GDT: CandyCanes GDT vs Sharks

[Lempo]

FAT, the dullest, least fun and least good line in Canes top 9.

Best October in a long time.

Based just on point totals through 9 games, this is our best start since 2013-2014 which saw us with a 4-2-3 record. Best overall 9-game starts in franchise history were 2005-2006 (6-2-1, 13 pts) and 2007-2008 (5-1-3, 13 pts). If anyone's interested. Playoff seasons are in bold, too:

How exactly are those lines being evaluated?

Can't believe we miss playoffs in the 2007/2008.

I'm still mad I had to go get a refund for the playoff package I purchased a few days before. But at least I was in town that weekend so it wasn't all bad I guess.

(no, it sucked shit)

San Jose will have their hands full with the Cane's young bucks.

So why are we sending Bishop down? Best line in the NHL (Zykov/Bishop/McGinn). Zone starts help, but at least those three keep the puck there!

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

How exactly are those lines being evaluated?

It's just shot rates for (further right on the x axis = good) vs. shot rates against (higher along the y axis is better). Doesn't take into account quality of competition/zone starts

Hell of a game the Sharks just played. Down 4-2 heading into the 3rd, Burns with the game-winner with just a few minutes remaining.

Though they got some help from the officiating at the end. A "high stick" that a Sharks player sold, but replay showed it never actually touched him. Never even came close.

 

[Canes]

Canes finally get another right handed center option. Not that it really matters or Brindy cares though.

Was that the year we had the win and your in game against the Panthers, whom we had something like a 14 game home wining streak against them, and lost?

Not only that, but we had come back from multiple goals down, multiple times against them that season. No reason we should have lost it.

Hell, the game before, we absolutely trashed Tampa Bay, putting up a 6 spot on them (though I believe Tampa was resting their players by that point).

Chalk it up to karmic retribution for 1979-1980, maybe?

Have you never had a cajun filet chicken biscuit combo?

 

[Ole Gil]

Looking forward to Roy. Of the AHL centers (wallmark/bishop/roy), Roy seems like the one that might have real top 9 talent. May end up being nothing as well, but it feels like there's a chance he could come in and do some damage. Also seems like a much better fit with Zykov and McGinn than Necas or Bishop stylistically.

Digging the '2 games to earn a spot' deal that Brindy seems to be employing. Has to be exciting for these kids to have opportunities like this early in the season. Checkers are going to be crushing folks all year knowing that the big club is paying close attention, and rewarding the top players with NHL games.

You’re goddamn right

I had one for lunch yesterday. It was f***ing awesome.

I will never forget that game. Craig Anderson played out of his freaking mind. They had the "jersey off your back" promotion right after the game and the looks on the Canes players' faces while doing that were indescribable. Wretched is the only word I can come up with. Baffled, disappointed, angry, verge of tears, aghast... all these and more

Our minor league team plays in the Bojangles Coliseum. Do you think that's an accident?

Bojangles is a major fact of life, full stop. The only way to reach nirvana involves a Bo-Berry biscuit. This is known.
