Injury Report: Petr Mrazek (Upper Body)

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Not sure how to square this with “not as bad as it originally looked”, I mean it’s not like his hand visibly fell off, it looked like he broke something and might’ve needed surgery lol

Thumb is probably better than wrist.

Could have been that they initially thought he broke something, and looked like there was no break so "not as bad as it looked". MRI showed a dislocation that require surgery, so while not a break, not as optimistic as when that statement was made.

Man that sucks. With the schedule so condensed having 2 solid goalies is going to be super important and im still not sold ned fits that description

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

time to call Arizona for Raanta? Off Bibeau so they have a 3rd goalie plus something good?

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Time for Ned to stand on his head?... while wearing red?

...water...shed?

 

[A Star is Burns]

Wish we'd kept Forsberg

Or he's dead.

Or he's dead.

Should've kept Forsberg instead

Their all dead... Enforcing this upon our corpse ridden dreams..

Pretty easy if you ask me: he’s a 20 year old hockey player who saw the guy hurt in the locker room for a minute before being called to the interview area. Probably not the ideal examination and history taken for a diagnosis.

He did reportedly have his x-ray glasses on though.

I wonder if you look at the goalie market again if Mrazek is out for a month+. We won’t have the buffer that we usually would in terms of schedule

Yeah, a lot may depend on how long longer than we expected is. It might be tough given that every team needs 3 goalies this year, and presumably 3 goalies that you don't mind playing. I suppose they'll give Ned his chance and see what happens.

 

[Joe McGrath]

My suggestion would be to just continue not giving up shots and it won’t matter who the goalie is.

 

[surfzone365]

While this is not ideal, it is the reason we have Ned and it provides a time for him to step up. It is also early enough in the season (albeit a condensed one) where Ned can be assessed and subsequent decisions can be made based on how well things go. Not pressing the panic button just yet, but cautiously observant.

Yeah, Sara Civ’s article today (or yesterday?) mentioned that for Saturday’s game, Dallas had zero 5-on-5 shots during the last two periods and only four 5-on-5 shots the entire game.

Keep that up and stay out of the box and you’re going to have some very happy and very bored goaltenders.

Right now:

GA/GP: Canes #1 in NHL with 1.67
PK%: Canes #2 in NHL with 91.3%
SA/GP: Canes #2 in NHL with 23.3

That probably comes at a cost.

5v5 GF/60: Canes last in the NHL
- 6 5v5 goals
- 1 3v3 goal
- 2 EN goals
- 1 SH goal
- 7 PP goalss

The first set of numbers are averages—so a little less subject to having played fewer games. On a per game basis, I think the Canes are middle of the NHL for most of the scoring categories.

Yeah but also, point percentage .833 - 2nd in the nhl

Yes, exactly. AND on top of that, 3 wins against the cream of the league with 5 NHL guys out due to quarantine.

 

[RibFrabcus]

We're top 5 in xGF% at 5v5. I expect we'll cool off on the powerplay a little and start finishing at a slightly higher rate 5v5 and it will even out as some of our top-end players return from covid protocol.

Not 5v5 goals. the GF/60 is worst in the NHL and 5v5 Goals/GP is the lowest in the NHL. Overall goals/GP is 19th. PP (5v4) is doing well though.

Agree it's still small sample sizes so 1 game can make a big swing given the limited number of games.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Oh, I'm not complaining at all. Just pointing out that sometimes, shutting down another team can also limit scoring. As they get more games under their belts, I suspect it will even out some.

I'll take wins any day of the week, regardless of how they get them.

Should’ve kept Darling
