Pre-Game Talk: Carolina @ Florida - Saturday/January/19/2013

'Canes down 7-1 midway through third. Police storm the ice and arrest Joe Corvo on a warrant for public indecency due to complaints about his haircut. 'Canes immediately score six unanswered goals to tie the game, then Eric wins the game in a shootout. Joe Corvo's contract is terminated.

Nah, he's shipped to Montreal to be with his bff Cole. We get Tomas Kaberle in return.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Given the way JR's made his trades lately, it wouldn't just be Corvo for Kaberle.

It would be Corvo + Ryan Murphy for Kaberle.

 

[Novacane]

I'm saying 3 of the Staals, Semin, and Skinner get at least a goal apiece. Someone of that group has a monster night. We blow out the Panthers. And then I wake up the day after a 9-1 loss where Ward decimated his groin.

 

[Oenatzu]

I just remembered we signed Corvo. Again.

F.

Yeah, it's like waking up to the same nightmare over and over again.

Amazingly, the most UNLIKELY thing in the above statement is Staal scoring in the shootout. Not happening.

 

[tarheelhockey]

Remember the Emmitt Smith era of the NFL, when players would pull their helmets off after touchdowns?

Right now, it's time for the Joe Corvo era of the NHL. Score goal, throw off helmet and wave his shiny locks while pointing to his star.

 

[HisIceness]

Maybe when we play at Dallas if Corvo scores a goal he could skate to mid-ice where the star is and do a tebow impression.

 

[tomdundo]

Well, hopefully that never has to happen because Corvo will be gone before we play Dallas again in '13-'14.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Then Jagr kills him and takes a 15 yard penalty, but says it was worth it to protect "The Star"

 

[caniac247]

How i've missed these game day threads.

 

[ninetynine*]

Westgarth vs. Parros, called it.

 

[HisIceness]

How i've missed these game day threads.

Yeah, me too.

 

[VAcaniac]

I like that we begin the season by watching another team raise the division banner.

It worked in 2005!

 

[LadyCane]

I just remembered we signed Corvo. Again.

F.

Me too. I keep trying to forget.

That forehead of his keeps reminding me.

 

[Lazyking]

Puck needs to drop now.. I'm in such a crappy mood.. Really hope the Canes don't make it worse lol.

 

[urho]

Other than that, I Am Excite!

According to Ticketmaster, only single seats are available for every section in the building except 116 and the Champions Club. It looks like around half the sections are completely sold out.

I went down to watch practice at the PNC today, and there was a pretty good line at the ticket windows.

 

[DaveG]

yeah I can imagine that things are going to be rather wild the next few days in that regard. I honestly would be shocked if we didn't have a packed house more often then not this season. A lot of the anger about losing the season may be dieing off from the diehards (though I know quite a few on individual games instead of STHs right now) and if the team gets off to the kind of start I'm expecting the bandwagon will be there in a big way.

 

[My Special Purpose]

OK, if Muller really does love the Sanguinetti-Harrison pairing, and if JR mentioned Sanguinetti by name as a guy who needs to play in the NHL, where does that leave Joe Corvo? Could he really be a healthy scratch? Or will we dress seven d-men?

Faulk/Gleason/Pitkanen/McBain are set in stone, right?

Chip just tweeted that McBain is currently considered as the seventh defenseman.

Nope. McBain's been the one paired with Murphy, looks like he might be the healthy scratch to start the year...

Right now, McBain has been the odd man out.

 

[Mr America]

Damn! Has McBain regressed that much or is Sangs really all that?

 

[Oenatzu]

Don't know about the training camp but McBain didn't exactly shine during his time in Finland. 7gp with 1 point and -6 playing top minutes.
