WTF is Kochetkov thinking?

If it's Freddie, I hope it's nothing but a bump in the road. He's been on fire lately, as this Breakaway On SI article notes today - https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nhl/hurricanes-goalie-off-to-blistering-start/ar-AA1t4Hde?ocid=entnewsntp&pc=U531&cvid=2802727a074547cba72910fde315fbb0&ei=22

Probably a bad Dungeness crab.

These late games are taking a toll. I feel like I'm auditioning for a role in a Walking Dead series.

Managed to stay up until the end. Great win by the Canes. Would have liked to see another PP goal with so many chances, but at least both units looked good, and the PK was really solid. Once again, Freddie was excellent and there were no passengers.

We were slow to start the 1st but took over after the first 6 minutes or so. I think we looked noticeably tired in parts of the game as it wore on, but overall, a very hard-earned win to sweep the Albertians. Kudos to Kotchetkov, who needed a good performance and delivered. Much like the...

Absolutely. The Ghost has been incredibly good in all aspects so far this season.

Yeah, I admit that I enjoy watching the opposing broadcast when we win, too. But the announcers really did a nice job.

OK, I tuned out for a while after we trailed 0-2, but came back and decided to stay up late to see the Canes catch up and get the win. Freddie saved our bacon, especially during the last 5 minutes of regulation play when the Oilers had all the offensive momentum. That was about as good an OT as...

That worked part of the time for me, but often when I stopped fast forwarding to see where I was, I couldn't push beyond that dreadful Commercial Break in Progress, even though I still hadn't caught up to live broadcast.

Yup. Not saying any were on him, but Kotchetkov needs to win games for us. Glad we came back to tie it temporarily. PK and PP were good. Ghost is doing it. Move on.

Wow. Canes really struggling in the 2nd.

Great teamwork last night! Shutting down Crosby's line and demonstrating what it means to have four lines you can depend on (unlike the Pens). Good to see KK's grit and hustle the last two games. We could have scored more - I think the Pens may have to replace their goal bars after the way...

Well, I just signed up for the Bally app - $124.99 for just the Canes (and the Hornets, which I will never watch) and runs through April.

Great game last night and a complete 180 degrees from Friday. Our forecheck was relentless and we applied constant pressure for most of the game. I think all of the players stepped up, including KK and Orlov. Loved seeing Blake get his first NHL goal, but that phantom tripping penalty on him...

Yeah, obviously one game does not make for a sound predictor of what happens in the future. I thought the chaos created by Necas and Roslovic on the same line might end up being good - like multiplying two negative numbers to get a positive - but time will tell. It would also help if KK could do...

Exactly, on all points. Crappy effort by the Canes - we looked out of sync the entire game and our puck possession was almost nonexistent. The refs sucked, but so did we. I honestly don't know what's going on with Orlov. He's been terrible in the preseason and now tonight. Fortunately, the...

I was thinking the same thing. But I'll be tailgating with friends and enjoying being at the arena after a long hiatus. Life is good.

Cory's article on how the Canes have Mastered the salary cap situation is out today. It almost made me understand how this all works. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5832760/2024/10/10/carolina-hurricanes-salary-cap-roster/?source=dailyemail&campaign=601983&userId=990107

Yeah....there's just so many problems with Bally's streaming service, from everyone I've talked with.
