[Unsustainable]

The 2 Storms of the South come together for a perfect storm in Raleigh.

Can Captain Kirk of the USS Hurricane right the ship? The Hurricanes have had an outbreak of scurvy to render most of the team more useless than usual. Or will the Gale Force Winds of Stamkos over power us for a 5-1 loss?

Players to Watch:

Ryan Murphy, making his 2nd NHL debut as an emergency call up.

Jiri Tlusty, coming off a big 2 goal night that didn't matter since the net minder was watching Oprah on the big screen.

Steven Stamkos, you never see him shoot the puck, only celebrating as everyone wonders how the puck got in the back of the net.

(Please forgive me for not being as epic as the previous ones, still dealing with my eyes healing)

Two garbage franchises in garbage hockey markets competing for the lead in a garbage division. The question isn't who's going to win, but if nobody watches a hockey game and nobody attends a hockey game, did it even happen?

I feel sorry for the good people of Canada who have to be reminded that these two teams even exist, let alone be forced to watch such a putrid match-up on Gamecentre.

Who cares who wins this one? Neither team deserves it, just like neither team deserves the Stanley Cups they won.

 

[Novacane]

Not feeling good about being in attendance for this one. It's VERY important to win this game, and I'm not feeling it if we don't get Joni back.

 

[tomdundo]

I'll be at this game with my aunt. I'm not sure if she's ever been to a hockey game before (or at least recently), so I'll hope for a win out of this one.

That was my experience on Thursday with my mom. My dad was out of town and my brother had too much work so she took me.

I usually either go with my mom, or a friend if I can drag him out there (Sabres fan).

What disappoints me is how much my mom has gone clueless about the game of hockey after a year and a half off (since I was at Clemson last year and the lockout to start this year). She's pretty pathetic about stuff that she should know that she did before.

Hmm, the Charlotte Everblades had a 5-1 win over Abbotsford Dalps and Sutter with 4 points each.

 

[MovesLikeJagr]

I'm a lurker and rare poster, let's see if I'm doing this right... 5-1 loss? It would be nice to go back on the road with a win at hand and face Pittsburgh with a winning streak and momentum.

 

[cptjeff]

Well, I like watching Tampa, so I'll just have to pretend they're playing some other team with black jerseys and root for them. Marty St. Louis FTW!

Actually, I'm not that nervous about this game. I think we'll get an okay showing, especially if we get Tim and Joni back.

 

[Oenatzu]

5-1 loss. Goals go to Stamkos, Stamkos, Stamkos, Stamkos, Stamkos and R. Murphy.

 

[Clark Gillies]

Not feeling it - I think the ride is about to come crashing down. What started out as a promising February will end as a brutal stretch leaving us out of the playoffs.

Vinny and Stamkos each get a pair, Malone the other (4 of the 5 on the PP)
Bowman pots one for us 5-1 loss.

 

[jstaal]

tampa game

Not sure if Joni and gleason are back, havent read anything, but i thought for sure Joni would be back..

Murphy still practicing with the Canes and Skinner skating in no-contact jersey

 

[Zombie Mike Murphy]

Skinner skating is a wonderful sign.

 

[nobuddy]

Skinner skating has to be great news... right?

 

[PaulProteus]

Nodl the healthy scratch tonight, Welsh centering the 4th line.

 

[Lazyking]

Skinner skating has to be great news... right?

when did Skinner start skating last year when he had the concussion? a week or so after?

 

[normalpsychology]

i wish they'd keep nodl in the lineup

 

[Novacane]

Yeah. No reason to take Nodl out in my mind unless they want to keep him hungry to stay in the lineup.

 

[Zombie Mike Murphy]

Yea, that's kinda surprising. I thought he looked good on Thursday. Had a couple of absolutely massive hits.

 

[HisIceness]

Skinner skating has to be great news... right?

Well it's not a bad thing, unless some freaky accident occurs.

 

[AhoLottaLove]

They outta take Larose out of the lineup and keep Nodl in. When's the last time char did something useful?

 

[Oenatzu]

His smile might be the difference between a win and a loss. I wouldn't gamble on that.

Chad is needed on the first PP unit

 

[Oenatzu]

Chad is needed on the first PP unit

Yeah, until the offensive dynamo Tim Brent comes back
