#breaking: Justin Faulk’s gonna go far, kid. Just ask Joe Pavelski, who got poke checked at center ice while trying to start a 2-on-1. Heck of an under-the-radar play buy a guy who’s quickly becoming quite good at them.

Speak of the devil. Canes cash in on the power play with the aforementioned Faulk, who scores his 5th at 10:34 on a sneaky backdoor play and a great pass by Tlusty.

McBain should have two assists on those goals by the sharks…Just clear it along the boards!!!

by bready86 on Feb 17, 2012 9:09 PM EST via mobile reply actions  

It does seem McBain has a tendency to clear towards the middle.

by b.axeman on Feb 17, 2012 9:09 PM EST up reply actions  

And being a lefty playing RD, he has to do alot of backhand clears. The team could really benefit from more lefty/righty balance at D.

by b.axeman on Feb 17, 2012 9:10 PM EST up reply actions  

Yeah I guess that helps account for all his soft clears. It just makes me cring when McBain is forced to try to clear the zone.

by bready86 on Feb 17, 2012 9:17 PM EST via mobile up reply actions  

OOPS I was wrong – McBain shoots right handed. Just soft clears.

I don’t think Peters has been bad. The last one seems more on the team for failing to clear, even though it was a bit soft. Am I wrong?

You can blame him for being off his post just enough to allow Burns’ shot through, but yeah, that’s a non-issue if the defensemen just do their freakin’ jobs.

by Brian LeBlanc on Feb 17, 2012 9:14 PM EST up reply actions  

Only 2 shots on goal this period, that`s not enough if were going to win this game in reg.

Why would we do that when we can just lose it in OT?

And then after all that, McBain takes a shot that’s tipped by Jokinen in the high slot to give the Canes the lead again at 11:55. Perfect tip.

If the Canes win, Peters sure won’t have backed into this one. 32 saves and none bigger than robbing Marleau. San Jose calls timeout.

Just like the rest of this game, the last minute is about as slow as the last minute of an NBA game.

But still not as slow as the NFL.

Diamond in the ruff?

by CruelIn10tions on Feb 17, 2012 10:50 PM EST via mobile up reply actions  

AJ Jenks was highly ranked before he had a serious heart issue that required surgical repair, if I am recalling correctly, He essentially lost a year of development. He is a big, fast, highly motivated guy who is defensively sound. He always had offensive skills, but he lost some timing and confidence it seemed. Dadonov has superb skills, but probably needs to assert himself more on the ice. Dadonov is a player who is really fun to watch even when he doesn’t score goals because he plays a complete game. So I am not really shocked that AJ Jenks is doing very well. These bigger players also seem to take a little longer to find their game.
