Hey guys
Watched the game last night, and hope we up the effort a bit.

I have to admit, I was a little torn on last night’s game. The win was nice, but they honestly should have lost based on how lethargic they played for long stretches. Games like that are tough to come up with postgame questions for…you can’t exactly go into the locker room and say “well, you played like crap but you won, your thoughts?”
by Brian LeBlanc on Feb 18, 2012 6:51 PM EST up reply actions
Brian, last night was only the 2nd game I have seen in person this year, and I thought the play in the 1st 2 periods was in our favor. However, to have that 3rd period against a team that had played the night before was a little disappointing. I think PDawg did fine. But the defense needed a little bit of work.
It was an ugly win, no doubt, and I have to admit I thought Peters would mess up. However, after Muller, we’ve not submitted to the pressure as easily as earlier.
by NorwegianCaniac on Feb 18, 2012 6:58 PM EST up reply actions
However, instead of ripping the Sharks apart, like we should have considering their game the night before, we kind of leaned back for the second half of the game, which was really bad. Giving them the momentum like that is never good, and a team with initially no legs, suddenlt finds them.
by NorwegianCaniac on Feb 18, 2012 7:00 PM EST up reply actions
Well said Brian, I hope Captin Kirk told the team a much better effort will be needed tonight in order to win, otherwise were going home with a 1 game loosing streak.
60 mins is what its going to take

yeah - like knocking his ass to the ice whenever he has the puck.
we need our defensive corp getting tougher with the hits in the corners, more hip checks, and generally getting nasty with the opposing puck handlers

Good luck with that. I’m almost at the point with him where you just say screw it and focus on shutting everyone else on the team down. Make him beat you 1 on 5.

It’s not just the power play that needs a wakeup call.
Also, I think we can now rule the Flyers out of any possibility of being suitors for Allen. His price just went down, I think.

Should have scored there!

Joslin in Front of the Net is a Good Thing
Joslin could be a force in front of the net. He also drilled Grabner, with a clean hit. I think this kind of fourth line is what Muller, MacLean, and Brind’Amour have in mind.
We surely picked up our game after Sutter’s goal. I like what I’m seeing thus far overall.
by NorwegianCaniac on Feb 18, 2012 7:43 PM EST reply actions
Sutter’s goal woke us up. Been much better after that.
by NorwegianCaniac on Feb 18, 2012 7:45 PM EST up reply actions
Well, the momentum from Sutter’s goal carried through to the second. What a pass from Samson to Tlusty, who gives the Canes a 2-1 lead just :10 into the second period.
Ironic, given that one reason they traded for him was familiarity with Maurice. He’s playing better under a coach with whom he had no prior relationship.
by Brian LeBlanc on Feb 18, 2012 8:03 PM EST up reply actions
We are suddenly leading the islanders 2-1 early in the second period and Tripp thinks we suddenly have a chance at the playoffs

Again, he’s so good that you almost have to concede that he’s going to score at some point. When he’s doing stuff like that, I don’t care if you have six Charas on your blue line, it doesn’t make a bit of difference.

you gotta have the right defensive player on him...spacek not so much

As an aside, is it a good or a bad thing that Tlusty is fourth on the team with fourteen goals? As in, is he having a career year, or is he only there because others haven’t been pulling their slack?
Discuss.
Juice looks like his focusing more on his 2 way game, though last time I checked his not playing on our 3rd line..

Goaltending depth is something this team has plenty of. However, when three of those goalies are on the shelf (Ward, Boucher, Murphy)…well, no team’s got depth to overcome that.
How long is Murphy out?

He’s probably within a couple weeks of returning, and the Checkers are really in over their head without him and with Peters in Carolina. It’s been Muse (who, to his credit, has been playing some great hockey) and Fill-In Tryout Contract Of The Week for over a month in Charlotte.

Well, they could, but there are two issues: (1) they’d have to sign him to an NHL deal (which is really a formality), and (2) what are the Checkers going to do then? They’d be starting a tryout, in all likelihood. I doubt the Canes would stick them with that scenario.

if Murphy cannot backup on Monday, the Canes are signing Muse to a NHL contract. He had a reliable source, couldnt get name.
