If Necas doesn't play in the next 2 games send him away. Playing 10 games in 20-30 isn't going to help him.

I can't remember who it was, but recently some player got to stay with the team for a few games and go on the roadtrip before being sent back. They didn't play. Was just a let them see what it all looks like thing. Or maybe I dreamt that. One or the other.

Been almost three years since I’ve been to a game, I was living in Asheville for a while, but now am back in Raleigh. Can’t wait to be back at the PNC tomorrow, hope the energy from Saturday lingers.

Soooooo....who do you put on the right side of the third pairing? Dahlbeck who didn't play great on his off side? Fleury a rooking on his off side? Call up a righty?

IMO, Dahlbeck needs to step up and figure it out. He’s in this organization for this exact purpose. If we have rookies or AHL’ers leapfrogging him because we’re worried about him getting totally abused on his off side, then he’s not adequate to take up a roster spot in the first place.

Chelios, if he's anything like his dad he's got a good 20 years of career still left in him at his age.

If he was anything like his dad, he would have been playing in the NHL for years by this point instead of being a career minor leaguer.

I hate the way our schedule worked out. Latest start to the season, and only 3 games in the first two weeks, at a time when you want to be playing as much as possible to get into the rhythm of things.

And of course, since we don’t play many games early in the season, that means our Feb/March/April is going to be packed with games, at a time when you want as much rest in between games as possible.

The TVR thing concerns me, because he got up walking on his own power and looked fine going to the locker room. Presumably he passed the concussion protocol to get back in the game later, so what could be the problem? Be interesting to see what reason they list for his being out.

I don't think Dahlbeck is going to get us killed or anything but you probably have to hide the 3rd pair a little bit more than you might otherwise.

It seems to me Necas is just around to get an extended tutorial at this point. A 9-game stretch with the way the schedule sets up means he'll be with the team nearly a month. That's probably pretty useful in terms of getting him acquainted with an NHL routine, practices, workouts, etc.

It is kinda sucky. But I'll take this schedule vs starting the first 6 games on the road like last season.

I could be wrong. But I thought I read somewhere yesterday that it was a lower body injury for TVR. So hopefully that means it's not a concussion.

It's unfair if Aho gets two letters all by himself when everyone else have to share.
what am I missing? I don't get it. oh well anyways tonights matchup seems interesting columbus are in good shape and probably plays well defensibly and carolina has good offense plus darling in between the pipes. my estimate 3-1 win. :naughty:

Agreed, was thinking about this on my commute yesterday. Probably the one month all the player want to be playing several games a week, and we get these breaks. Put us at a disadvantage now, because every team we play will get to knock off more rust than we do, and later, because they will have more space between games and more rest.

1. When Justin Williams says "Oh Captain, my Captain", he means two different persons.

2. If Canes was a hydrocarbon, it would start with "eth-".

Right, I was just responding to Candy Canes saying he posted "fake news" because earlier he had read it was a lower body concern, but then it came out that it was a concussion. I was just saying "Nope", in that he hadn't posted Fake news, Mike Smith really had said it was a lower body concern.

I probably could have worded it better.
