Now who would be so silly as to fire John Tortorella?

 

[Roboturner913]

The hilarity that ensues on another team's board anytime we beat them is priceless. OK yeah, we suck, but it's about a .500 team over any reasonable time frame you look at, it's like totally not out of the realm of possibility that a given team on a given night would lose a game to the Canes.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

it also doesn't help that we look a lot worse in the standings purely due to hardly playing any games compared to the other teams

 

[Novacane]

I was at a bar a few miles away from the arena and drank a few beers in their honor

We do the same thing. All fanbases do it.

Fans of all sports like to pretend that there isn't another team on the other side of the field trying just as much to win as your team or that luck doesn't play a role in determining the outcome of a game.

We basically cry about losing to lottery teams tbf.

Penguinz crai when they lose to the caps or cap cry when they lose to tbl....

I'm not talking about them being mad because they think the team could've played better or whatever, I'm talking about them being legit angry because "we lost to a team that hasn't made the playoffs in 9 years"

I mean, what does that have to do with anything. We're on pace for 88 points, they're on pace for 91. These are basically very similar teams in terms of competitiveness. Why would you assume that should be such a cakewalk to the point where when you lose to that team it's all "fire everybody."

We literally just did that last week with Arizona and Colorado.

But ninja editing is the worst.

 

[dogbazinho]

We seem to play to the level of our competition. It's frustrating we can lose to other lottery dwellers but typically hang with "Stanley Cup" contenders. I think it speaks to the teams leadership and grit.

And F the prevent defense we went into at the end. That was dangerous. It was dump and no chase.

But ninja editing is the worst.

I sometimes ninja edit but when I do I try to put Edit: With what I edited..

We need a ninja Smiley! Darth just isn't right.

 

[tarheelhockey]

The entire Metro division is now over .500

4 of 8 Atlantic teams are .500 or lower

 

[Identity404]

Outside of NJ (who are probably paper tigers) the metro is close top to bottom when looking at point percentage. A bit different than last year.

True story!

 

[RodTheBawd]

"Dominating the play"? Outside of a sequence after the latest penalty kill, I feel Columbus has been the far better team tonight. They're breaking out the puck cleanly, they're jumping on turnovers (which the Canes are happy to provide), and they're smothering much of our offensive game.

Yeah, not sure what game you were watching, we controlled the vast majority of play throughout. At the point you posted this, giveaways were 8 CBJ vs. 2 CAR.

GDT thread shenanigans mojo confirmed.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[Roboturner913]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

OK sure, if the team's winning streak is less important than your personal convenience

Thought I'd share this as it was a good read. The Athletic has an article up from the Blue Jackets game on Friday. This quote was spot on:

The Hurricanes are a wedding reception with no liquor. They're the hockey equivalent of Tressel-ball. They have star players — Jordan Staal, Jeff Skinner, Sebastian Aho, Justin Williams, Justin Fault, etc. — but they play a style in which everybody looks the same.

We need to get Peters a sweater vest

 

[vorbis]

Justin Fault gonna collapse and crater an entire regional real estate market any day now imo

Man, don't send me to a damned paywall site.

The Athletic is the only site I pay for and it is well worth it.
