GDT: Canes at Bolts

[A Star is Burns]

That ending was total trash. Largely happy with the effort, but no finish and not good enough by Reimer.

 

[The Faulker 27]

Slavin was brutal toward the end. Geez.

 

[WreckingCrew]

Slavin mispass leads to the EN goal

His mispass almost led to one just before, so no surprise...he's been garbage lately. Came out 1-3 against Tamp in this 4 game stand is not good.

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

Yikes, Slavin! Anyway, Tampa are the defending champs and unfortunately they chose to make a statement against us lol. See y’all next game!

 

[Canes]

Lightning sitting back and laughing at us. It's the Bruins all over again. We just lose our shit too often to be relied on.

Someday we'll figure it out, I guess.

 

[Sens1Canes2]

Is that the second night in a row that Bean hasn’t been on the ice with the tying goal available? Pesce first, Slavin tonight?

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

This is what exposure looks like. Im worried that the Bolts figured us out already.

No, it's just that the Bolts are the best team in the NHL. They made winning the Cup look easy last year.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Canes aren’t as good as Tampa. Not exactly earth shattering news.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Problem solved.

 

[HisIceness]

These are the games we need Aho, Svech, Necas, Staal, etc. to score some goals.

It is what it is, but the season isn't getting any easier.

 

[surfzone365]

Cant get down. No time for that. We'll rebound vs FLA

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

Guys.... guys, I know you will vent but this is mid season, not the playoffs. We will have time to bounce back against them and I frankly think playing them more in the reg season will help, not hurt our chances if we see them in playoffs.

No, it's just that the Bolts are the best team in the NHL. They made winning the Cup look easy last year.

Not just Tampa, Boston or any true cup contender.

Tampa played us extra rough like Boston does and our guys shut down. Too timid still unfortunately.

Staal was like the only bright spot today, he was making things happen but his linemates flubbed some amazing opportunities. Svech, Aho, Slavin, Necas, Tro, Nino were all trash today. Just absolute trash.

 

[hblueridgegal]

Keep waiting on the mental toughness to set in..how many seasons does it take?

Well, I do think we responded pretty well to last game, just gotta be better. Thankfully we won't see Tampa for a while. We still have a few guys that need to play up to the level they're capable of. Far from giving up on them as this far it's only Tampa.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

What would it take to trade for Tom Wilson?

 

[VibesAlive]

The Canes did everything right through 2 to get the win, with no finish. The third was just what is was at that point.

THE MOJO NEEDS TO BE REVENGED OR SOMETHING, HELP ME OUT HERE

 

[Canes]

Not just Tampa, Boston or any true cup contender.

Yeah, the front office and even the fans have known that for a while now. Still doesn't make it suck less when it's exposed year after year. The front office has done a lot of good like with the Trocheck and Nino trades but our defense is a long ways off from where it was 2 years ago, IMO. And goaltending is still a question mark like always.

That ending was total trash. Largely happy with the effort, but no finish and not good enough by Reimer.

since we are doing the mlb style series format this covid season, I will use the analogy of Reimer being like a pitcher with a high ERA but high wins total. There is always a bit of mystery around why teams get more run support for one starter better than others etc, but it happens. When you look at Reimer’s stats outside of wins, its mind-blowing.

Is that the second night in a row that Bean hasn’t been on the ice with the tying goal available? Pesce first, Slavin tonight?

Tampa has punked Bean and punished him every time he touches the puck. He didn’t add anything at Tampa. Pesce looked better offensively tonight and Slavin yesterday.

 

[The Faulker 27]

Oh well. Keep rolling

 

[A Star is Burns]

I think we should all just take a deep breath and don't dwell on it. This was going to be a difficult stretch. We have a better stretch ahead and hopefully some guys get healthy and others remember how good they are.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

I hope the Canes ain't crying as much as we are. Suck it up, y'all. Long season.

You may be right ... but when you need a goal, I fear turning to Brett Pesce and Jacobb Slavin. That’s not going to get it done. Hopefully Rod eventually trusts Bean enough to put him out there.
