Pre-Game Talk: Is It October Yet? Why Yes It Is! Hurricanes, please don't suck this season.

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Is Sara Civ trolling or is 1st Line Brock really a thing...

Look, I get it, Necas needs to work his way into the lineup and Foegele needs some time to get back to being Playoff McLovin again, but still, Brindy, can't you at least put Dzingel in with Nino and Aho?

Didn’t he try DZingel up there in preseason? Maybe he didn’t like the chemistry? Maybe both Nino and Dzingel are much less effective on the right side? Could be lots of valid reasons.

I don’t think it’s that big of a deal and we all know it will change a bunch of times throughout the season.

Theme for the 2019-20 Carolina Hurricanes:

These lines also have at least 2 guys on each of the top 3 lines that can put the puck in the net, and 1 physical guy on every line so it balances out the scoring.

Has this been posted? Sorry if so



I’ve seen diff variations, none of which make a ton of sense to me but this was the Canes tweet.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

I hope the power play doesn't suck.

And I hope we go 82-0, but let's try to keep it realistic, eh?

Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes, and the Carolina Hurricanes terrible Power Play.

I just made a realization that this will be the first game without one player from the 2006 Stanley Cup winning team being on the Canes roster.

 

[Svechhammer]

TBF to Brindy, it's very possible that he wants to work Dzingel and Gardiner in slowly due to their pre-season tweaks and health scares. Also, TBF to Brock, he's a very good skater and can keep up and drive play with the best of our guys. He just can't score to save his life.

its more like she is trolling Rod. She knows that Rod loves to overslot him.

Only thing I'm really concerned about for this game, is what game food I'm going to make.

You will run out of time if you don't even have the animal felled yet.

Svech played RW all through juniors, so I hope that once Dzingel shows he’s fully healthy, Svech takes Brock’s spot on that line and Dzingel takes Brock’s spot in the top 6.

I really don’t like those defensive pairings, I think they should’ve gone Fleury - Pesce, Edmundson - Gardiner if they’re that worried about easing Jake into game 1.

I think i’d also rather see Brindy flip Necas and Martinook for a full speed line, but that’s more nit picky than anything.

 

[TheBigKahuna]

Brindy has indicated that he likes two man lines with a moveable 3rd piece.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

I'll wait a week or two before complaining about the lines. I don't think McGinn on the top line, if it's Niederreiter on the other side of Aho, will last very long.

Hey everyone, I am back and hyped for another season. Hopefully it will be as fun of a ride as last year. I haven't had a chance to catch any full pre-season games, just a few periods here and there.. So I am coming in with a clean slate.

I also love how the first game is against Montreal. Let's hope Aho thanks them for the contract properly

But he can score to save ours.

...late last night....

Rod (watching games on TV): Boy, they sure are giving Babs hell for scratching a 4th liner.
Rod: Ooooo, I have an idea...

[My Special Purpose]

Y'know, last season, I got on Brindy for being so rigid with his lines. Turns out, he was right and I was wrong. Last season's team just needed time to get used to each other. This season, he's been changing lines every 15 minutes and I wish he'd give the guys a chance to gel. I'm sure he knows what he's doing, but I'll be shocked if we dominate from the opening puck drop. It's really going to take some time, IMO.
