A loss is a forgone conclusion.. Debrincat will make Slavin look silly.

What do you guys think will we win??

5-1 loss

imo

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Play a complete game. Take them seriously.

Im here for the lines

We will lose because Reimer is so huge that Ken Dryden gets special permission from the league offices to install a soccer net on our side of the ice. Since Reimer is not as mobile, Rod then decides to put in Ned for his puck handling skills. But because of his size, he gets deked out by all the Blackhawks shooters who call him "shorty" as they bury the puck in the net.


Probably.

Should be fun.

We are in the reverse retro jerseys tonight.

Although they are better than the whites, Im not a fan of using the Whalers stuff. We arent the whalers.

Fleury returns with a flurry of shots. 0 for 10, 1 post, 1 decks Foegs with a stinger to the crotch.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

We lost last game, so logically, we lose this one. This goes on until we become the worst team in the league, possibly the worst team in NHL history, winning only through pure chance and circumstance. Or maybe we win this game, continuing to do so until we become the greatest team to ever play the sport and Michael Jordan calls Jordan Staal to officially pass on the mantle of "Dream Team"

Or maybe something somewhere in between those two happens. I dunno, I can't predict the future.

I played goalie at a decent level in soccer growing up, and was frequently at soccer camps and whatnot with slightly older kids.

My major weakness? There was an age (~11-12) when I couldn't easily touch the crossbar when everyone else in those camps could. I just got chipped over and over and there was nothing I could do about it.

Your post brought up some things for me.

REVERSE RETRO JERSEY ARE LARGELY TRASH.

Is it or is it not a Dundon era Canes season if at or if not at one point all hope seems to or seems not to be lost?

I used to feel that way but Im not bothered by it anymore. It seems the league wants to keep the Whalers visible for Merch purposes. In the EA NHL game there has been "fans" in the stands with Whalers gear on for years. It othered me at one point cause no other team had something like that. Theres no Thrasher gear at the Jets no old Jets gear at the Yotes, No Nordiques gear at the Avs, but yet theres Whale gear at Canes games.

Anyway who cares now. I hope TD makes merch money to dump back into the team because of it.

Lets try NOT giving up a cushy 2 goal lead...again...

So you are suggesting we go for giving up a 3 goal lead this time?

 

[Unsustainable]

Winning seems like a good idea

I like this idea... We should try it out... And then if it feels good to all of us do it again and again and again.

 

[WreckingCrew]

Who are you, the Hurricanes strategist? Sounds exactly like what they would say

 

[Derailed75]

In Whales we should just go full on Jerk and drop a 10 spot on them.

 

[Canes]

Canes go up 5-1 early then get outplayed only to lose 6-5 in OT. Not sure that's been done before in the NHL though.

 

[Chrispy]

By definition if you give up a 3 goal lead you've also given up a 2 goal lead.

Don't give up 2 goal leads and all larger leads are safe. It's a brilliant strategy.

It just involves making a ******* save.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Eeking out points against good opponents, as frustrating as an OT loss can be, is a very good thing if you've been winning as consistently (so far) as we have. Hopefully we keep the point streak going today against a surprisingly difficult team. A win would be ideal, of course.

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

WHAT WAS THE HANDLE OF THE GUY WHO SUGGESTED CANES SHOULD LOSE IN OT MORE OFTEN ANYWAY?

Agreed. Have gotten some heat for this, but I will say it again. We need to stop peddling the Whalers crap. Is it nice to pay homage to a defunct team on rare occasion? Maybe. I wont over-analyze that.

The Whalers peddling is a cash grab for more merch sales at the expense of the poor tortured souls in Connecticut. Beautiful logo and colors but leave it in Hartford. If the Canes ever move to Fargo, ND and become the Fargo Huskies, I'm not digging "Hurricanes night" twice a year.

I’ll be honest with you, a lot of those “tortured souls” who are upset about the use, are assholes. Independent of their stance on the usage.
