That was one of the best hockey games Ive ever seen in Raleigh. Life is good.

I was so ready to throw my hat on the ice though.

 

[Ainec]

5-1 when watching the Canes. The 1 loss was against my Canucks, so it doesn't really count

Necas speed adds a new dimension to your squad especially in the playoffs

I think I'll take healthy Boston Pittsburgh Tampa Carolina over any of the Western conference teams

When walking our dog Ben today, I came across 2 guys wearing Caps sweaters in downtown Raleigh. Told them I hoped they were enjoying our state but that they would likely be disappointed tonight because our @Canes had their number.
They laughed.
I enjoyed the game tonight.

Foegele records four points in 6-4 win over Caps

by Michael Smith @MSmithCanes / CarolinaHurricanes.com
The Carolina Hurricanes upended the top team in the league, defeating the Washington Capitals, 6-4, in the first game of a season-long, seven-game homestand.
Warren Foegele led the way offensively with a four-point performance (2g, 2a), with both goals and an assist coming in the second period alone.
"That's where rivalries come [from]. You play the same team seven games in a row in two weeks, and you're going to have some hatred for each other," Dougie Hamilton said. "It's always a fun game when we can play them."
"It's always competitive playing against these guys. We don't like them. They don't like us. It's that simple," Foegele said. "It's always fun beating them."
It was a bounce-back win for the Canes, who had previously dropped three games in a row, and it came in a big way against the league's top team in the first game of a season-long, seven-game homestand.
"We needed to be the desperate team, and we were the team that needed to win," head coach Rod Brind'Amour said. "I'm just happy we got it and the fans can leave here feeling good."
"We love playing in front of our fans. We know the energy they bring," Foegele said. "We've got to use that to our advantage."

Not to be lost in the shuffle, Fleury had a solid game tonight.

Not to be lost in the shuffle, Fleury had a solid game tonight.

So zero or one game before he gets stapled to the press box?

 

[zman77]

"He was the difference tonight," Brind'Amour said of Foegele.
"He had a strong start. That line was really good, I thought."
"That was a pretty intense game. A pretty even match going back-and-forth. A lot of chances early. I thought both teams had some good looks," Brind'Amour said.
"Then, the game kind of lost its flow a little bit with all the penalties and whatnot, but obviously we'll take the win."

Unfortunately it looks like we’ll have to get 12 or 13 out of the total 14 available points during this honest and to even stay afloat in this division.

This was the closest thing to a must win that you’ll get in the month of December, so it’s nice to see us hold our own and pull out a win given all of the circumstances. Especially on nights that our top line isn’t producing, it’s nice to see our depth put up points. Dzingel-Haula-Necas back together is huge.

 

[DaveG]

So everything good again?

Once we get to 100 points on the season, then we're good.

 

[zman77]

Huge Win for the 'Canes!!
Tripdoing Trip!!
Y'All Winn!!

 

[Wolfpuck]

Once we get to 100 points on the season, then we're good.

Plus another 16 wins after that.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Can we play this way against most teams?

It's cool to have the Governor be a fan. Mike Easley was a pretty big fan as well, but there was no Twitter for him to express his support.

Out of all of the setups, I like the Eddy-Pesce/Gard-TVR and the Gard-Pesce/Eddy-Fleury arrangements the most. There's just something about Eddy and TVR that simply doesn't work as a pairing. They probably should trade one of the two at the deadline. Even though a lot of fans would hate it, Eddy would probably command much more considering his career year, and could very well be sign-and-trade fodder like Nick Jensen was last year (Florida, New Jersey, and Winnipeg all strike me as particularly good suitors for Eddy, as they all are in pressing need for LHD, and unlike Buffalo, our depth defensemen are good, viable NHL players). TVR would be easy to re-sign for cheap next year to keep the competition fierce for our youngsters.

The Metro is insane.
Canes on pace for 101 points and can’t crack the top 3.

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

I agree, however, there is something about Haula's game that causes Dzingel and Necas to go Super Saiyan. Wallmark's having a sneaky-great year, but it's still no comparison to what Haula can turn our 3rd line into.

Kind of nuts... BUT AS OF LATE OUR BEST CENTERS ARE THE 3RD AND 4TH ONE.

SCREW IT. MAKE THE PLAY-OFFS.

THAN ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.

The refs are bad.

Yeah. It’s called TvR.

Fancy stat of the night.

Foegle +4
Ovi -4

Watched Warren Foegele play in the OHL.
He's a 'late bloomer' who works very hard every night.
RBA has done a great job with developing him slowly to the NHL game.
