GDT: burly midwestern hockeymen from ohio penetrate small, skillful hockeymens tight d

[Maylo]

I'll take a guaranteed 1-2 points. Canes have zero chance of catching Columbus. Bobrovsky is putting up even better numbers this season than last year's Vezina campaign.

Bob is sitting tonight, you will have Korpi Big Rebound.

 

[Primetime8]

Hockey-Reference shows the Canes have played the hardest schedule so far this year.

Yeah but we lost to the Coyotes so...

Shutout confirmed

If only someone from Carolina were in front of the net.

Yeah, probably because the teams we played have favorable records simply because they played the Canes

No need, just park someone in FO circle he will put it right there on tape.

I'm excited about this, but I meant "Canes aren't catching Columbus" in terms of a Playoff spot.

Normally I wouldn't be so excited about ceding a point to a Division rival. In this case I don't think it matters too much.

 

[geehaad]

Wow...gifting us with the Korpse. Expectations just crept upward, so...shutout incoming.

Hey now, you averaged 3 goals per game in your last 10 games, We score 1 damn goal and then they job is done, you turn Bob! And if Bob is giving up two they are terrified. what?! we have to score two now?!

Bottom line-easy win for you tonight.
BTW what's wrong with your PK this year? only #22? it was elite last season.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

no mcclement or hainsey

LOL...you clearly know nothing about Carolina Hurricanes hockey.

EDIT: re the PK, a couple of things.

1) They've only had 29 times being short handed, so sample size is still very small. 2 or 3 goals swings the PK% by 10%.
2) Loss of Hainsey definitely plays a role until guys like TVR or Fleury can come up to speed.
3) New guys. Kruger should be a good PKr, but the PK also has a lot to do with chemistry with guys on the ice with you.

A few years ago when the Canes lost Dwyer and some other guys, the PK struggled early but eventually got back on track. I suspect that will be the same here, at least I hope it will.

Au contraire, predicting an easy win and then crushing our hopes is the very essence of Canes hockey.

 

[NotOpie]

Sounds like it's going to be a very sexual game.

I, for one, can't wait. About time this team tries something new.

So in an attempt to get better, the Canes will explore...

Nah, it's just the "preemptive excuse approach". Use excuses to say it's an easy win for your opponent before the game and it both softens the blow if your team loses and makes the other team's fans not feel as good about the win. If your team does win, you not only get the good feeling of a win, but get to make the opponents fans feel worse for losing a game that should have been an easy win.

Classic technique.

 

[Breakdowns]

Philly have lost 8 games straight and we are only 1 point ahead of them (2 games in hand)

That last one would be even more relevant if it weren't for the fact it seems that Kruger is the one in the box half the time. The other 70% of the time it is Williams.

 

[Lucky Lindy]

Have fun.

Hope to see a W when I wake up tomorrow.

Haven't looked at the numbers, but wasn't our PK goalie save % off the charts ridiculous last season, particularly relative to this season?
