We haven't had one of these for a while.
G: Ennis, Larsson, Bogo, Gionta with the multipoint, Grigo with the goal.
B: McEichel not wrapped up, yet. RJ calling Risto "Rasmussen"

I only watched the highlights of this one. Just wanted to say that Gionta has been playing great the last several weeks. He could be an underrated piece of this team going forward the next year or two. Larsson continues to click, as well.

I agree... but this was the most horrible POS of a game to watch all season, Carolina mailed this one in..

Carolina got over 50 SOG and THEY mailed it in?

If you add in the blocked shots, it was 70 to 26 in favor of the Canes.

Ugly: Jordan Staal having a wide open net to tie the game and shooting it directly into Lindbacks double pack stad instead of going top shelf.

Way to live up to the #2 overall status Jordan, I think we're better off getting a Toews

Sure you can look at SAT. You can also look at hits and block shot attempts on Carolinas part and see they didn't give a damn.

It was pond hockey at it's finest.


As crappy as this season has been, there are some bright spots which showed during last night's game:

Ennis
Gionta
Mike Greg O'Renko
Larsson
Rasmussen
Lindback (through 40 min)

I'm with you on Carolina not giving a damn, but hits and block shot attempts are not the stat to show it.

Teams hit when they don't have the puck, and they can't attempt to block shots unless the opponent shoots. since Carolina won the corsi battle like 7804237493 to 2, hits and block shot attempts are going to be lower.

I agree that the corsi did not match the eye test for this game, however.

You don't have to hit or block shots when you have the puck that much....

I watched the whole game, and there were long stretches where CAR had possession with shots, Sabres cleared to mid ice, and CAR carried it back in. There wasn't many high skill level plays, but they certainly poured it on. If Cam Ward didn't play extremely poorly no doubt it would've been a loss.
