Now this is what I want to see when our team outshoots the opposition!

Still confused why Pastrnak didn’t go UFA. Boston were arguably beyond their expiration date even before he signed. Surely he gets that same contract if not a better one that had better odds of competing during the totality of the deal he signed.

The idea had crossed my mind to go to the trade board asking for Pastas value when the Bruins blow it up on account of sucking.

But then my soul was warmed just watching this game and I was able to handle the evil temptress that suggested such a classless idea.

Well everyone...

Canes are looking like a supercharged version of themselves. I don't know what it is, but the lineup somehow plays like an optimized, speedier version of the old Canes. Very impressive so far!

Maniscalco should dye his hair blonde since they keep talking about it. I did it for years as a teen and you only have one life to live and I think dying your hair is something everyone should do once in their life. Really fun and life affirming to switch things up like that.

I never dyed my hair but back on the 80's I wore pastels had a white sport coat that I wore in 5th grade and had a perm.

f***ing Miami Vice!

Looking at the November schedule. Canes turn right around and go back to the West Coast again in a week?! Wow.

Awwww you made me think you had started a thread

Definitely didn't have Canes scoring 8 on my bingo card, but that was way more fun than scoring 1 per 20 shots!!

No this game was the Canes Chrismas present to us.

The strength of last year’s roster warped perception of what is needed to be an elite team. 2 years ago, they were a 113 point club. Compare the lineups and tell me what the meaningful difference is. The 2nd pairing isn’t as strong on paper, but that’s a function of rotating money to the 3rd pairing (they went really cheap 2 years ago).

There’s an arms race fallacy in hockey analysis. You see it at the deadline most visibly. It applies here as well. Teams aren’t starting with uniform stock piles.

Stickpucker · 2024-10-31T22:23:25-0400

I thoroughly enjoyed the goal where Martinook posteriorized his man and fed the puck to Rosey.

I thought we might have two hat tricks on the night

I don't think the worries about this season was about the defense, because Tulsky, for all intents and purposes, replaced a premium-2nd pairing by promoting Orlov-Chatfield and then signing a premium-3rd pairing. The much scarier part was replacing Guentzel, Turbo, Noesen, and Fast with Roslovic, Robinson, and Carrier. Very few thought that any of our young guys were all that ready to fill shoes, but Blake surprised everyone and is now projected to be a long-term piece.

Blueline Bomber · 2024-10-31T23:52:46-0400

Well, it only took an hour after the game ended and roughly 2 and a half hours after Orlov specifically stated that it was Blake’s goal, but at least they got it right.

Anyone have video of the storm surge with mini-Jarvis I’ve been reading about? Unfortunately ESPN+ had this game blacked out here in Boston and I had to watch the crappy nesn feed which obviously didn’t show the surge

Guentzel was a piece to put them over the top. They were likely going to finish as a Top 5 team with Bunting in that same role. Some forget about that.

Roslovic is a solid player, just too generic to be notable leaguewide. He’s good enough to bounce around the Top 9, until the deadline at least. That’s what Teravainen was; he peaked years ago. Carrier and Fast are on a comparable tier. Blake offsetting Noesen has been a very pleasant surprise, but they should be okay once the wall hits.

It’s still a very talented team overall.

Eric Robinson feels like the Noesen of this season. Probably won't put up nearly as many points and lacks the PP utility that Noesen has, but at even-strength, they feel like comparable players, and Robinson has the speed-size combination that Noesen lacks. I wouldn't be shocked if the Canes give Robinson a similar sort of 2 year extension after the season is over.

Wolfpuck · 2024-11-01T00:50:39-0400

Just dropping in to comment that the Canes look like a well oiled machine and the Bruins uncharacteristically look like dog water. Perhaps their downfall is finally upon us.

If this is the downfall I've been waiting for about 5 years now, I'm going to revel in this shit.
