8 minutes in, 1 SOG, GOTTA DO BETTER THAN THAT!!

by jenniwa30 on Apr 15, 2009 7:51 PM EDT reply actions

interesting start. withstood a little storm there and now the ice has been pretty evenly tilted. first line is physical but hasnt had much offensively outside of the transition game. im kind of intrigued by our fourth line tonight. cullen + eaves are two guys who can score, and conboy has the grit. we shall see

by Iggy Reilly on Apr 15, 2009 7:53 PM EDT reply actions

Canes are moving the puck well…and Cole and LaRose have the fast skates again tonight

by joemullen#7 on Apr 15, 2009 7:55 PM EDT up reply actions

much better 2nd segment than 1st

by mojo944 on Apr 15, 2009 7:56 PM EDT reply actions

Gah. Another PK.

by Tachi828 on Apr 15, 2009 8:01 PM EDT reply actions

Great……canes really need to kill this one.

by Iggy Reilly on Apr 15, 2009 8:02 PM EDT reply actions

Ugh… two penalties in the first 15 minutes? What happened to our discipline?

by David Tokarz on Apr 15, 2009 8:02 PM EDT reply actions

Oh man, this is too tense. I don’t think I’m going to survive a single series without a stroke or two.

by Raccoon Fink on Apr 15, 2009 8:02 PM EDT reply actions

come on chad you gotta get that puck…..cam shoulda had that too. weak goal all around.

by Iggy Reilly on Apr 15, 2009 8:05 PM EDT reply actions

Mo just said 1st period done, down by one, and away we go. How cool is that? No pressure, coach. We can come back from this.

the canes are playing uninspired, i dont get the feeling that they are playing playoff hockey yet….

by mojo944 on Apr 15, 2009 8:29 PM EDT reply actions

I wouldn’t say uninspired, just haven’t found their groove yet…?

by jenniwa30 on Apr 15, 2009 8:31 PM EDT up reply actions

whatever it is, they better find it quick…

by mojo944 on Apr 15, 2009 8:32 PM EDT up reply actions

AMEN!!

by jenniwa30 on Apr 15, 2009 8:34 PM EDT up reply actions

yeah it was a weak first period, they were just slightly off on most of their chances, and faded as th eperiod went on. thats alright, period #1 of hopefully a lot more hockey left.

by Iggy Reilly on Apr 15, 2009 8:31 PM EDT reply actions

weak……this game is done if the canes dont wake up. they just let him walk right in

by Iggy Reilly on Apr 15, 2009 8:31 PM EDT reply actions

I can’t help but come back for this.
1) I don’t really want to see Cully pick his nose, and
2) CRAP! crap crap crap crap crap

by Andrea's evil twin on Apr 15, 2009 8:32 PM EDT reply actions

LOL!!

by jenniwa30 on Apr 15, 2009 8:33 PM EDT up reply actions

I’ve noticed that the Canes are dumping the puck alot and thats fine…but we need to bring the puck across the blue line with speed.

my 2 cents

by joemullen#7 on Apr 15, 2009 8:38 PM EDT reply actions

That is not O.K.! I hate all that dumpin crap, reminds me of Lavi days… Lavi who said we wont beat the Devils…

by jenniwa30 on Apr 15, 2009 8:40 PM EDT up reply actions

I think they dump when there is dmen at blue line…
to make sure the puck gets deep.

But they really need to utilize cole and larose speed

by joemullen#7 on Apr 15, 2009 8:43 PM EDT up reply actions

thats his job…now….to give his opinion and stir the pot up.

by joemullen#7 on Apr 15, 2009 8:45 PM EDT up reply actions

let’s hope he is proved wrong!! ;)

by jenniwa30 on Apr 15, 2009 8:48 PM EDT up reply actions

yeah I know what you mean though…still sucks to hear it ..ya know

by joemullen#7 on Apr 15, 2009 8:49 PM EDT up reply actions

has timmy g been in the game at all? i dont think ive heard his name once…

Also if anyones interested at the end of 2 in both games NY is winning 3-2 over the caps and the penguins are beating the the flyers 2-0

by joemullen#7 on Apr 15, 2009 8:50 PM EDT reply actions

I wouldn’t call it uninspired. I would call it terrible.

by Andrea's evil twin on Apr 15, 2009 8:51 PM EDT reply actions

exactly

by David Tokarz on Apr 15, 2009 8:53 PM EDT up reply actions

way to win those battles for the puck in the corner there. oh wait nevermind they lost that puck battle, again.

devils want it more. all there is to it.

by Iggy Reilly on Apr 15, 2009 8:51 PM EDT reply actions

all 3 of their goals have come from lost battles in our zone, and the last 2 came from below our goal line…

by mojo944 on Apr 15, 2009 8:51 PM EDT reply actions

1st goal was a decent screen…
2nd goal staal got knocked on his can, nick was skating away from the puck handler.
3rd goal…was just Devils hustle

your right mojo

i’d just like to say that we were blown out in game one of the opening round in 2006…and that was at home…so yes it sucks, but we should be able to fix our defensive problems and play a much more solid game friday

by mariokohler on Apr 15, 2009 9:03 PM EDT reply actions

Yep, Montreal whipped the Canes badly that first game

GM of CanesCountry.com

by Bob Wage on Apr 15, 2009 9:05 PM EDT up reply actions

Poor Cam, 30 shots already…we can’t even get the freakin puck!!!

by jenniwa30 on Apr 15, 2009 9:03 PM EDT reply actions

at least we start the 3rd on the pp

by mojo944 on Apr 15, 2009 9:04 PM EDT reply actions

Caps and Rangers have a barn burner going on, 3-3

GM of CanesCountry.com

by Bob Wage on Apr 15, 2009 9:09 PM EDT reply actions

Seems like defense has been mostly OK, with a couple of giveaways that shouldn’t happen, but other than a few shifts, we’re just not making ANYTHING happen in their zone. ERGH.

Hey guys, just checkin in. Disappointing obviously but my head is up. We just look so slow to the puck and NJ is looking like the Red Wings out there…seems like they have 12 guys on the ice, always in the right place.

Devils are lookin good, unfortunately

Hey CC…don’t know …why either

by joemullen#7 on Apr 15, 2009 9:22 PM EDT up reply actions

Just an observation…why is the NHL network showing an old game rerun…you would think they
would have a live show to showcase the playoffs…
I just don’t understand the leauge sometimes.

any ideas

by joemullen#7 on Apr 15, 2009 9:21 PM EDT reply actions

They SELL the rights so they can make more $$$$$$$

by jenniwa30 on Apr 15, 2009 9:22 PM EDT up reply actions

not even a live 1 hour show…not the games ,,but commentary and stuff…around the league feeds…showing the fans and interviews…

by joemullen#7 on Apr 15, 2009 9:24 PM EDT up reply actions

Thats because they know no one is watching.. I agree doesnt make sense????

by jenniwa30 on Apr 15, 2009 9:26 PM EDT up reply actions

at least it’s not NHL on the Fly for the 50th time!!
