Here's my take on tonight's game from inside PNC arena
--pick a seat. Listed attendance 7892. Half of that would be much closer to actual fans present
--watching the linesman throw a player out of the face off circle nearly every time is nauseating.
--weather in Raleigh was 12 degrees above normal for this time of year today, humidity off the charts, thus the puck bouncing like a basketball after the first 6-7 minutes of each period..
--All 6 D men where good, Gabriel Carlsson played well and the sky is the limit. He's a giant with a long reach like Jones. He and Murray are a really strong 3rd pairing, played better than Johnson/Savard tonight.
--I haven't seen a replay, but watching it live the boarding Pesce drew against Foligno was bullshit, he turned at the last minute knowing Foligno couldn't get stopped to make it look much worse than it was, Foligno did all He could to pull up before He hit him
--good to see 77 back with the team.
--Matt Calvert played like Matt Calvert
--I was more of a threat to score from my seat than Wennberg was on the ice.
--Panarin is gripping the stick too hard, some Canes fans/good southern friendly people were laughing at me because I was celebrating a goal before he even shot the puck that hit the post
--Bjork was invisible, I think he'll be fine He may be a player who needs to find the right line and stick with it....but many more games like tonight and he will be losing ice time fast.
--You can not appreciate how strong Pierre-Luc Dubois is until you see him play in person, he wasn't great tonight. had couple bad turnovers, but when He gets used to the speed at this level and makes better decisions He is going to be a force, I see him spending a lot of time in "the blue."
--have to win more face offs. Pitiful tonight (39%)
--Couple of poster's felt Hannikainen sent the puck high enough just a bad break. it looked clearly to me like He was trying to hit the empty net, He had plenty of time to get it higher, it was a bad play.....in the end they still got 2 points, lesson learned.
--how in the f*** does Aho miss the net by 4 feet on the 3-1 in overtime. He had time and space. Thought for sure game was over there.
--happy to Milano off to a great start, shows what hard work in the off season can do. I may be the only poster on here but I say slow down on moving him up to the top line.......if they do that he's going to play against the other teams top line and top D pair. He's doing fine right where's He's at, why move him? 9-10-13-17-28 need to produce more. Leave Milano on the 2nd-3rd line.
--both goalies were tremendous. Great pick up for Canes getting Darling, He's a starting NHL goalie, not backup.
--Jackets only play in Raleigh twice, so if my recap of the games here really bothers you it only happens 1 more time this year.
