GDT: Canes vs. Islanders: "Wait...I had something for this..."

[donkshow]

Oh, we've known for quite some time just how dangerous he is. It's just nice to finally see him on our side. What makes me happiest is how much better he makes Eric.

Oh I know Canes fans did from facing him all the time. I know he had your number.

But hopefully him succeeding on another team will help his image across the league and in the media. He was not the issue in Washington, at all.

 

[CanesAvs16]

When was the last time the Hurricanes gave up 4 PP goals in a game and won?

@MikeSundheim: The Canes allowed four power-play goals in tonight's win. Last time they allowed 4 PPG's and won: 10/28/05 vs. PHI.

 

[Wolfpuck]

The best part about watching that game was not having to hold my breath every time number 24 was on the ice. Good call Kirk!

This.

I don't know what the **** was going on with our PK, but 5 on 5, our defense looked really solid from top to bottom.

That might be a first.

Ah, the 8-6 game. I remember being there. One hell of a win.

Ah yeah, the famous 8-6 win. Man what a wild game that was, and one that solidified the teams path to the Cup.

Seeing Semin and Boudreau both succeed outside of Washington, which is now failing miserably, serves as a healthy reminder to never buy into scapegoating.

I think I was one of the few that didn't blame Semin. I was cheerleading for us to get him. Caps fans I am friends with said I was crazy for wanting Semin. Now they keep saying, oh just wait, you will see. Meanwhile they are silent on how bad the Caps are.

Corvo looked good tonight again. The image that stuck for me, was Mcbain in the far corner adjusting his helmet while the islander was pounding home one of their pp goals in front.

Nobody looked great, but big picture, we're one average damn from being a really good hockey team, I think.

A Memorable Canes Game

Not ready to pin the blame on any one defender tonight, that whole game was a mess on both teams' defense

That's is all we really need. A legit 3/4 Defensive D.

 

[Novacane]

Yeah. Was at that Flyers game too. Twas crazy.

 

[tomdundo]

Nice touch on the avatar for your fantasy team, Novacane.

 

[Watershed]

It wasn't pretty but dammit...a wins a win and I will take a sloppy win over a pretty loss any day of the week.

 

[Novacane]

Nice touch on the avatar for your fantasy team, Novacane.

Thanks. Had to have some use for it

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Haha, count me in for the guys at the 8-6 win, that was quite a game.

 

[Boats Ahoes]

I still find it hilarious how he's arguably the best sniper in the NHL, and that's how he gets his 200th goal . Anyways, congrats to him and the rest of the team. Shout out to Uh-oh Joe, who played great yet again.

Seriously, even our steady defender (Faulk) looked lost.

me as well what a game that was!

 

[Zombie Mike Murphy]

Wonder if the ice really was that ******?

 

[Brock Anton]

To think that we got Tlusty for a player that has scored 1 goal in 35 games in the AHL this year.

Thanks Burkie.

 

[bleedgreen]

Interesting side note. At the end of the islanders broadcast, they showed a dejected Tavares all by his own self alone on the bench after everyone left, head in his hands looking like he was crying he was so pissed. Slowly got up and got off, they then show the line of players going down the hallway and hamonic lost his **** and broke a stick with an over the head swing on something as he walked past.

Not a happy locker room. Not that it should be after that.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

Did anyone feel that E. Staal suddenly started playing MUCH better (using his body to protect the puck, using his size and speed to win battles, forechecking well) after Skinner and Jordan generated their goal?

 

[DaveG]

How good would this team be if we didn't put the "special" in special teams?
