The starting goalies:
Ward's stats improved tremendously after the last game. Vokoun is always tough and has faced 88 shots already in just two games.
The Panthers just signed Dominic Moore, but as of this morning he had yet to report. He could always be a last minute addition, but if he's en route hopefully he does not get a police escort from the airport like one lucky Finn did.
Will diving be called this game? The referees are Chris Rooney and Stephane Auger.

refs?
I don’t know those names. Is there any history to be concerned about?

Quick search of a fan board with knowledgeable opinions on officials yields general satisfaction with Chris Rooney (who is characterized as “one of the new guys”) and general disdain for Stephane Auger.
Among Auger’s apparently alleged sins are a propensity for calling the ticky-tack foul while seemingly ignoring a few blatant ones.
We’ll see.
good to know
With my son’s baseball game, I’m outta here at 7:15 then I’ll get the game via DVR later. Go Canes! Keep the faith, Caniacs!
Let's go Canes!

not me, I am watching on center ice…took me a second to log in after the second goal.
by PittsburghCaniac on Oct 9, 2009 7:27 PM EDT reply actions
that shorty by Kostopoulos was AWESOME!!! WOW he worked to steal that puck…just happy it went in after that move.
by PittsburghCaniac on Oct 9, 2009 7:29 PM EDT reply actions
OK!!!! It would be a fantastic time to work on those power play states….LETS GO CANES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man I hate to call it, but this PP was on a weak call…
Hope it don’t come back as an even up call and hurt us later..
A
me too, but I will take it for now…and hopefully it comes giftwrapped with a goal.

I drove over two hours to be here at the game tonight and I’m embarrased of the attendance tonight. For a friday night game this is SAD VERY SAD!!!!!!!
by canescup on Oct 9, 2009 7:33 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
Yeah…Panthers games don’t get a big draw. I wish our attendance would stay strong after last year though.

DAMMIT special teams sucks!!!!!
Well minus the shorty…
Blow a full minute of 5-3, man the PP just is dismal…
I just don’t get it….
A
Yep, right there with you minus some swear words that I try my best to keep off this site….need to save them for major playoff game winning goals!
by PittsburghCaniac on Oct 9, 2009 7:41 PM EDT up reply actions
I’ve just never been when there was this many seats empty. IT’S FRIDAY NIGHT!
by canescup on Oct 9, 2009 7:38 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
I attended games in 2000 when elskling and I were the only two people in our section.
Attendance has improved. 16K+ at the Tampa game on a Tuesday was very encouraging.
On the other hand, people appear to be busy on a Friday night…or so my invitees seemed to be.
and the 5-5 is BETTER THAN THE PP!!!! AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by PittsburghCaniac on Oct 9, 2009 7:41 PM EDT reply actions
I hope Florida doesnt provide them with a clinic on how to score on the PP.
by PittsburghCaniac on Oct 9, 2009 7:44 PM EDT up reply actions
yeah, hes been swallowing the puck up pretty well.
by PittsburghCaniac on Oct 9, 2009 7:45 PM EDT up reply actions
little to close at the end of the period…all and all (MINUS WHEN WE ARE ON THE PP), best period of the year…..
by PittsburghCaniac on Oct 9, 2009 7:47 PM EDT reply actions
Hey kids, keep on rubbing them rabbits feet. The Canes are looking good 5-5, pretty dam good down a guy (a little too often on that), but our PP sucks and Booth the dragon slayer has not reared his head. I think if Booth scores the pussy cats may find a pulse. If Staal scores, this gets ugly, like a 6-0 or 7-1 crushing.
A
Staal does look really good tonight he’ll get one tonight before it’s over.

How have the boys in Albany been doing so far this season?
This is the first season since the lockout that I’ve been interested in them.
Man, Conboy just crushed Suckmycuff something or other…
Nice he showed up!! The team looks like they finaly showed up.
Makes one wonder what would be if the pre-season were a tad bit longer….
A
Preseason is part of it, but we went up against a much improved defensive team with Philly in the first one, (with our offense still waking up and our pp not off its feet) and then we went up to Boston the very next night and played a team that still hated us from last season. They just wanted it more. That’s why we went 0-2. It’s no surprise to see us doing better against the Lightning and the Panthers.
It's you
They called his name earlier. Talked about several things. Shot on goal, face offs. Glad they got to call his name for a goal though. That’s awesome. yeah.
Love, love, love the Canes!
Nice, lets play some great D in the third and put the kitties in the litter box.

I goota say there are glimmers of a sweet team here, good work, hard effort, pickingh shit up…
but it’s against the Panthers?
Man I hope this is the catalyst. All the guys have some effort. Too many have been squelched though. Staal, nothing to sperak of except great effort, Cullen had the same and is now hushed, Sami is doing well, Ruu, is doing well, hell it’s a great mix and match up.
It’s against a loser team though…..
When these guys…or whomever “they” assemble plays this well or better against the real players, then we got soemthing…
But t his is a good start. Killing a team Booth is on is a good place to begin a run!!!!
A
Funny interview at the break on the panther feed..
They were touiting the Booth 6 byr deal….
Duh…
I mean good job and all, but what else did they do?
I feel sorry for Booth, not enough tools to work with, reminds me of….say….Staal a couple years ago….
A
thank god- the man is killing my fantasty stats!!! (as Bob smiles :) )

This is my favorite game of the year, very enjoyable. There is nothing better than slamming a divisional opponent.

New D
I love what Harrison and Alberts are bringing to the team. Tough, physical, and just plain mean. We’ve needed that for a while and its here. Plus both of them were more than willing to stop for autographs for my kids after mondays practice. 2 thumbs up each.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The black uni’s work their magic once again. Anyone know our record in the uni’s after tonight’s game?
What a great game!
Love that game. So many positives. Just a lot of fun to watch. Florida just wasn’t near the competition of the first 3 games. The guys really skated and seemed in sync.
Love, love, love the Canes!
Excellent Game!!!
What a way to start the weekend. 7 different players scored and Staal wasn’t one of them. I hate it that Erick didn’t score, but the bigger issue here is that the Canes had 7 guys put one on the board, which is a huge statement to our club. That statement is DEPTH. Every team needs depth, you can’t just depend on two or three guys to win all your games for you. Tonight was a very positive and uplifting game for the Canes.
Just got back from the game; haven’t read this whole thread so forgive me if there is some redundancy. A really sparse crowd kind of surprised (and disappointed) me, but I would like to think that I cheered enough to make up for it. :) The score makes it a little lopsided, but I really was impressed with the new additions who I hadn’t seen in person until now. Alberts may be the biggest person I have ever seen. Wallin had a monster night (and could have been a star of the game IMO)-that play to clear the puck at the front of the net in the third period was amazing. I also watched Rod very closely and was really impressed. Obviously him putting up two points was big, but I thought he had a really strong game all around. There was one turnover that I saw, but he hustled back (he’s skating really well) to take care of things. Cullen had a great game too-he’s taking the contract year thing seriously. The big thing I saw was that they took advantage of the chances they had. Ruutu, TKO, Whitney, Jokinen all had very clear scoring opportunities and they capitalized on them. The same thing couldn’t have been said about the team after the previous game. Very happy I made it up here!
