Yep, totally agreed with all of the above. We’ve actually had to call up Jason Shaya from Charlotte to do a few games in the past few years when John has NBC obligations. Still hate the idea of losing him eventually.

With Karmanos, Francis, Wesley, Kaiton, etc. all out of the organization, Forslund is the only real original Cane at this point. To Canes fan who watch every game, he’s as synonymous with the Carolina Hurricanes as anybody. He was honored a few years ago by the team in a “John Forslund” night, and Eric Staal’s vídeo message pointed out that John was basically the “soundtrack of every big moment in his career.” To Canes fans, he’s the soundtrack to almost every moment of this franchise, and most of us would defend his honor before any player’s.

I agree with you. Forslund still calling hockey, but not Hurricanes games doesn't seem right.

Not that I'm saying him calling non-Hurricanes doesn't feel right, just still working calling games, but no longer working for the Hurricanes.

How about scoring a hatty in your first playoffs game, Svechnikov?

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Pierre McGuire getting giddy about Tom Wilson possibly KO’ing Jaccob Slavin lol

 

[Caps8112]

everyone said this would be close. couldn't believe they jumped to a 3-0 lead. Caps got lazy and ovi didn't backcheck

[TheOllieC]

Svech is good

 

[M2Beezy]

Svech is good

Hes literally on FIRE and its not just those two goals, hes played great

 

[Chips]

Does rierden not know every coach has a time out? I can’t remember him ever using one.

 

[Bleedred]

The Canes aren't a bad team and they weren't as bad the last couple years as their record was. I don't think they're a contending team yet, but I think goaltending (like the past couple years) really sandbags them.

I picked the Caps in 7 and that was assuming the Canes would have questionable goaltending or just not measure up in net.

 

[M2Beezy]

Canes to the Power Play here folks

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

For those uninitiated - I advise you against expecting anything from the PP.

 

[Avelanche]

caps would be losing this if they called it like the 2nd round

 

[DrMartinVanNostrand]

Well, I was already on record as saying I would've preferred Carolina to Columbus in the first round, and I stand by that (obviously) after last night, but part of my added rationale from earlier today was "I can't imagine Carolina would've had the same ability to erase a 3-goal deficit that the Blue Jackets managed to do".

I already looked really stupid when I criticized Yankee catcher Gary Sanchez one AB before he proceeded to hit three straight home runs this past Sunday. Is this going to happen again?
