If he doesn't have some sort of an injury, I'm mystified. I mean, it's early enough I don't mind him feeling out any player, but not at all what I expected. Season's a goner for Connor.

Hainsey did lose his man on one goal. The one where Harrison lost the puck along the boards. However, Gleason or Harrison definitely deserved to sit instead of Hainsey

but Harrison doesn't sound like an illiterate caveman hockey player when he answers Chip Alexander's set up, soft questions.....
signing Gleason and not using Murphy seems to fly in the face of Francis' master plan.
for the record, I didn't think Gleason was all that bad last night, comparatively speaking.

Well, Peters did say he was going to make players accountable. With previous coaches, that meant any top 6 forward or top 4 D was pretty much untouchable no matter how poorly they played, and coaches would easily sit lesser players. Maybe Peters will be taking off the kid gloves for all players, regardless of status.
I didn't see the game last night, was Hainsey really that bad?

optimistically I thought they all looked tentative and their timing was off, which may be due to figuring out a new system in a pressure game. Sekera and Hainsey seemed a step slow to respond instead of it being automatic. Gleason and Harrison are #6/7 guys. they are what they are but there just isn't much depth.....

Yeah I would have sat Harrison, that play on the Grabovski goal was brutal. At least timgleson brought some physicality

Agree Rod. About 10-15 games in is when we should see how players are reacting/adapting to Peters style and we should then be able to get a better grasp.

^This....but to reiterate a point I made elsewhere, I was at the game and Hainsey looked pretty slow and, much like a lot of the team, his timing was off. I would not be surprised if he is nursing an injury....so who makes up our #2 pairing? Gleason and Liles?

He's too busy tweeting about the jersey choices of a teenage boy and girl.

This is Hurricanes Hockey
Contract curse I guess.
It's a shame too because at times during the late Mo/early Muller years he was arguably our best d-man. Then he signs a contract and just plays like poo.

Not even close IMO. He played well given the expectations and role he played, but I don't know if I'd ever go as far as saying he was our best defenseman.
In 10/11 he went up against the easiest competition, by far, of any Canes defenseman. He got very sheltered minutes. In 11/12, he went up against a bit tougher competition, but Gleason and Allen took all the tough assignments by far that year and Pitkanen (although limited to 30 games) was far superior as well and even by season's end, so was Faulk.
Harrison did ok for a couple of years given expectations, but no way he was the best defenseman. He had less responsibilities/easier competition and he did ok.
