GDT: Canes @ Anaheim 2/3

[cptjeff]

Way to play with the lead guys.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Rask is in way over his head. Though I guess that isn't anything we didn't already know.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

That game could not have summed up the Canes any better. Blowing a 2-goal lead, multiple 5-on-3 failures, earning a meaningless point and losing almost immediately in OT.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Can't win with two failed 5 on 3s

Even though that had nothing to do with our defense collapsing

 

[Novacane]

See ya

Congratulations!!!!!!!!@@@@!!!!1

Beating the hcanes and NHL Hall of Famer Brad Malone is quite the feat, let me tell ya.

i think it is a little soon to say that malone is a hall of famer maybe a hall of very gooder but lets see if this streak of good play continues

u r rite. malone's got HOF potential tho, much like morgan rielly.

 

[DougieSmash]

brad malone is raptor jesus

 

[ChuckW]

The funny thing is if the team played decently at the beginning of the season, the way they played during this stretch against the leagues top teams would have been perfectly acceptable. Unfortunately...

 

[Stickpucker]

See ya

He be snoopin'

 

[Stickpucker]

Clone Malone 19 times... Dynasty

 

[nobuddy]

OT loss incoming

good call

 

[Blueline Bomber]

I honest can't remember the last time I've laughed harder at a Canes game than last night. Brad Malone, of all players, is awarded (and scores on) the team's first penalty shot of the season.

 

[Unsustainable]

Malone was a + 2

 

[Ole Gil]

Anyone else getting a little nervous about losing McClement?

That 4th line has looked effective on top of doing the heavy lifting on the #2 PK in the league. Hope they can lock him (and dwyer) up for another year or two at reasonable deals.

 

[What the Faulk]

Not really. He's played fine lately but if he wants too much, so be it. They're not really in a position to overpay a fourth liner.

There are a dozen Jay McClements out there. They are not in a position to not accept the 3rd or 4th round pick he will bring.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

riley nash would be a great 4th line center on that line

 

[What the Faulk]

^ They'd still need to bring in another center (or two) somewhere though.

These are kind of conflicting statements. If you think he's replaceable, why not pick up an asset for him?

 

[NotOpie]

riley nash would be a great 4th line center on that line

Am I the only guy that would trade Nash as part of a bigger deal? Nash and Ward, Nash and Tlusty, Nash and Sekera....Riley's been okay and at the beginning of the year I thought he'd taken the next step. But over the last 15 games or so, he's come back to earth. He's a solid 3rd line center and that's it.

He is and will continue to be affordable for the next couple of years, but I think he's a very attractive sweetner to some deals that might be had.

 

[RodTheBawd]

That Lindholm pass... Stuff like that keeps me really optimistic about his future.

Also, send Murphy back to Charlotte. That kid just can't handle being in his own end, a bit of an issue for a defenseman.

 

[What the Faulk]

Nash is replaceable too, but it'd have to be the right deal. I don't think they should move him just to move him.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Now that was vintage Semin!

Yep, a nice Semin-esque snipe. Except I'm pretty concerned for him as of late - after scoring goals, he seems utterly exhausted. It's like he has trouble breathing or something - anyone notice that? Anyway, go Semin - guy's super skilled.

 

[George Binks]

Good game guys see ya in like 11 days
