I'm gently raising my hand. I think cheap 1A/1B tandems can spend money on goals.

Maybe next year I change my username to TheRillDaleTallon as a token of appreciation for Reimer AND Trocheck for nothing

(TBF, though, Luostarinen looks good early and Priskie almost made their team. Still great value for Trocheck at his best, however.)

'Canes hung in there by their Teeth!!
Reims steals a Win!!

Raise your hand if you thought the strength of the Hurricanes would be the goaltending.

Put your f***ing hand down you lying liar.

IS THERE ANYONE WHO WISHES TO CHALLENGE MY CLAIM?

ding ding ding ding. Better to spend 7 million or less on 2 guys that can both put up .915s in a season than spend that much on just a starter.

You don't need elite, you need league average or better, and Mrazek/Reimer is a pretty dang decent tandem.

Chip just asked Reimer in the post game conference: “James, you sat out the first two games but faced some shots early, was it good to see the puck a lot early on?”

....................

What is the point of this?

 

[Lempo]

It was 100% missed shots of not taken killed the beast.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

I'm kinda glad tbh.

NOW IMAGINE IF REIMER HAD VORÁČEK'S TEMPER.

Also, if the Gardiner and Nino that we're seeing right now are their real selves going forward, they're going to have some trade value relatively soon. Maybe a small pick or two, but that's way better than paying to dump players, to say the least. If you get an opportunity at a Laine at a good price, you might be able to free space now.

Chip is a nice man and he’s doing his best.

 

[HisIceness]

Chip was just making sure Reimer wasn't falling asleep back there, good work Chip

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Anything on Teravainen?

Maniscalco's question would've been "James, you sat out the first two games but faced some shots early, was it good to see the puck a lot early on in order to really get a feel for the speed of the game after such a weird offseason and taking all this time off? Did it feel good to make some saves early and sort of help settle you in and help you get back in the swing of things, especially compared to the alternative of not seeing the puck and sort of being on edge, maybe getting a little nervous and wondering when you were going to be called on to make a save?"

I might put money on Svechnikov being in the Top 10 on a hypothetical list of players to start a franchise with by the end of the season. He can not only shoot and pass, but GMs love the type of physicality and compete he plays with, in that body type. He is going to be, or perhaps already is, a premier complete player in this league.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Dougie sacrificed his streak so that the team could win.

Long live Dougie!

Rod says TT tweaked something and isn't sure if he'll be ready for tomorrow.

He needs a specific quote (or a related one) to put in the article he's going to write. Unless he decides to do an article on NC state instead.

 

[A Star is Burns]

2-1 with a lot more to give. I'm still trying not to take too much from these games as we probably won't see what all teams truly are for another week or two. Only thing I'll take is Svech is a beast.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

"hey Jimbo, I think I want you to say 'it was good to see the puck a lot early on.' You good with that?"

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

There isn’t another winger in this league I’d take over him going forward.

good that he wasn’t benched for some strange reason. Bad that he’s banged up.
