More bloodlines and a surefire Canes later round pick

And the guy he patterns his game after is Justin Faulk.

Pair him up with this guy:

....and you've got the Cane-iest thing ever. Canes gonna Cane.

(yes, that is Timmay's cousin)

Their mission: to become the perfectly average NHL player.

What's the deal with the Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday schedule?

 

[VAcaniac]

What's the deal with the Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday schedule?

It's a conspiracy because the NHL knows we only win in back-to-back situations.

 

[Finnish Jerk Train]

I think it's because lower C teams play on Monday nights in Wake Forest and Wednesday nights in Cary/Garner.

What's the deal with the Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday schedule?

They wanted to load up on Tu/Th in order to party harder than the standard M/W/F schedule

Yep. Standard Operating Procedure. We all know you go light on Fridays because all the good drink deals at the clubs are Thursday nights, when the weekend really begins. Gotta give the Canes credit for going full on upperclassman on their scheduling this semester.

Avoidance of Wednesday church night, which has seriously impacted attendance in the past.

The end of this article talks about Liles adapting to the B's system and does an awesome contrast and compare going into details about our/peters system. For those wondering what Peters has brought to us and why we are so good at suppressing shots its a good read. We've got a great coach.

I'm told coaching doesn't matter.

 

[bleedgreen]

I was told coaching was responsible for Skinner's inability to hit empty nets last season.

That is a great read Bleed, thanks for the link. And it's great insight into something you would never be able to see, or measure. A defenseman having to make the correct read before the guy crosses the red line, but not only on the opponents, but on your own forwards as well.

Even though it's only 2 games, I really think that in addition to being a good skating vet, a reason that Liles probably can adapt quickly to the B's is how he was used here. Even though the systems are different, as documented in that article, he was arguably the most versatile D-man on the Canes. Right side, Left side. Third pairing, 2nd pairing, 1st pairing. Faulk, Hainsey, Jordan, Pesce, etc..as partners, PK and PP, Defensive role with Pesce, etc

The guy literally did a little bit of everything here.

 

[Novacane]

Interesting. Thanks for sharing

 

[bleedgreen]

Liles was a good player for us and I wouldn't mind him back. In place of hainsey though. Liles and Wiz would be pretty helpful as vets next year.

 

[VAcaniac]

Am I the only that still smiles when Orpik is in pain? He got ****ed up in Boston today.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

So Versteeg was part of the brawl between the LAK and ANA yesterday and was apparently injured as he didn't return to the game after that. Hopefully it's not serious.

 

[AhoLottaLove]

The Kings should stop trading with us.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

The Kings should stop trading with us.

After the Jack Johnson deal, I think they are still indebted to the Canes. While Johnson was never as good as people anticipated with LA, he then brought the Kings Jeff Carter, who has been fantastic for them and a key cog in their championship runs.

 

[RodTheBawd]

Good article. Kind of makes me wonder how much more development Hanifin needs in the "hockey sense" department. Seems as though he's making the wrong read in terms of when to gap up, which results in a LOT of 2v1s as they get by him.
