GDT: The Hurricanes Play a Bunch of Senators

[Cardiac Jerks]

Can’t even score on an empty net.

 

[MisterDobz]

Why Staal?

 

[Wolfpuck]

All we’ve got is nothing.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Man, he played like 3 games. Weren't you warning us about small sample sizes earlier in the season over Kooch?

Max Pacioretty has 326 career goals in 825 career games lmao

At least it wasn’t a PPG….

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

This is officially the worst canes game I’ve had the pleasure of attending in person.

I've decided to say "f*** it" tonight, and work out while watching Vision Quest. Maybe I can get down to 168 so I can wrestle Shute. Also no f***ing way that guy was only 168, Shute's a monster.

I’d rather watch pimple popping videos

 

[Peterpuck7810]

Team is hopeless....

 

[LostInaLostWorld]

Pathetic

Meh... Look, we all have heard it before, RBA doesn't really abide by 1st, 2nd, 3rd line status and his usage of Staal shows that. He averages the 5th most TOI per game of any of our forwards, and 2nd for our centers. So yeah, it is problematic when a guy who is used like a Top 6 player doesn't contribute offensively

The issue to me is exactly what Necas said in the pregame interview “we’ve got to play defense and the offense will come” These guys are so tense about not making defensive mistakes they’ve lost all offensive creativity. They’re not playing to beat the other team, they’re playing to keep the other team from beating them. I think it’s one of the reasons they crumble under pressure, our offensive forwards have been neutered.

Watch TT for the rest of the night. They can sustain any offense pressure because even the slightest glimpse of a defenseman close to getting below the dots and they circle out to cover the point. They don’t have any flow, there’s no natural smoothness to it, everything seems forced for TT, Aho, Jarvis and Necas.

Stick a fork in em, they’re done.

 

[VAcaniac]

Amazing how stoic rod is through all of this.

 

[Wolfpuck]

I’d rather watch pimple popping videos

When the pressure is released, that feels so satisfying.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Small victories.

 

[MisterDobz]

Yeah! Offside!

 

[User13452]

Catch a break now wake the F up

 

[Brock Anton]

Martinook hat trick incoming now.

Hat trick of whiffed chances, that is.

 

[VAcaniac]

Catch a break now wake the F up

One would hope but two guys just fanned on an empty net so dont hold your breath.

 

[MisterDobz]

I suspect this will be remembered as the high point of the game…

 

[StorminSnvechnAho]

Svech and ??? Again, don't say Patches bc he played 5 games and we were doing pretty damn good before then...Aho and TT (and to an extent Necas) have basically dropped off a cliff

Last 10 before Svechnikov injury 9-1

Since
7-8-1 Svechnikov brings more than just his goals.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

If ever there was a time for a pp goal, this is it.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Ottawa almost just scored earlier in the game than they would have on the waived off goal that would’ve been so funny lol

 

[Wolfpuck]

Here comes a power play for us to not score on.
