GDT: The Hurricanes Play a Bunch of Senators

[Rick Davis]

OMFG a power play goal!

 

[MisterDobz]

ANOTHER power play goal! This team is DOMINANT!

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Thank god our d decided to score a bunch of goals this year.

ANOTHER power play goal! This team is DOMINANT!

First goal was 4 on 4.

This is ridiculous. Should we put the forwards on the points since they can’t score?

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

It’s on management for not doing enough at the deadline and for thinking martinook fast Stepan and stastny are nhl caliber players

This tired narrative. No one was there after Meier was gone that was worth the price.

Martinook and fast are easily nhl players. Any one guess Stas would fall off? I mean the consensus was pretty thrilled to get him signed at 1.5 million

I was laughed out of a conversation because I said on a pp, park Slavin right in front of goalie with his amazing hand/eye coordination and knocking pucks out of the air.

 

[Svechhammer]

At this point should we just start putting 4 defensemen out there on the PP, they're the only ones who can score

Living and dying by big slappers from the blue line...is a technique.

They do have more familiarity with each other as most have played together consistently unlike the hodgepodge experience of the forwards.

OK back what did I miss?

Freddie!

Liking all my posts.

Everyone wanted to jump off a cliff before they tied it up. Our forwards have no clue how to finish. Aho ducks.

Yup, that about covers it!

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Time for some more pp action.

 

[Rick Davis]

Looks like the team out of the playoffs wants this more…

The air of superiority just rubs me the wrong way. So many of them make the assumption that someone who is simply offering a constructive criticism (not bashing or being ugly) must be a new fan or a bandwagoner. Ignoring that they could just be a realist. Also, they seem to forget in their gatekeeping that a lot of the "new" money is helping to finance the spend to the cap philosophy.

My issue is that I see very few people doing this. I see most people going from extreme to extreme on a monthly basis based on absurd expectations and a refusal to take into account the speed bumps that a top team will go through over the course of a season, let alone over a potential 10-15 year window. I think the team is petering out over the course of the stretch here and is going to have a tough time in the playoffs. So for the most part I’m more in alignment with the people you’re talking about than they’d think. But they’re such obnoxious and emotionally extreme doom and gloomers that there’s no real “agreement” with them. In November we were missing the playoffs. When that didn’t happen, we were a paper tiger. Today we’re sitting at 2nd in the league with 2 games left in the season, fading down the stretch and licking our wounds from a couple of highly critical and unexpected injuries (among other, valid things like goaltending, Corsi not translating to goals, etc), and the folks who’ve been saying we’re terrible and going to miss the playoffs all year are using it as an opportunity for a completely non sequitur of an “I told you so”. And that’s very annoying. I don’t think getting annoyed at those people is the same thing as gatekeeping fandom.

Anxious Florida joining the board tonight! Let's go Canes!

Oh well if it's familiarity we want, then let's get the Jordo line out there with Skjei and Pesce

It's honestly not the worst idea

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Skjei having more goals than all but 3 forwards is hilarious.

Another one for you:

Patches has as many goals or more than Martinook, Ghost, Stepan, JP, Drury, Pesce, and CdH since January 5th

 

[Tryamw]

Jarvis fail

 

[VAcaniac]

Omfg Jarvis. Youll score again, one day.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

5 on 3!
