welp....

 

[Lempo]

It say 1-3?

 

[My Special Purpose]

That goal changed absolutely nothing. It's really stunning.

 

[My Special Purpose]

Unreal. Offside on a 3-on-2 because Staal refuses to headman the puck.

 

[AD Skinner]

At least the pp has started to come around

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Didn’t get shutout. Scored on the power play. That’s an unusually successful game for the Canes.

 

[DougieSmash]

If they somehow take a point from this, i'd rename my daughter Carolina.

You can probably test your luck and call her chuck at this rate and be safe.

 

[WreckingCrew]

Playoffs are going to come down to a win and you're in...

Hurricanes really need one of the Isles and Panthers to win tomorrow. Having the Caps clinch the division tomorrow night the game before playing Mtl would be tragic.

 

[VAcaniac]

Well hopefully this means the PP is heating up at least. 3PPG in 2 games. Might be a franchise record.

 

[bleedgreen]

Unreal. Offside on a 3-on-2 because Staal refuses to headman the puck.

I’ve noticed this a ton over the last week or two. Guys aren’t head manning the puck and they kill a ton of plays either by being offsides or losing the momentum of the other forwards.

 

[Cane mutiny]

Columbus is winning, so unless they or Habs start losing, we almost have to run the table on the remaining games to make it in. Every freakin time it comes down to this.

 

[bleedgreen]

Aho has been too quiet. He’s not standing out. He’s had a great year but he needs to be leading right now if he wants to be the man with the huge contract that is the face of the team.

I’ll save my feelings on that for the off season. We need him and TT to step up. It’s not good enough and missing the season from the position we were in is a pretty big disappointment regardless of the season we’ve had.

He's been carrying the offense all year. Hard to blame him at all

 

[dmonk]

Canes weren't playing well for quite some time now. Many wins were stolen by goalies. Tonight's game pretty much reflects who we are.

 

[DougieSmash]

Imagine Habs winning against Craps, Tampa and Toronto.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

2-11-3 (36 point pace) against the Top 5 teams in the league (Tampa, Calgary, Boston, Washington, New York)
6-8 (70 point pace) against the next best 5 (Toronto, San Jose, Pittsburgh, Winnipeg, Columbus)

Keep that in mind before getting too high or too low about this current group. They're very much a paper tiger, but there's just one game remaining against that type of competition.

 

[Drivebytrucker]

Imagine Habs winning against Craps, Tampa and Toronto.

If they do, good for them...

 

[Mestaruus]

I think the playoff spot is rather safe for Carolina.

Montreal's remaining schedule is sick:
Toronto at Montreal
Montreal at Washington
Tampa at Montreal

For Carolina: New Jersey, Philly and Toronto.

 

[Negan4Coach]

Because he has been playing better than McBackup in these past several weeks.

I was kidding. I agree with you, I was just making reference to a silly rebuke directed towards me earlier.

• I honestly didn't have an issue with it when I first identified it as an issue, because the Canes struggle so much to complete even a short pass, so any kind of pass is basically giving up possession. But lately, our timing has been *so* awful that virtually every time, it goes for an offside.
  
  
• You know all those seasons we asked ourselves what it would be like if we just won the games we should win against lesser competition? This. This is what it would be like.
  
  
• By my quick count, we're 5-6-1 this month in games with playoff-like conditions.

It's really not silly to point out to somebody that complaining about the goaltending when we're down 3-0 is a bit of a reach.

Its silly not to realize they tend to play better when Mrazek is back there. Its silly not to realize that teams who score first typically win and that momentum plays a huge factor. Canes were demoralized right off the bat.
