Great game last night. Congrats to Teuvo, and good to see Svech back and the big thing is...our defense is back. Including the TB game (which we did lost); we've allowed 5 goals in the last 3 games.
That's the defense we know and love. Let's keep it going. We have 3 big games against Metro opponents coming up. Time to show them who's boss and hopefully our defense will continue to shine like it has been the last 3 games.

Not convinced yet re: D.
Sharks had several golden scoring opportunities that due to incompetence + Antii they didn’t cash in.

That happens to ever team. However for the most part the D collapsed and shut down the Sharks. Im not as concerned about breaks aways and small lapses, the sign of a bad D is when the other team can get to a cycle in your zone and all you can do is chase them until they score. Kinda like our offense did a few times. When they can prevent that from happening which they did that greatly increases your chance of winning.

That's misleading and can be interpreted differently.
Yes, if you replace a minimum salary grinder on the 4th line with a top 6 forward, who is former 2nd OA pick, and power forward who has a history of driving offense since his rookie season on the 4th line, the 4th line will look better.
I suspect that if you removed Drury from that line and left Lemieux and Noesen with Svech, the metrics wouldn't have looked any differently. Svech was driving the play and would have no matter who he played with.
Turbo is the 3rd guy in franchise history with 2 natural hat tricks.
I probably would have guessed estaalo. It would have taken a whole lot of guesses before i got the other one.

Is it a good thing that his motivation might be playing for a new contract?

Maybe, maybe not. But in these trying times we ask questions later.

TB beat SJ 6 -0

“If there’s a problem with the 4th line, it’s that it didn’t have a bonafide All Star winger on it until last night.”
I was thinking the same thing. It’s simply addition.

Yes when you replace a 13th forward with Andrei f***ing Svechnikov your results may improve.

That may technically be advantageous for the Hurricanes in a rental situation. They will accrue well enough cap space at the deadline to swallow the contract in whole. They could be able to negotiate the draft compensation down as a result, especially if there are other players on the Ducks who they prefer to retain salary on.
I don't have any issues with Drury at 4C, however. If they're going to improve that position, I agree with BDC's point about a right-handed defensive center like Jake Evans.

Can't agree entirely on this point...if you only give up 10 chances but they're all breakaway/high-danger chances, that's not really good D either. I'd rather allow a large quantity of low-danger shots than a low quantity of high-danger shots.

No NHL team has a 'perfect' defense. There will always be some holes and lapses. My point is for the last 3 games it was no longer slug fests like it was the prior games.
Our D has gotten better. Is it perfect? No, but I don't expect it to be perfect. If it was perfect it would play mistake free hockey all game and all season.
Our D was not perfect last year. The key is it has improved from the prior 6 games and it started in TB. There have been no more implosions (where our D would give up like 3 or 4 goals in a period, which happened every game on the road trip, with exception of TB.)
Unsustainable
Seth Jarvis has Big Kahunas
Won game we should win, that's nice.
Turbo playing for his next contract. Orlov is figuring out our system

It's just good all around. We don't need to ever worry about the Canes suffering from shiny object syndrome. That's the job of a far worse team with no offensive weapons.

it was crazy enough to send me googling. he scored 59 goals in 540 career regular season games. so he got 10% of his goals in those two games. and they were less than three weeks apart.
