GDT: Opening Night: Carolina vs Minnesota, 7pm

[BrindAmours Army]

While I agree it's a bit early to give up on Hanifin, you're overrating him and underrating Carrick if you think he's "infinitely" better. He's got an infinitely higher ceiling, but the jury is still out on Hanifin. I don't care where they were drafted, Hanifin's hockey sense is severely lacking at this point in his career and unless he gets a lot smarter, the comparison will be fair.

I don't think you've seen either player play enough if that's what you think.

By the way, how's Semin doing?

Good to see our GDT is in mid season from.

How long do you think it will be before somebody on the Canes has seven goals. Took Ovechkin 5 periods.

It's what we've been training all off-season for.

I've spotted somebody in Section 330 wearing a Nordiques jersey. Bold move, whomever you are.

Tar and feather the heretic!!

Yeah I'd say he's doing alright eh?

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Coles beard is magnificent.

 

[Novacane]

Maniscalco’s forced laughter is making me uncomfortable

Same that distracted me from anything Cole had to say. So awkward. Yeah, hand him your microphone. No, don't pretend you're in a silent film having to show over the top emotion for the rest of the interview.

 

[vorbis]

maniscalco is “fine” in this particular role but i don’t care for his style at all

[MOD] I watch a lot of hockey. A lot. And I know Carrick wouldn't have been on the wrong side of the play *five* times like Hanifin has been tonight. We'd be winning right now if Carrick started in place of Hanifin. But you just keep believing he's a future Norris candidate, despite *no* evidence of this at the NHL level. The folks who said he peaked at 18 are looking like they knew something, but no, we can't consider that.

And by the way, I only defended Semin in the sense that I thought he was being unfairly scapegoated by Rutherford. Those teams had a ton of issues -- made more clear in retrospect -- but to hear JR talk, Semin was the cancer who killed us. It was bullshit then and it's bullshit now. I railed against his extension at the time it was signed, just like most everyone else.

So I'll take what I can see watching hockey games and leave this board to the [MOD] who can't even consider for a minute that not every Canes prospect is pegged for multiple All-Star games.

 

[AD Skinner]

Bill peters poor daughter looks just like him

 

[dogbazinho]

It's not only Hanifin. We have alot of under achieving first round draft picks.

I get your point of different opinions, but this is just wrong because same and even less goes for Carrick, he has no NHL experience like at all, so you can`t be so sure about him.

 

[Unsustainable]

TVR down

 

[Novacane]

Well at least Fleury has looked steady

 

[Breakdowns]

that was awkward collision with boards

 

[AD Skinner]

Maybe we'll see carrick soon enough

 

[VAcaniac]

This GDT is lit but my hottake:

Babchuk >>> Carrick+Hanifin

 

[Ole Gil]

that was awkward collision with boards

You talking about TVR or Kevin?

 

[Unsustainable]

Kuokkanen hasn’t looked out of place.

 

[Breakdowns]
