Friday, October 11th, 2013, 19:00 EST

Why:



Los Angeles Kings Lineup

Dustin Brown - Anze Kopitar - Justin Williams
Matt Frattin - Mike Richards - Jeff Carter
Kyle Clifford - Jarret Stoll - Trevor Lewis
Daniel Carcillo - Colin Fraser - Jordan Nolan


Robyn Regehr - Drew Doughty
Willie Mitchell - Slava Voynov
Alec Martinez - Matt Greene

Jonathan Quick
Ben Scrivens


Carolina Hurricanes Lineup

Jiri Tlusty - Eric Staal - Alexander Semin
Nathan Gerbe - Jordan Staal - Patrick Dwyer
Jeff Skinner - Riley Nash - Radek Dvorak
Brett Sutter - Elias Lindholm - Drayson Bowman

Andrej Sekera - Justin Faulk
Brett Bellemore - Ron Hainsey
Jay Harrison - Ryan Murphy

Cam Ward
Anton Khudobin




Now that the plesantries are out of the way, a bit of back story for both teams:

First, Anton Randel-El. After several dominant seasons as a play maker for the Redskins, The Anton has decided to pull a Deion Danders and switch sports. He's now currently our best goalie



next, we have starting goalie, turned back up, Kirk Cameron Ward who constantly teases us by switching between Pro and Noob on a daily basis



next, we have a bit of interesting back story. LA Kings foward Jeff Carter and his close, personal friend, WWE Super Star Fit Finlay (who are both huge football fans) issued a contest to the colleges of the USA to determine which had the most passionate fans, with the winner securing a new football stadium. North Carolina is first and foremost a basket ball state and as such all our universities (Duke, UNC, NCSU, Wake, ECU, etc) focus most of their efforts on basketball with football coming in second. NCSU sought to capitilize on the contest though, and sent noted Wolf Pack alumni: Scott Hall, Kevin Nash & Hollywood Hogan to lobby for support.



In the end the contest was won and thus, Carter-Finley Stadium was born.

Lastly, perenial diver/cry baby Jeff Skinner is working on improving his image.

So he turned, logically, to the forfront of fashion, Lady Gaga, for inspiration and hired her personal costume designer, renowned make-up and special effects artist, Glenn Hetrick for help.

Results so far are getting mixed reviews



Anyways, thus ends another exciting GDT and here's hoping we can keep this little streak going. LET'S GO 'CANES!!!​

[HisIceness]

Justin Williams hat trick.

 

[Unsustainable]

Here's hoping to something good.

I'll be there

 

[Finnish Jerk Train]

Kings win 5-1. Ron Hainsey scores 6 goals.

I'm not even sure how this got started, but we have to keep it going.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

heh

5-1 loss

 

[Guy]

It's too bad that Rosey is no longer tagging with the Hurricane.

6-1 W, Hainsey with all 6.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Worried they'll have some dead legs tonight, especially Faulk and Sekera. I'm guessing tonight is a night where he dresses 7 D?

 

[tarheelhockey]

2014 6th round pick hat trick.

 

[Lynk]

Canes win 6-1.
Ron Hainsey scores 6 goals.

 

[bb99]

Canes win 6-1.
Ron Hainsey scores 6 goals.

Diggin' it!

 

[spockBokk]

Justin Williams will stub a toe walking into the arena, play off of adrenaline against his old team, and end up with the hat trick. It will later be revealed his stubbed pinky toe will be a career ender...

After his hat trick there will be clamors amongst canes fans that we should send "immediate impact player needed" Lindholm and "played out at 21" Skinner plus a 1st to LA for Williams and the rights to Coulton Tuebert and the 2nd that the dastardly wizard Ray Whitney duped the canes out of so long ago...

 

[FootKnight]

Our lines last game were:

Brown - Kopitar - Williams
Carcillo - Richards - Carter
King - Stoll - Nolan
Clifford - Lewis - Frattin

Should be the same to start tonight as far as I'm aware.

 

[What the Faulk]

Lindholm and Nash swapped places.

I would expect 7 defensemen tonight too with the back to back and Muller really wanting to get Komisarek into a game.

 

[DaveG]

Would not be shocked if Sutter's out of the lineup tonight in favor of Komisarek as the #7 dman. Some of the guys on the back end (notably Faulk) are going to be in need of a bit of rest after last night.

 

[Incubajerks]

any word on Ruutu being good to go tonight?

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Would not be shocked if Sutter's out of the lineup tonight in favor of Komisarek as the #7 dman. Some of the guys on the back end (notably Faulk) are going to be in need of a bit of rest after last night.

I'd think Sutter gets the game against his dad... Might be wrong though. Definitely agree with you, I just think it might be Bowman.

 

[What the Faulk]

any word on Ruutu being good to go tonight?

No morning skate so I wouldn't expect to hear anything until later in the day, but my guess is no.

 

[DaveG]

Could well be, that one's a total coinflip IMO, just had forgotten about the LA connection with his dad.

 

[Blown Away]

I gotta think Ruutu is getting close. If not tonight maybe Sunday?

Waaaay OT, but does anyone else think that Robyn Regher sounds like a character from "Game of Thrones"?

 

[Unsustainable]

Could well be, that one's a total coinflip IMO, just had forgotten about the LA connection with his dad.

I met Darryl when he was the GM of the Flames. It was the weekend before he snagged our defenseman. I think I was one of 2 people who knew who he was there.

 

[What the Faulk]

Well there's a character in the books named Robin Ryger, so I'd say so.

Sir Nick Faldo (@NickFaldo006), playing in the @SASChampionship, will sound the #Canes warning siren tonight before the game vs. #LAKings.

Pretty boss.

 

[What the Faulk]

Would he be the biggest name not connected to the area to sound it?

 

[DaveG]

Not even debatable, that's easily the biggest name.

 

[Blown Away]

Well there's a character in the books named Robin Ryger, so I'd say so.

Wow. Captain of the River Run guards. (I googled the name). You must really be into GoT. I've read all the books and watched the HBO series, but didn't recall that name. I suppose I was thinking of Rhaegar Targaryen.
