Pre-Game Talk: 14/03/2013 - Georgetown @ NC State (Caps @ Canes)

[HisIceness]

What if I don't care about State, UNC, or Duke....does that make me a bad person?

 

[gocanes88]

Go State! Soon to be 2013 ACC Tournament Champs.

This will sound horrible, but I go to State and I care about none of the above Went to App for my undergrad, so that is where my loyalty remains!

That's a safe answer, though.

 

[NorthStar4Canes]

Yikes...well thank baby Jesus sittin' in his crib I've still got my guns.

 

[MovesLikeJagr]

I thought Ellis was getting the start.

To be honest, I haven't checked who is getting the start. Peters has owned the caps, so I just kind of assumed. If Ellis is getting the start, I hope he finds the same success as peters has against that team.

 

[Goodafternoon]

Going to the game, I've been to about 5 games before, never seen the Canes lose in person boys better not let my streak die against the Caps.

Welcome to the club... though I tend to pull for Duke just to troll people.

 

[zoodani]

Don't care about State, UNC or Duke, but I'm from Syracuse. So I'm good with the Georgetown hate.

 

[Roboturner913]

You're the coach: who do you start in net, and why?

I'll stay with Pete Dawg, he was unbelievable against the Caps when they were getting good chances (ie before they gave up).

I've always liked the guy, glad to see him having some real NHL success.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Gotta go with Ellis. Peters was good on Tuesday, but I just have the feeling if he starts in this game, the Caps will be able to get by him.

You know they're studying that gamefilm hard after Tuesdays game.

He shut them out last year, too, so that game film didn't do them any good. I think you have to go with the guy who's coming off a shutout. Let's put it this way, if you're the coach, exactly what do you tell Peters about why he's not starting?

He could say that he needs to make sure both he and Ellis are getting regular work since he is going to rely on both of them down the stretch. It's not exactly foreign territory to Peters and Ellis as they were splitting time pretty equally in Charlotte during the lockout.

Hopefully this situation won't be like Ellis' earlier in the year when he got shalacked by Philly after a solid Buffalo(?) game. This is gonna be a tough call for Muller for sure unless he laid his plan out to the Goalies before Tuesday's game

I've been conditioned to root for State by my friend in NC, and keep seeing Tar Heels apparel in shops in London (the one in England), it's like the world is trolling me.

 

[Joe McGrath]

I root for UConn, if anything, but my alma matter went D1 a couple years back so I might have to start rooting for them. Apparently they don't suck anymore. Ofcourse basketball itself really sucks so I don't really care.

 

[tarheelhockey]

I'm Switzerland when it comes to this stuff. Just let me know who wins.

 

[TheBigKahuna]

Both of us. I care NOTHING about local college sports, the ACC, etc.

 

[PaulProteus]

Canes are wearing their alts tonight for the 4th (scheduled) time this season.

Neuvirth will be in net for the Caps, it seems. He hasn't started since Feb. 7 and got shelled.

^^^^^^

ive yet to do it here but this is a common occurrence irl.

 

[FlyingSquirrels]

I could care less about the ACC. But I will soon. My boys are joining this sorry ass conference shortly.

 

[PaulProteus]

I could care less about the ACC. But I will soon. The only REAL college team is joining this sorry ass conference shortly.

And who might that be?

 

[FlyingSquirrels]

And who might that be?

The 'Cuse.

We will kill the football part of your conference but will dominate in Lacrosse and BBall.

 

[caniac247]

Pretty sure Ellis is starting.

Also, Muller said he is going to rotate the two, so yes Pete Dawg got the shutout, but I'm sure he understands why Ellis would start tonight. Both goalies need to stay fresh, IMHO. I wouldn't want either one sitting for too long. Rotating them is the best option.

And put me in the don't give a poo about ACC.

Tell us more about your trophy case full of basketball National Championship (intentionally not plural) and four Final Fours in 40 years.

Dan Ellis in the starter's crease. Ruutu, Pitkanen taking random line rushes.

 

[What the Faulk]

Syracuse is a joke these days. Theyre primed for a first round upset.
