From Canes Now ... Paul Maurice would not confirm Kaberle will replace Anton Babchuk.

i hate this.
as much as see babchuk make a mistake here and there.
he is one of the real great stories of this year.
i love watching him play and seeing him improve.
i love the full tuck that he holds down for the team. ha
i hope he stays on this team and continues to get better.

but i trust mo after the great decisions hes made this season.

GO CANEs

Yeah, my big problem is that Babchuck has truly looked nervous all post season. Frank has been there done that in terms of Game 7s. I think Babchuck will crap his pants if hes on the ice tonight, but you never know, he could finally break out of his shell and have a great game. Maybe we’ll find out, maybe we won’t.

Yeah, it has been so slow at work this week. I’ve basically been sitting on the internet for three days.

Kabs has the experience….. Plus…. he didn’t play bad when he was healthy this season…. he has more to prove than Babchuck….

And the beautiful thing is…. with this team…. one player change is not going to make a difference to the outcome of the game…..

Why’s Cole back and why did they start to win when he came back? You should know where Iu stand ojn it, just on this team, you never know what one player can make happen, both good and bad.

also, i think the other teams have been targeting babchuk.

by chrisj on May 14, 2009 12:55 PM EDT reply actions

thus puting him in more vulnerable situations, and thus making him look much worse than maybe he actually has been.
we all know the other teams offenses arent targeting pitkanen for example.

It’s fixed now … they updated it and changed the story name, which changes the link.

This move doesn’t exactly fill me with overwhelming relief.

I don’t remember feeling this badly (protecting myself from disappointment with low expectations) before the NJ game 7. Please – someone convince me that there is more than a slim chance of a W tonight! Help!

Easy.

Game 6 had 5 totally forgettable minutes yet the ’Canes played the next 55 minutes 2 to 2.

Had they not put themselves behind the 8-ball by letting the Bruins screw the ’Canes heads on backwards for those first minutes, I think they would have won.

I hear you on that one. But lcd is right – several bone-headed moments from the Canes in game 6, but also many bounces/shots just not going our way in front of TT. If just 2 of those had gone in, we would be saying very different things right now, win or loss. But, again, I’m with you on feeling much worse about this game than… I feel like I should start drinking right now just to calm myself.
