GDT: Pittsburgh @ Carolina: The Very Well-Rested Back-to-Back

[Blueline Bomber]

Despite having a game yesterday, I don’t think anyone can claim the Canes actually worked in that game, so they should be ready for todays game, right?

And the game is at 6:00 (for some reason), so even less time to dwell on how absolutely awful they were against the Wild.

It’s a rather big game considering Pitt is 8 points behind and a loss puts them only 6 or a canes win and back to 10. Also need to close the gap on jersey who is struggling

Thx in advance.

Hope to see the Canes awake from their slumber and emotional win hangover as Staal put it.

Viewing chances are iffy as we are under an icy winter storm watch with freezing rain and wind gusts. Spectrum and Duke Energy are sending out alerts. After Helene, the wind gives me anxiety so I'd rather watch some ho hum hockey as a distraction.

I halfway think there was sandbagging going on yesterday knowing that they had a game in less than 24 hours that matters more. It was a completely different feel than how engaged they were against the panthers. We’ll see I guess

I kind of wish they had completely punted and started Tokarski yesterday, although I think the schedule works better with Tokarski today and Kochetkov against Tampa and Toronto, then back to Tokarski vs Vancouver.

Let’s start with scoring a goal (that actually counts, sorry Drury).

Every time I'd like to think this same thing here recently, they usually just disappoint. I do get tired of hearing the b2b excuse, because we so often seem to get outplayed or at least evenly matched by other teams who themselves are on a b2b...it definitely comes across as more an "excuse" than the actual "reason"

Carrier, not Jarvis, is out today

That’s fun. The prophecy has been fulfilled.

Do that and they be walking like

Was only a matter of time until carrier got hurt

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Oh right, it's Ned in net for them. Just another reason why we won't score today

 

[CandyCanes]

Torkarski got his Canes gear going tonight

Canes: Remember last night? Don’t do that.

Do the opposite of that
