GDT: Tampa @ Canes

[tarheelhockey]

You know what? I choose optimism.

C’mon boys, we can still win this!

 

[Canes]

To win a cup we need Svech to develop that killer goal scorer's instinct, and we need him to not have an ACL tear. We need a second goal first guy and we need him to not have an Achilles tear.

End of the day, there's only so much you can do when two of your most talented forwards go down.

I get Pacioretty but Dundell and the borg can't use Svech's injury as an excuse

Killorn mercy goal Killorn

This regular season can't end soon enough

Sadly It would not surprise me if we find the Rangers in the first round. If that's the case... sheesh good luck to this canes squad.

 

[Wolfpuck]

I can’t wait to see what Moneypuck bullshit we pull off this summer to “win the off-season.”

 

[tarheelhockey]

Guys in the nosebleeds are literally cheering and chanting “Over! Over! Over!”

Welcome to the gambling era.

I choose realism. As in, we're going to have the same problems next season, and we'll go into the trade deadline with the same or similar excuse to do exclusively moneypuck type moves.

No reason with the schedule upcoming they shouldn’t win the division 5-4 record should secure it

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

When it rains it pours. Is he an impact player like Svech or Patches? No. But he’s an important depth piece which is even more crucial because of the aforementioned injuries.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Oh no we suck again

On average a team is only going to win a cup every 32 years. It's really hard and a lot of things have to go exactly right.

Being competitive is all you can ask. If you're competitive, you can live in hope of a run where everything goes right. Choose hope.

 

[tarheelhockey]

1:15 left, if we can get up the ice and score in the next 15 seconds we only need to average a goal every 20 seconds to tie and go to OT where we can win!

 

[Svechhammer]

Honestly, I don't expect them to make it out of the first round in the playoffs. I don't know where the goals are going to come from and the goalies just aren't good enough.

This is a wasted season with the injuries we have, but I hope it gives the front office a little more urgency to make this happen, because the good times aren't going to last forever.

 

[HisIceness]

I'm not going to beat the horse to death regarding the TDL but the FO needs to address the lack of goal-scoring this offseason.

 

[User13452]

Guy went for a 7th round pick still don’t understand why Carolina wasn’t in on him

Woof. On to the next one.

I enjoy being relevant. It certainly does beat the Dark Ages of this franchise. I'm just starting to kind of get Barry Trotz in Nashville vibes from this team. We play very sound, fundamental hockey. But when we predictably can't score it wears on you.

Because we liked our group

 

[WreckingCrew]

Sad to think the first period of this game was the Canes best...

In other news, Rags pwning Cbus 6-2

 

[User13452]

Because we liked our group

Lmao ya first line martinook is awesome!!!

 

[tarheelhockey]

Well that wasn’t not a waste of 3 hours.

 

[MisterDobz]

Is It over yet?

Eh, if we can clean up down the stretch we've got against weaker teams and win the Metro I think we can handle the Isles or Pens pretty handily even in our diminished state. Once you hit the Rangers or the Devils, it gets dicey. Maybe we get past the Devils due to their playoff inexperience. But then you're hitting the Bruins in all likelihood, and I don't see any chance of getting by them this year.

They can beat the islanders but it won’t be easy sorokin can steal games very easily. Might almost be better to matchup against Pittsburgh with their uncertainty in net

TB was finishing checks until time expired, and the Canes…hugged them gently into the boards, if any contact was made at all.
