Pre-Game Talk: Round 1 - Canes vs Preds

[AD Skinner]

Im surprised by Slavin TBH. Not practicing still sounds a lot worse than a precautionary hold out.

Yeah I'm not liking that news at all. I think they can probably still handle the predators without him but it would be much, much tougher. And I'd feel much less confident about the winner of tampa and Florida if he is still out

Thank you!

Finally playoffs "Confirmed with link"

 

[Gocanes0506]

so we are playing on central time zone typical schedule in Raleigh and eastern time zone typical schedule in Nashville. interesting......

 

[Nikishin al Gaib]

I'm sure this won't backfire

 

[Stanky and Janky]

SMH, should have beseeched instead of implored.

Worth noting that in practice, Gardiner was paired with Hamilton. To me, that would indicate that they do expect Slavin to slide in at some point as things stand.

Surprised people haven't freaked out at the rest of the lines yet.

Well that has disaster written all over it...

That's my point. I'd imagine they'd consider reworking the pairs if Slavin is going to be out. Something to monitor this week.

 

[hblueridgegal]

Sounds a bit more promising.

 

[Tryamw]

We hot games on the docket

Yeah I'm sure these reps from Alamance and Nash Counties, whose Twitter feeds include precisely zero Canes content, are super huge hockey fans and not at all using our team as a platform to take a cheap poke at the governor who coincidentally happens to be from the other party.

Wish they could spill the beans re: what type of injury

 

[Roboturner913]

"Because the other team has more fans" seems like the dumbest-f*** of all dumb-f*** reasons ever to increase capacity in the midst of a global pandemic, but I guess that's just my silly brain

 

[LakeLivin]

Voted Preds in 4 because: reverse psychology. Shooting to be the maximum amount wrong possible.

When your entire political viewpoint right now is denying that the pandemic actually exists, then you can understand why they think this is a super duper valid reason.

That said, if the plan is to allow it on June 1st as it is, not sure the extra week is worth the handwringing. At this point, everyone 16 and over in this area has had access to be fully vaccinated by the time Game 1 is played. If they aren't, that's on them.

Reminder: Amy Galey was the genius who issued a public request for Cooper to completely re-open Alamance County because COVID was not a serious threat in that area.

In April 2020.

I don't want these folks anywhere near PNC, regardless how many people are in the building. Pandemic or no pandemic, I wouldn't trust them to wash their hands.

First bolded statement: But it is just a plan. June 1st could roll around and the levels in the state may have started to increase, so he freezes any relaxation of the rules. The extra couple of weeks allows the data to be more conclusive on which way to go.

Second bolded statement: Not just on them if the Canes allow anyone in the building. If they allow only people with completed vaccination cards, then yeah. But they aren’t going to do that.

Looks like we're wearing black in the playoffs. I like it.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Not going to get in depth on all the factors, but I’ll just say I hope we have increased capacity starting game 1 of this series.

 

[SeaBasstian]

Woo got tickets to game 4 in Nashville! Helps to be living here of.course Those tickets went QUICK! Missed tix to game 3 though sadly. Oh well. Maybe I'll get to see the Canes win the round game 4!!

That'd be a quick turnaround, but I'm sure they've been planning for such things when they get the go-ahead.
