GDT: Carolina @ Los Angeles: Whoever wins, we hurt our draft position edition

Hainsey with his second goal for the opposition so far this season.

Generally, you don't want to blindly feed the puck into the slot. You know, generally speaking.

That's like 3rd time this year Hainsey has. Because he sucks.

 

[Hulkacaniac]

I hate

 

[WreckingCrew]

He has at least 1 ppg at this point...but all for the team we're playing against. Unfortunately, when Jordan is #6, can you really afford to bench him to hold him accountable for his moronic decisions? He was so solid 2 yrs ago, what happened? And with Jordan, I knew his decent showing at the end of last season wouldn't last long...these past few games exemplify his performance in Charlotte the past 2 years. I think the only team worse than us at scoring goals is ****tsburgh...11 goals in 7 games averaging > 33 shots per game

Too early in the season for this?

 

[Ole Gil]

Was hainsey guy in wards lap on 1st goal too?

Hainsey is a #4 playing as a #2, and Jordan is a 6/7 playing as a 4. When you do that you're asking for trouble. The Canes have been doing that since 2010.

Indeed

We have so many donkeys on our team

Rask draws another penalty

He didn't dive this time

But we routinely burn pigs in offering! Whole ones, even!

lol nobody goes to the net. great job guys.

It's really hard.

 

[Wild Caniac]

I'm a little tired of watching Canes players at a standstill on a PP waiting for the opposition to change their defensive strategy. There is no reason to change the strategy when there is no movement.

 

[cptjeff]

No roughing on Doughty for grabbing Lindholm by the throat, I guess.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Skinner is killing the PP. he just has no clue what to do. And that's saying something since the rest of them aren't exactly making look easy.

 

[Brock Anton]

did you know dave gomes won $1 million on draft kings?

 

[Wolfpuck]

Tonight is all about fixing Quick's save percentage with unscreened shots

Hainsey is a #4 playing as a #2, and Jordan is a 6/7 playing as a 4. When you do that you're asking for trouble. The Canes have been doing that since 2010.

While I don't disagree (though I think Jordan has been a lot more 5/6 vs #4), mistakes like the one Hainsey just made are inexcusable for any dman at the NHL level, over-slotted or not. Wiz going out pretty much blew our defensive depth short of a big surprise from someone like Pesce. Honestly, I don't see why he or Biega aren't getting the nod over Jordan.
