Ghost is the first guy they've had in a while who is an elite shooter AND passer on the PP. Glad to see it's paying immediate dividends, hope it doesn't fizzle out come playoff time
GDT: Two nights after a 9:30 start, YOUR CAROLINA HURRICANES are playing when? Canes v. Lightning Bugs.

Ghost rider buzzing the tower/league with being a power play specialist:
Also, nice hat trick from TT and great performance from KK. Total team domination today against one of the best teams in the league.

And the Rangers, Toronto, Islanders, Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver, Devils, Philly, and Minnesota. Any other big markets that keep us alive that I missed?

LOL. Rod has them all cheering after his speech and then booing after "finish your day with Billy"l.

This game taught us everything that we know is wrong.
Kk sucks.
Turbo won't shoot
Ghost bear was a crappy pick up.
Freddie can't get a shut out.
A top team can't be held to no shots in a period.

Reminds me of school when the teacher was ending class without assigning homework and then remembers right at the end
“We like our guys” has gotta be our playoff motto for better or bitter worse lol.
Congrats Turbo!

He's maybe slightly better than Burns at passing on the PP. And most likely a better shooter at this point in his career. But he's definitely going to "fizzle" out somewhat meaning he won't continue to shoot 40% as a Cane or anywhere close to it.
Don't get me wrong, he's a definite boost for the powerplay but people should probably temper their expectations a bit especially in the playoffs where Ghost has only 5 points in 17 games in his career.

Have to admit, I kind of overlooked what a key addition a QB type defenseman was. Ghost just doesn’t spring to mind as a guy I would want on my team, to be brutally honest, but he fills a niche here that might really change the entire calculus for how teams play against us.
Of course as @Canes just said, he will come back down to earth. But there’s a massive difference between him and Pesce or whatever running a PP unit.

Hey, I will be rooting for the Golden Knights this weekend. Big ECAC playoff series against Cornell!

What a game you guys had today. The Bolts are playing like a team that has played so much hockey over the past 3 years that they are spent. The Canes are playing hungry and full of drive. I saw the same thing after my Bolts got swept by the CBJ's. We all know what happened after that. I am a Lightning and Kraken fan first. I am now living in Alaska since 2010. I just hope that neither the Rags or Boons win the cup.

No. We, in fact, do not have any hall of famers.

He’s also only a few years removed from being a flat out top pairing dman for Philly and found his game again in Arizona (it’s just that no one cared). He’s not a 6D. He’s a 2 or 3D who happens to be on our bottom pair. And being on that bottom pair allows him to play fully to his strengths without being super weighed down by his weaknesses. Not only that, but this system will do nothing but help.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he quickly becomes a fan favorite and we’re making some tough decisions in the offseason regarding re-signing him.

Let's hope Jesse doesn't mess up the chemistry.

I mean, neither do the Habs since the Canes moved to Raleigh so that’s probably more embarrassing.
Although, yes, Price will almost certainly go in one day.
Let’s just hope Rod gets in first

I mean I kind of doubt we would acquire a high-scoring defenseman who rediscovers his game here, and just let him walk away.
Their approach with the defense is how you do it. Don't invest a lot in the bottom pairing to start. 5, 6 and 7 are under $1 mil each. Leverage accrued cap space/deadline retention/LTIR space (in the event of injuries) to bring in a defender paid Top 4 money at the deadline for a playoff run.

We paid a goddamn 3rd in 2026 for Gostisbehere and you act like we gave a PPG center or something.
