Sounds like Turbo was in a normal practice jersey today so maybe he’s close. 
2022-23 Canes Misc. Thread
- Thread starter andyt

The delay isn't all bad. He'd better be fully ready to take contact before coming back though. Florida is gonna try to knock the Canes around. Guaranteed.Sounds like Turbo was in a normal practice jersey today so maybe he’s close.

If Turbo is cleared to play I'm ok with him slotting in for MacEachern AND getting just MacEachern's minutes to start. Give him 10 minutes of 5 on 5 time with Stepan and Stastny, hold off on putting him out there on the PP or PK for at least the first game.
Heck Turbo-Stepan-Stastny is a pretty darn good 4th line.

The odds of that greasy prick Bennett taking someone out is almost guaranteed. For a sidebet I’m sure Vegas odds are high on that. You always hope hockey karma comes calling for guys like Bennett and Gudas.
So ESPN passed on Carolina/Florida so they could send their goblins to Vegas. Shocking I tell you. Shocking.

It is ok. I’d rather be on Hallmark then ESPN anyway
Carolina is pretty much the betting favorite across the board at this point, although I've seen a couple of models that predict a 50/50 tossup in the series with Florida. That's all well and good for the folks who are hung up on people loving their team, but this final four is tighter than most in recent memory and personally I think it means next to nothing.
Dom Luspellcheck and The Athletic staff show it as a toss up, slightly favoring the Canes. They say the difference is home ice and Turbo’s availability.
FWIW, Dom's model has under-valued the Canes all season for some reason ... but in general, I'm seeing this one as a tossup too. I think this Florida series is gonna be a freaking alley fight

I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue
If the Canes make the Final, I prefer Vegas for an opponent (for goalie reasons) so I'm rootin' for ya

I think Florida is going to be a TOUGH opponent. That has 7 game series written all over it!
Pick an odd number greater than 7 and this series can get there. As long as the goaltending on both sides holds up.
