GDT: Canes v. Devils 12/28 7:00

Haula is maybe the biggest piece of garbage in the league.
How do the Canes not target that piece of shit and send him a message for good. It’s not even like the guy is scary or tough, just run the guy and send him the message that his childish Canes hate and anger is just going to end for good. I have to agree with Kahuna that how do you let that dirtbag run around for free like that with no repercussions?
 
I was often critical of Orlov, but he’s grown on me and I am glad he is a Hurricane. He’s always been dynamic on the offensive end of the ice, but he’s done much better this year picking his spots and playing much better defensively. Plus, he doesn’t take bullshit from the likes of Haula and Wilson. Two grade a scumbag human beings.

I was thinking the same thing. He's still not great defensively, but he has Chatfield to bail him out when he plays too aggressively or gets bottled up. I think he's settled into Rod's system and can really deliver a hard hit and a lethal shot. Also, I liked seeing the fire in him and his reaction after Haula's dirty head hit.
 
Gotta admit that I didn’t see that finish coming. Such a tight game for two periods. The crowd was the loudest it’s been for a little while. Agree that Orlov has really grown on me too. Would be a great playoff series. The teams clearly don’t like each other. I really am beginning to wonder if Svetch’s knee is still not back to where it was, or may never be. Scoring aside, he just doesn’t seem to be able to accelerate to “ramming speed” and many times just looks like he’s playing catchup on defense. Disappointing.

He's noticeably slower and appears lacking in both aggressiveness and confidence.
 
Canes had 41 hits last night, the most in a game since January 29, 2022 when they had 42 hits against the Devils. Carrier, Svech and KK had 6 each, Chatfield and Aho each had 4. Jost, Slavin and Roslovic were the only players that didn’t register a hit. They’re also averaging 30 hits over the last 4 games, more than any 4 game stretch all season. Their 14 hits in the first period were more than 13 full games this season.

IMO it was building throughout the second period. NJ played a really good first period, but they lost control of the flow of possession and chances over the course of the second. By the time Orlov finally put one past Allen it seemed absolutely inevitable. From there all hell broke loose, but honestly, I think that's more on Meier's punk crap than anything else. His attempt to murder Necas in the middle of the ice didn't go as planned and it completely backfired as an effort to fire his team up ... assuming that's even what it was. Instead, the Devils did a lot of childish running around while Carolina scored goals. Congrats, dumbass. Their post game pantomime of trying to blame Necas for jaking was equally childish. That's what you get when you hire yet another buffoon of a coach. I'm not even getting into Huala. The less said about that idiot the better.
