Stanley will be in the building and he’s coming back to Raleigh one way or another. Hopefully, it’s in the Canes charter, not the league’s. RBA says “everyone’s available”. Really the only question is if Andersen dresses as the backup or EBUG. For Vegas, how do they replace Karlsson? Move...

A chance to move 1 win away. RBA again played it coy when asked who was starting in goal tonight. They’re skating this morning at 10:30 so we’ll see, although he could just mess with us and put Jorge in the starter’s crease. Hart has been bad on the other side and Torts has a Cup winning...

A must win for the Canes. All except Andersen were present at practice yesterday, including William Carrier. Based on the lines at practice, it appears that first line Martinook remains in place. RBA said he knows who will start in goal but isn’t saying. ABC for TV, Mike and Tripp on radio...

Hopefully the series momentum flew west with the team. The Canes are 6-0 on the road in the playoffs, outscoring the opponents 20-8. A bad start, a rousing comeback, a bad challenge and 2 power play goals all made an appearance on Thursday. Hopefully the game winner jumpstarts Jarvis and Aho...

Short and sweet since I’m in line at La Farm at the airport. Play better defense ABC for TV, Mike and Tripp on radio, Forslund on national radio.

Something we haven’t seen in Raleigh in 20 years. The team has remained remarkably healthy during the playoffs, Ehlers missed a game against Ottawa, Nikishin missed 2 against Philly. Everyone else has played all 13 games. No changes at practice yesterday either. Vegas brings the top playoff...

The Prince of Wales Trophy will be in the house. Hopefully we get to see it presented. The Canes struck for 3 goals in under 3 minutes to put Wednesday‘s game away early. Montreal was held to 18 shots as Freddie Andersen pitched his 3rd shutout of the playoffs. They didn’t skate yesterday...

With the West locked in, the Canes look to put a stranglehold on the East. Since the Habs explosion in the first period of game 1, it’s been Canes hockey at its finest. Limit time and space and suppress shots. They had 13 shots in the first period, as many as they took in game 3 and more than...

The series shifts to La Belle Province (no, not the fast food chain) After a rousing OT win, the teams are back to level, although the Habs have snatched home ice. The Canes limited the Habs to just 12 shots on goal, with 7 of them in the 3rd and none in OT. Home ice hasn’t been kind to the...

Let’s try this again, shall we? The team didn’t practice yesterday but to a man, they all know how poorly they played on Thursday. The awakening of Aho’s line 33 seconds in was a false hope. While Andersen was left on an island too frequently, I have to think he’s on a short leash tonight...

It’s been 84 years… The Canes come in off a 12 day layoff. They’ve practiced in between series to “keep the knife sharpened”. Jarvis sad the intensity ramped up this week. They’re skating this morning but it should be business as usual. The Habs come in off 2 - 7 game series, with Alex...

A chance to make history. Since the 4 rounds of 7 games started in 1987, no team has started 8-0. No morning skate, no changes expected. Lots of whining from Tocchet about how they’re not equipped for penalty fests. Buddy, you’re getting outscored at even strength too. If Tippett comes back…...

Note the late start time. As in the first round,the Canws look to put a stranglehold on the series in the first road game. Taylor Hall remained red hot, netting the game winner with less than 2 minutes to go in thr first OT on Monday. His 9 points in the playoffs is 2 off the NHL lead...

The Canes look to make it 6 straight. Stankoven’s line remained on fire with Stanky scoring twice and Blake adding the other and an assist on Stanky’s first. Hall assisted on Blake’s goal, Mike Reilly came out of the press box and added 2 assists. The Canes still haven’t gotten anything out...

Another first time playoff meeting. As they did with round 1, the Canes kick off the league's 2nd round. The weak layoff did the injured some good. Nikishin cleared concussion protocol and Ehlers recovered from his lower body injury. He was the only player to play all 82 games, so the rest...

The Canes look to be the first team to advance and they look to sweep their first series win the 2019 2nd round. Stankoven is on a serious heater and his line is the only one producing. They’ve accounted for 5 of the 7 goals the Canes have scored and Hall and Blake are the top assisters...

The series moves north and the Canes try to put a stranglehold on it. Stankoven is ridiculously hot with a 10 game point streak. We’ll see how the Sens match up against him with the benefit of last change. There were no changes at practice yesterday and Andersen was in the starter’s crease...

ESPN gave us an early start, now we get a slightly later start. The Canes will try to take a 2-0 lead to Ottawa later this week. Teams with a 2-0 lead win the series roughly 86% of the time if Google’s AI overview is to be believed. I don’t expect Tkachuk to start something at the faceoff...

It begins. Most of what can be said was said in the preview thread. One area of concern for the Canes; faceoffs. Ottawa tied for first in the league in faceoff win % at 54.2%. The Canes were 16th at. 50.1%. For a team that relies on puck possession, winning faceoffs is key. Staal took the...
