GDT: Pens at Canes

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Wait what? Our victory doesn't count for ROW (=regulation plus overtime wins)? Or does it?

I don’t believe it does

Doesn't. ROW is all wins except S.O.

Correct. Shootout wins give no ROWs. But still 2 valuable points. Just hurts the tiebreaker with the Pens. Someone probably knows whether we have it or not.

Tied at 38 ROW, we lead 4-3 in points from games between with one game left.

Tied at 38 ROW, we lead 4-3 in points from games between.

So if we finish tied with ROW and points we'll have the tiebreaker basically.

Wow, I thought Aho was playing basically every other shift. But he was actually playing more than that.

Brindy is really leaning on him.

when my app updated to show Mrazek stopping Guentzel to end the game, I did a fist pump and made a noise that startled my accountant, who I was meeting with at the time.

I didn't manage to ninja edit in time: we got one mutual game left. If they win it on regular, they got the tie-breaker. If we OTL, we a tied in the tie-breaker and move to goal differential... which they got currently with +28 vs. our +14.

CGY 4, CBJ 2 ... Tkachuk with the ENG

A win like this makes you feel like you are watching a playoff hungry team. Really proud of this win.

Hurricanes Top Penguins in Shootout
By: Michael Smith
It was intense. It was competitive. It was emotional. It was exciting.
It was as big of a match-up as the Hurricanes have had in years and as close to a playoff game as the regular season can provide.
And, to top it all off, the Hurricanes came away victorious in dramatic fashion, no less.
"That's exactly what it was. The whole game was tight. Lots of scoring chances, but not a lot of goals," head coach Rod Brind'Amour said. "Playoff games are always tight and always seem to come right to the end. We got a positive outcome. It was a good effort from both teams."
"It was a well-contested game by both sides. A lot of emotion, which is great," Williams said. "The fun part is, we're playing playoff hockey and it hasn't started yet."
With 120 seconds left in regulation, Brind'Amour called his team's timeout, huddled the group around the whiteboard and scribbled instructions for the ensuing faceoff.
Sidney Crosby was credited with the win on that faceoff, but Nino Niederreiter hopped on the loose puck and swung it up to the point to Dougie Hamilton for the one-timer. Matt Murray made the initial save but couldn't control the rebound.
Enter Captain Clutch.
Williams was Justin-on-the-spot to bang the rebound in the empty net. Tie game.
"He's been doing this all year for us. It was great execution on that," Brind'Amour said. "
"You've always got to believe that you can do it. See it. Think it. Do it," Williams said.

Roman Harper was in attendance tonight.

 

[SaskCanesFan]

I'm sure we'll find at least 2 NC Caniacs for each Canadian to keep you guys drunk 24/7.

I'm very tempted to take you up on this offer...

 

[Dishface]

Just finished the game. Wow, just wow. The refs were, to put it lightly questionable, but we got the job done. Good shit.

 

[Canes]

I'm very tempted to take you up on this offer...

As long as you keep a Carolina boy busy on the prairies... I'm good though... for now.

 

[CandyCanes]

Finally getting to post onto the boards. What a freaking game. One step closer!

 

[Canes]

Roman Harper was in attendance tonight.

I saw this on Twitter and I thought it was so f***ing cool.

Harper was "only" in Carolina for 2 years and is basically from AL/LA, he still seems to like the Canes who are based in Raleigh when he played in Charlotte.

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

Big dick win tonight. It has vengeance stamp of approval.

Also, thanks Flames.
