You guys have instantly become my second favorite team because of how much some people hate this. And it's fun to begin with.

That was an Expensive shirt... (w/ shipping) but I had to... Lets see if we can string a few more wins together...

 

[TheBigKahuna]

The official shirt is cool, the S328 version is pretty lame looking, to be honest.

Not $44 cool, but cool.

 

[GooGooMuck]

The Teepublic version of Bunch Of Jerks is cool and comes in a hoody as well (A hoody that's cheaper than the official Canes T version- the lightweight one is $31)

I stopped by the arena just now to get one, but they don’t even have them in yet. They’ll go on sale at 6:00 tonight when the doors open.

 

[Lempo]

The late April Storm Surge will have one guy dressed in our current opponents' jersey and Mola Rod will tear the "victim's" living beating heart out of his chest.

A comment Faulk made last night was interesting and you can see it in the way they play. Faulk said (paraphrasing) that the coaches probably don't like it, but having confidence in the goaltenders allows them to take more chances. I've been seeing more of that. Peters and Brindy both have their defensemen pinch pretty aggressively, join the rush, and have tight gaps in the neutral zone. No doubt, when that breaks down, it leads to more 2-1s, odd man rushes and scrambles to get back in the zone and many times, we fans get pissed about a bad pinch, but I think it's what they are being coached. With Darling, those were automatic goals and/or the team tried to play it so safe that they were anemic offensively. These goalies have been bailing the guys out much of the time when it happens.

What's odd is that I feel like we've actually given up less oddman breaks with the more competent goaltending. I have noticed the Fs being a lot more aware when the D jumps and not losing coverage.

Dip**** Don Cherry drops money on the ground, and Dundo picks it up.

You have a way with words, my friend.

True. I also think the defense is better overall with the addition of Hamilton, de Hann and loss of Hanifin and Fleuy(who's not playing)/Dahlbeck. Don't think the defense is as good as it could be, but it's better than last year.

It seems like the dmen are getting more discretion at the defensive blue line. If the winger is coming full flight, they seem okay with backing off, forcing them wide, instead of trying to make the all or nothing stop of a zone entry. I think that's a huge part of Justin Faulks resurgence defensively.

That’s a hell of an interesting observation with Faulk. He doesn’t have a big reach like the rest of the d-men so that step up D really did him no favors.

Absolutely. He is at his best when he does this and separates them from the puck against the boards. He is strong playing against the boards but much less so in open ice.

Now if someone could just teach him how to clear the puck...

You must've been there just a few minutes before me. I wonder if there will be a crowd waiting to get them tonight.

Martinook said they had a star wars themed celebration planned, but they lost that game. Something about using the force to throw guys around.

I can see it. Like bowling except somebody does a hand gesture instead of throwing their helmet to knock everybody over.

Oh well. There’s always next year.

 

[NotOpie]

Verbal shit show to ensue immediately following....

 

[MisterEd89]

I believe the shirts have arrived...

 

[GoldiFox]

Verbal **** show to ensue immediately following....

Signed Aho?
Big trade?
... Wants to talk about beer league football?

 

[GoldiFox]

So that is what a million dollars stacked up on the PNC floor looks like

 

[bleedgreen]

It’s not a trade, there would be leaks.
