Great game by Darling. The key is to build on it now, but this is what he's capable of and why we traded for him
GDT: We got this, the Caps are Dun and don!

John always has that look like, please stop talking. Same look I have when my wife goes on and on about something I really don't care about.

This is the Darling we deserve.
Give us 25 or so more of these, and keep making the f***ing saves!

Another good note is CBJ lost in regulation.

Honestly would love to see John borrow/paraphrase a line from Tony Caridi "It's a great day to be a Caniac, wherever you may be"

Small problem is Philadelphia they have a game in hand on us. We need to beat them.

Gerrymandering?

Flames are leading 5:1 vs Tampa - soon we are playing Flames ourselves...
Interesting.
The best I've seen Darling play in a Carolina uniform was the game against Columbus. What I noticed then and I noticed in what I briefly saw tonight is that Darling looked much more in control with greater defensive support. That is to say, he has looked better when the Canes play a conservative brand of defensive hockey. When things open up and the team allows the opposition to attack with speed, it has been a struggle for him. I sometimes wonder if the system the Canes generally want to play is well suited for a goalie of his size, or Lack's for that matter.
Perhaps this is just confirmation bias on my part, though.
I wouldn't trust him with that job..

Meh
We will have 4 or 5 chances to do that, still no games vs them yet, same goes for Devils.
Guys, why do you think Peters had again separated Aho and Teräväinen? They have so great chemistry together, that it is really fun to watch that line when they play together with Staal. Not that Lindholm is bad or anything, but in my opinion the line with Lindholm there instead of Teräväinen is not as dynamic. Maybe it works better defensively though? And anyway it was a great win, so I’m not really complaining. Just trying to better understand the thinking behind the line change. Spreading offensive wealth maybe? And also making Staal’s line better defensively against the tough Capitals?

I kind of think that's what we'd want though. If we beat them, we get in. If we don't, they get it. Just need to take care of business.

Speculating, but probably because the Skinner line was so bad the last couple of games and on the road, the other team can dictate matchups. So he changed it up to spread the wealth a bit.

Following the standings every day is simply gerrymandering.
It changes every day.
It changes every day.
Lindholm was putting up Teravainen's numbers next to Staal and Aho in the 2nd half last season.
I think they're interchangeable, really.

I wish we had a sniper to put on that line with Aho and Staal. neither TT nor Lindholm count as that.
