Dang, was hoping to see Roy, I was really hoping for the chance to see his skating in person, it can be difficult to evaluate on TV. And no Darling is a bummer too. But the ticket was less than the price of a beer, and I'm looking forward to seeing Saarela, Necas, and Gauthier, who are in my mind our three best forward prospects right now.

Excited to see Gauthier tonight. I really hope he pans out. We've never had a massive, physical forward who can score.

He was practicing some stickhandling pregame and looked pretty good on that front too.

Also, the beer at the Verizon Center remains utter crap. Either ****** lager, IPA, or wheat. Nothing in between the extremes. Food is garbage too. Be thankful for what you've got at PNC. Real food and real beer. Shouldn't be that crazy a standard to meet, but...

Noted cheap shot artist and general all around piece of ****ing **** Tom Wilson suspended for tonight's game

While I'm totally on board with this, even though I don't think the hit he threw warranted a suspension, now caps fans are gonna switch the narrative to "but he's not dirty, he's never even been suspended for a regular season game!"

And it's gonna be annoying as ****.

Necas’ pace is already an asset. great passing, puck handling. processes the game at the right speed. I wonder what he could conceivably improve on if he were on the NHL squad this season.

man, could he actually make the club? getting a good look in this game, 5 on 5, PP, maybe even a PK shift?

edit: boxscore says no shorthanded time.

Man, there has been 4 penalties, 2 Caps and 2 Canes and honestly, all 4 have been so ticky-tac, even by the "new enforcement" rules.

Erik Cole wasn't quite Gauthiers size, but I think he was basically that player your talking about. With him being back in the Canes org now I wonder if he could be a good mentor for Gauthier.
