[Anton Dubinchuk]

Today the slightly above average Hurricanes are playing the way above average Lightning.

Lightning have been on fire. This is going to be another big test. We will not show up and leave our goalie out to dry or will we rise to the occasion? Stay tuned. Discuss.

2 GDTs might as well delete mine.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

We're giving up 5.

4000 in attendance, relocation announced during halftime

This over a bd58 GDT? Might as well not even watch, guaranteed L.

 

[Lucky Lindy]

Kucherov with the Ovechtrick and Stammer with 100 assists.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Mine was merged into his, so this is technically BD58’s GDT

5:0 after first for Tampa, then we come back in 2nd 6:5, but lose 7:6 in OT

The next 2 games are certainly going to challenge the Canes defense and goaltending.

I think I might actually take that. Would be entertaining for sure.

maybe in the end of season I would take that, but if we came back and lost like that, I would be heartbroken in the moment

but Canes gonna Cane

Interesting. I think Aho and Lindy do better with Staal so I like that. Putting Williams on Skinner's line makes that line much more potent and less likely to get hemmed in their zone so I like that. 4th line is fine also.

Until Rask gets out of his funk, there's not much the Canes can do with that line so it's kind of "fitting pieces left over".

I hope the good guys have recovered from the curb stomping they got in Dallas. They came back at the end, but it was curb stomping ugly in the early going.

I'm scared someone hold me.

Preferably a hot woman.

Hard for them to not take away the importance of starting on time from that. It's one thing when you come out flat and get a couple hung on you, it's entirely different when it's 4. And I think Hanifin responds well to discipline, he doesn't seem the pouty type and takes accountability. Hopefully plenty of lessons learned.

I really wish we had a decent playmaking C

Slavin-Pesce shut down Kucherov and Stamkos for 0 goals. Canes lose 6-1. Lone goal scored by Chad LaRose.

I want to see them move Rask to the wing for a game or two and give Aho or Lindholm a chance to play center for a bit. They're both natural centers, and neither can be worse than Rask is right now, so why not try it and see if a simplified game can't help Rask rebuild his effectiveness? I do really like seeing Skinner and Williams together, though. That ought to be fun.
