Looking forward to this. Haven’t watched the Canes in a long time due to school/exams and the likes. Caught bits and pieces of the Boston game, and I liked what I saw!

One team looks like it’s skating in quicksand, and it’s not the one that played last night 1000 miles away.
To use a too-often-used cliche, the ice is the same for both teams.

Biggest check of the night is laid by Patrick Dwyer on referee Stephane Auger. Nasty, awkward spill and Auger is favoring his right arm. Could have been a lot worse…it looked dangerous. Canes back to the power play on a Trevor Lewis penalty.
tvscreen showed Gleason who did that...I must have blinked :-)

Harrison hurt in the Kings’ zone, looks like a knee or a cramp of some sort. Definitely lower body. He could barely stay upright on the bench. Now back in the locker room.
Update: hurt blocking a shot. Ergo, probably a foot injury of some kind.

Gleason with a takedown of Kyle Clifford in front of the Canes’ net. Which is all well and good, but he has to be smarter than that. Canes are now down to four defensemen with his penalty and Harrison’s injury.
4 shots on goal in a period is not going to get the job done, especially when you have two powerplays
shots on goal, Kings 8, Canes 4

How many other teams have their entire fourth line on the PP?

How can you go from beating the Bruins on the road to being dominated at home by a tired team playing their back-up?
This is outright atrocious.

and it sounds like they are into it!
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting"..........holy cow.......what a ride!"
Right now, they sure are. Haven’t had much to get excited about, but that goal did what Gleason tried to do with his fight in the first. The crowd is buzzing and the Canes are responding.

Great break-a-way goal!

Canes are 5-10-4 when tied after two periods. The kings are 7-1-5 when tied after two

Doesn’t that title belong to Tore Vikingstad?
by Brian LeBlanc on Feb 4, 2012 9:00 PM EST up reply actions
Wow, do you know that guy? No, but why should it? It was originally a Game of Thrones-reference actually. Would make a fantastic headline on NHL.com. If Skinner scores a hat-trick or something.

Greg Wyshynski on Puck Daddy discovered him a couple of years ago during the Olympics. Been a running joke ever since.
by Brian LeBlanc on Feb 4, 2012 9:09 PM EST up reply actions
Never caught that. Any reason as to why?
by NorwegianCaniac on Feb 4, 2012 9:11 PM EST up reply actions
Just because his name is Tore Vikingstad, I guess. No good reason otherwise.
(And, besides, Espen Knutsen isn’t around anymore to hold the mantle of Famous Norwegians Marginally Connected To The NHL).
by Brian LeBlanc on Feb 4, 2012 9:13 PM EST up reply actions
Zuccarello is though. Hope he gets traded. Takes a lot of piss for his size, but certainly a bigger talent than Knutsen imo. Some young guns coming up. Hockey on the rise here.

He’s with the Rangers by the by. Scored his first ever goal against Carolina in fact.

And with good reason – he was hooked, roughed and roughed again with no call. Apparently they’re Letting The Boys Play, which is just lovely.

Wait a second!
Why did they just put 1.8 seconds back on the clock? Glad there was no last second controversy in the game tonight – Canes won fair and square
Well, i missed the first, and since I had to wath it on the computer…again….because it was on NHL network and NOT conter Ice, I didn’t comment during the thread. Saw the comments about a bad start, and listened to the Kings announcers talk about the great start but then how the Canes evened things out and started re-attacking.
This team plays better defense with a better offense than any year under Mo….and given how Mo was supposedly a defensive focsed coach, it just seems to further indicate Mo should have been gone even sooner. Our GAA after Muller and Co. is looking absolutley fabulous in 2012. Given we’re missing Pitkanen, I’m thinking our defense should stay pretty solid going forward.
Now add some up front better scoring talent, draft, trade, FA, whatever, and we might have something.
Nice effort tonight in the last two periods.
At this point it would have to be Nash, especially after seeing him play on the fourth line tonight. I could see them moving Bowman back down after a few more games and calling Dalpe or Boychuk up, but barring an injury I think he hangs around at least for this road trip.
by Brian LeBlanc on Feb 4, 2012 11:41 PM EST up reply actions
Anyone in Charlotte have an opinion on Dadonov? His stat line is not great (considering 33% of his points come from an EN goal and his assist tonight was a secondary).
Boychuk has been taking BAD penalty’s in the game on friday he had 4 ,last night he got a 5min boarding penalty ,and at this point his ship may have sailed ,as with alot of player’s in Charlotte…Imo if your 24-25yrs old ,and a RFA/UFA it’s see ya in Charlotte with all the JR’s coming up it wouldn’t surprise me if 8-9 player’s are not offered contract’s…As for the Canes imo I’d be real surpised to see LaRose/Dwyer/Stewart next year in LaRose’s case it seems the team just play’s better without him for what ever reason it may be. Dwyer is a good soldier ,but can’t score at all ,and at one point that has to be considered even at his low contract. Stewart is just not consistent ,and that bad cross checking penalty last night is a good example.
I disagree
LaRose is a quality forward with the kind of grit that coaches look for in a bottom 6 player. Dwyer can score, but he is not on a line that is designed to score. He has amassed some goals this year, a couple of which were shorthanded. Stewart probably isn’t going to amount to much more than a 4th line player.

JR has to make room
For the young guy’s ,and as it looks those 3 look like the odd men out in clearing roster space ,as there are 2-3 on the Checkers plus Rask/B.Sutter/G.Hoffman one of which could make the team ,and not to mention our#1 pick this year ,so they will be body’s moved.
