strong statement. Glad to see it.

If Dougie is one of the Norris nominees, we should resign him.

I can't believe you've done this

 

[hblueridgegal]

my goodness

 

[Chrispy]

I can't believe you've done this

I can't believe it took 9 minutes.

If Dougie is one of the Norris nominees, we should resign him.

Why do we want Dougie to resign. I want him to re-sign

 

[Tryamw]

"They have been within a goal for at least one second in the third period"

That's a weirdly tortured way to phrase it, since there was no game where we were within a goal for only one second of the third period.

Here's what I have as our 3rd period "close loss" record:

1/16 @ DET - tied for 8:40, one goal game for 9:24
2/4 @ CHI - tied for 9:38, one goal game for 10:09
2/8 @ CBJ - tied for 15:24, one goal game for 4:36
2/22 vs TBL - tied for 8:04, one goal game for 11:16
2/24 @ TBL - were behind 2+ the entire period
2/25 vs TBL - tied for 6:22, one goal game for 12:22
3/15 @ DET - one goal game for 19:34
3/30 @ CHI - one goal game for 20:00
4/3 vs DAL - tied for 2:52, one goal game for 17:08
4/12 vs DET - tied for 0:24, one goal game for 7:24

So out of a total of 200:00 3rd period minutes that we have played in losses (which is the mind blowing part of this) we have been:
- tied for 51:34
- within one goal for 111:53
- Therefore, within 1 shot of a tie or a lead for 163:27 (82%)

Now here's the even crazier part... 7 of those games ended up being multi-goal losses., and in all 7 of those games, the opponent scored an ENG. We have only lost one game all season by multiple non-ENGs, the 2/24 game against Tampa which was 2-0 going into the third period and ended 3-0.

Which means (and this is the kicker) that not one single time this season has an opponent scored on a guarded net to extend a lead on this team in the 3rd period. Not once in 47 games.

Nice back pocket item

Why do we want Dougie to resign. I want him to re-sign

If we resign him maybe we can make him our assistant captain.

 

[Tryamw]

If we resign him maybe we can make him our assistant captain.

I'd prefer him to keep scoring moar goals for Carolina

Someone has some leverage.

Tom carefully planning his sale of the team back to Karmanos.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Someone has some leverage.

I read that too quickly and thought it said "Rod Brindamour will never be the coach of the team next season."

And I'm like "Damn, Rod, what'd you do to earn that quick turnaround?"

 

[tarheelhockey]

Someone has some leverage.

"The Hurricanes' future in Raleigh hinges entirely on whether Rod Brind'amour is willing to accept my terms on his next contract"

Leverage, you say?

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Negotiation for sport.

It's like cutting coupons, but driving to the grocery store to use them in a Range Rover.

 

[GoldiFox]

irreguardless of Dougles winning a Norris, their is no way he doesnt resign

 

[Lempo]

He should of done it already if he was gonna.

 

[The Faulker 27]

Rod doesn't want to coach somewhere else, and Tom doesn't want to own a team without Rod as HC. Seems like a straight forward situation.

 

[Svechhammer]

Someone has some leverage.

Oh shit, he's selling the team and we're moving to QC

 

[hblueridgegal]

Excellence in action...his calmness under pressure is amazing, too.

 

[AD Skinner]

my goodness

Only one playoff series, against boston in 99, didn't involve Brind'Amour. And that was when the canes were in Greensboro. Rod is Mr Hurricanes

 

[tarheelhockey]

Excellence in action...his calmness under pressure is amazing, too.

That moment when you realize this isn't a career highlight reel, it's just a sample from the past 3 months.

edit: imma post this on the main board, it's worthy of being a thread starter there.

Excellence in action...his calmness under pressure is amazing, too.

this series, while a "highlight" type makes me really hate how offense has become the single most important stat for the top defender.
