Game Thread? ..... @ Toronto 3/2/2010

[nccanes]

I hope CL is feeling well enough to start these game threads soon, but I know she's recovering/busy today so here we go. Do we remember how to do this?

So, the Canes head to TO today from Raleigh and Vancouver.

What we know and don't know:

The game is on TV and starts at 7pm.

Only Justin Peters has been called up. Since Peters has played in real games during the Oly break, does he get the start in TO or Legace?

In the final pre-Oly game, Boychuk and Goertzen were in the lineup, but since they are not called up (as of now) - who is returning?

Will Staal and Gleason play?

Do we remember that Matt Cullen doesn't play for the Canes anymore?:(

Will there be a trade prior to the face off at the ACC?

[superdave]

Hey, hey, what d' ya say. It's a game day thread.

[KaniacFever]

Too many questions and not enough answers. :lol:

We will get our first look at Picard. Which adds to another question, which defensemen sits?

The one that's traded by game time.

[Captain Slack]

Rumors are abound that either A. Ward, Corvo, or Alberts will be on the move before the team comes home. I don't think it needs to be said which player the fanbase would prefer to be dealt.

[c-girl]

Chip just tweeted that Erik Cole will play tomorrow.

ETA: NHL_Canes just tweeted that Walker and Larose will also play.

[caveman]

Do we remember that Matt Cullen doesn't play for the Canes anymore?:(

Holy crap. Don't remind me.

Anyway. We're 9 points out with 2 games in hand.

We're on a 5 game win streak!? We've won 9 of 11!? And 10 of 13!?

Yeah, welcome back, boys!

Chip tweeted that Joni flew to Raleigh and is flying up to Toronto with the team. Not sure why... maybe he wanted to apologize to Joni for thinking Olli was him. :D

[SoCalcaniac]

You mean he wanted to apologize to Jussi for thinking he was Olli. I don't imagine he'd apologize to himself eh?

I saw that Tweet from Chip and I'm wondering why Joni would come back to Raleigh?

[DeWaltGirl]

Dude, it's Joni, is there really an explanation for what he does? :lol:

You got the wrong game, Cullen plays for the Sens. This is the MakeBeliefs game.

[nccanes]

I know. I just meant that he got traded so close to the Olympic break that it's hard to remember he won't be in the lineup.

Didn't mean to suggest that he was a Leaf. :lol:

Good grief. I do that so much! Dang J names. :D

Chip just tweeted that Erik Cole will play tomorrow.

ETA: NHL_Canes just tweeted that Walker and Larose will also play.

Cole practiced in a white jersey yesterday and went full-force by what I saw. LaRose, walker, and Brindy were in gray jerseys which I thought had something to do with injuries (better than yellow though!). I think they may have been the only ones in gray.

I am still hoping that A Ward goes nowhere. This weekend he jumped on the ice and played "against" the mini-mites on Saturday and then gave a bunch of them a tour of the rec zone locker room on Sunday. My son was so excited to play against a Cane. I know he has not been particularly successful on our ice but I'll love him forever :)

[livinthedream]

Sometimes Coach Mo pulls out the gray jerseys for line combos or special drills, although I've seen guys wear them as no-touch as well.

All the forwards practiced in either red or white jerseys today. Cole was mostly with Brindy and with Scott Walker, but they only had five dress in white (Chad and Yelle were the other two) so they were double-shifting on some of the drills. All the other forwards were in red, really not possible to gauge any line combos though without Staal or Tuomo there.

Justin Peters did make it into town and was at the practice as well today.

And Alex Picard does look a little like David Tanabe as people previously reported, at least his facial features do. I was never around Tanabe enough to be able to tell if his skating style or defensive style compares. I posted a couple of pictures of him out on flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/jbk-ltd/sets/72157623410552257/) if anyone wants to see him in the sightless eye before Thursday.

he didn't skate much (Tanabe) just stared at the lights and posed. Hopefully Picard won't be that kind of player.

Tanabe played defense?

Well don't go crazy, now! Even Kovalchuk has a defensive "style": "Who, me, backcheck?"

[msgtcody]

Chip says Justin Peters in net tonight against Toronto. :thumbsup:

[SoCalcaniac]

Yeah Pete Dawg. He's an Ontario boy, good choice.

I never get tired of the whole Binder Crew in Toronto and just cracked up seeing the Canes tweet a picture of Manny signing autographs (http://twitpic.com/167yuz)on his walk over to Air Canada Centre.

If you've never gone to TO to watch a game or do a roadie, it's a must just for this factor. NHL Teams typically stay at the Westin Harbour Castle and the ACC is right across the street. They never bus over because there's no need. So on any given day- when we were up there, we were there for 5days/4 nights, we stayed at the Westin, and buzzing around that hotel were the binder dudes. (i.e. guys who waited around for a player to sign his hockey cards, and the did it ALL DAY long) waiting for their chance to get to a player. Any would do, but the year we went up, it was #92 and #10. #92's rep was "he's grumpy" and #10 was "elusive". :lol: What was funny was we were there with friends, we alternated wearing some type of Canes gear (hub had a long sleeve polo, a hat, and I had a couple of Canes related items that I switched up during our stay). We "befriended" a few of these dudes who thought we "were with the team" :laugh: and wanted to know if we knew what floor they were staying on. I told one guy, even if I knew, I'm not telling YOU. At points some of these guys were truly harmless--- Others, totally creepy/scary/stalkerish.

[KaniacFever]

For those that can't hack twitter at work, LaRose has been activated from IR.

[nccanes]

Did we get official word on the D situation for tonight's game?

I was looking at the Gleason blog entry at N/O and in the comments someone posted that AWard was the scratch. True?

Although I guess I'm wondering why I care, lol.

Everyone will be rusty tonight (save Gleason who will be tired). I'm not expecting a masterpiece tonight, with or without Ward.

:lol: Teehee.

I listened to the media scrum with The Coach, and he just implied that he'd have a D to scratch (and a forward) but didn't name a name.

Maybe this means he gets traded before the anthems eh? ;)

[livinthedream]

Last word I heard (I think from Maurice's post skate interview) was that the final lineups and scratches won't be determined until just before warmups.

Unless something changes between now and 6:30 pm they have 13 forwards and 7 defensemen.

[superdave]

I listened to the media scrum with The Coach, and he just implied that he'd have a D to scratch (and a forward) but didn't name a name.

Maybe if he'd get some lotion or something it would help with that scratch.

Seriously, Canes hockey tonight.....Woooooooooooooo.

[nccanes]

Yeah - it's so strange to think about NHL hockey again.

I took gumbo out of the freezer to have for dinner along with the game. Woohoo.

[SoCalcaniac]

Listening to Forslund on 99.9 Yelle and AWard are OUT. JohnnyF is speculating that someone has interest and he's being held out.

Hmmmmm....

[livinthedream]

He also said that Staaly showed up at the hotel with two bodyguards. LMAO! :lol:

[SoCalcaniac]

I think Chip wrote that in his blog this morning, and I howled at the visual; then hearing JF say the same thing, and how he said to #12 "is this going to be a regular thing now as a gold medalist?" THAT made me crack up. So not Eric Staal, but I'm guessing because he has doing so much media in Canada, they wanted to take precautions?:lol: (remember when someone stole Crosby's jersey/gold medal in juniors and they found it in someone's mailbox?)

[KaniacFever]

Chip is killing me

Aaron Ward not on ice for pregame

Stephane Yelle not on ice for pregame

Yeah, Chip they called scratches :lol:

[livinthedream]

Well obviously he doesn't follow LGC on twitter.

[SouthernHockeyChick]

Yeah, if I have to pick my phone up one more time just to go "No sh*t, catch up there Chip!" I'm gonna scream.

Tanabe played defense?

That was the problem.

[KaniacFever]

It's even funnier because he's IN Toronto. You'd think he would have had the scratches already :lol:

[FinFan]

Oooh, I like these D matches. Corvo/Pitkanen, Gleason/Picard, Carson/Alberts. Staal line normal. Sutter has Chad and Tuomo. Dwyer with Samsonov and Cole. I cannot wait. I'm so ready for real hockey to start again!

[kermelbar]

OMG, that bodyguard business makes me sooooo glad to be a Canes/Team USA fan in Raleigh where I can run into Brindy at the movies, Ruu at the gym, help Staaly find toothpicks at Target and even see Recchi in line buying Stanley Cup stuff at the Eye like it's no big deal.

[livinthedream]

I like it when Ruuts and Rosie play together.

[FinFan]

Freaking awesome! They just showed the Gold and Silver side by side. Too bad they didn't have the Bronze in there.

And ever so humble. I LOVE TIMMY!

[SouthernHockeyChick]

I'm not sure how we manage to get back a bunch of injured players....and have me look at the roster afterwards and say "we look worse now than we did before the break!":lol:


Oh, and one last time before I have to let it go.....f*ck you Staalsy!!


:evil:

[FinFan]

Okay, besides the Canadian pronunciations, he did a great job singing the national anthem. And didn't play with it OR Oh, Canada.

[KaniacFever]

Forslund says Staalsy got a round of applause when announced he was starting. Guess Eklund will have him traded to Toronto by the end of the night :laugh:

[FinFan]

Oops, Captain Picard just tried to have a good showing with a big, bad hit.

I swear, Tuomo and Chad had great shots on goal.

OMG! CHAD!!! That was awesome!

[livinthedream]

CHAD - LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[goalie33]

Woooooo, 1-0!

Boost that trade value!

[kermelbar]

Weclome back, Rosey! :smoke:

[KaniacFever]

Giguere is having lots of 'oops' moments. Hopefully that continues all game.

[SouthernHockeyChick]

OK, how come Gleason had to room with Kesler AND Miller and Staal gets to room with only Thornton? WTF? The GOALIE of all people gets stuck with extra roomies?!?

[kermelbar]

And why do I think of "The Parent Trap" when I think of Gleason and Miller rooming together? :lol: (Although Timmay was not here for '06, but it seems all of our players get in line with feeling toward the Slugs with little trouble.)

[livinthedream]

LMAO at the visual of Staaly reclining in first class while Timmy had to head to the back of the plane!

[SouthernHockeyChick]

Is it just me or does Staal's medal almost look like it has a 'Canes logo on it?!? :lol:



Oh, and f*ck you Staalsy!

;)

[SoCalcaniac]

Is it just me or does Staal's medal almost look like it has a 'Canes logo on it?!? :lol:





OMG I thought the SAME thing that night of the GMG. :lol: Especially when they put the thing around his neck.

We look OK. Welcome back Rosey.

[livinthedream]

JUSSSSSSSSSSSIIIIIIIIIII

SO SEXY

[SouthernHockeyChick]

JUSSI!!! You deserved a medal, man!!

[FinFan]

Jussi to Eric to Ray back to the Juice! GOAL!

Man, I really like this Brandon/Tuomo/Chad line.

[Scottysfistofdeath]

^Sutter and Ruutu are a great pair IMO, i think whoever you stick with them has to step up to their level and with Chad back healthier his going to be more and more like the Rosey we're used to

[FinFan]

RUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[livinthedream]

:D

Pretty goal by Tuomo, but that was a SWEEEEEEET pass from Joni to set it up.


^Sutter and Ruutu are a great pair IMO, i think whoever you stick with them has to step up to their level and with Chad back healthier his going to be more and more like the Rosey we're used to

Ruuts and Rosie have always worked well together too. Full of hustle.

[KaniacFever]

The boo birds during this whole shift is cracking me up :laugh:

[kermelbar]

^ You mean they're alive? Because they have been deader'n a doornail for most of this game.

[canefan2k1]

What a shift!

[FinFan]

That was an awesome shift. Joe really wants a goal, though. :lol: He and Joni were keeping the puck in really well.

[KaniacFever]

^ You mean they're alive? Because they have been deader'n a doornail for most of this game.

Yep, for that full 2 minute shift it was all out boos. But now its dead again.

[msgtcody]

Alright heres the deal after seeing Toronto play tonight. Boston has two 1st round picks (Torontos and theirs) which I discussed with @puckdrops earlier. Boston wants a d-man and a sniper/puck handler. We trade Ray Whitney and Joe Corvo or Aaron Ward or Andrew Alberts if they get the job done to Boston for Torontos 1st round pick which is a surefire top 5. We want a 1st + a prospect right so surely just a high first is good enough for us. That'd leave us with two 1st round picks in at least the top 10 of the draft. Ofcourse this would work out if it was the perfect world, hard to say if Boston will part with that pick or if Ray will go to Boston but if that deal could be worked thats the way to go. Depending on what goes down with other trades we have the prospects to cover those positions the rest of the year and improve our own pick a little ;).

[SoCalcaniac]

The boo birds during this whole shift is cracking me up :laugh:


OMG. They weren't even moving, #12 comes out to "change" and hub was dying to know how long exactly that sequence was- he rewound the TiVo, it was 2:30. :laugh::crazy:

They were barely booing there. We'd be killing the Canes if that happened in our barn.

LaRose/Sutter/Ruu = Outstanding

Thursday night is going to be fun in our building. Unlike the hoity toity ACC which sounds like a morgue. I could hear Sutter screaming when Ruuty scored, and you can always hear #12's big mouth, but good gosh. DEAD.

[KaniacFever]

Ron Wilson must be hating this. Going to coaching a bunch of superstars to this junk that is in blue.

[SouthernHockeyChick]

And Giguere is now pooping pucks. He's pretty much been pooping all night, as has that team in front of him.

[SouthernHockeyChick]

Wow. LOVE the "Out Game Out Gold" headline over top of the devastated Miller pic. Class-y.

[FinFan]

JF just mentioned some movement involving Toronto. (Trade w/Pit. Means Ray's not going anywhere.)

I thought the picture of jubulant Sid right over dejected Miller was really nice, too. They may say sorry a lot, but when do they actually mean it?

[Greensboro Hurricanes]

Darn it. Stupid garbage time goal.

[WillLikeWhoa091]

Feel terrible that Peters just lost his shutout. Poor guy was workin hard.

[livinthedream]

Yeah, Tripp jinxed Pete-Dawg when he called him "undented".

And Forslund announced Ponikarovsky (sp?) to Pittsburgh.

[FinFan]

I figured it was Chuck who'd jinxed Pete-Dawg. :lol: Justin played AWESOME! As did everyone. Way to go Canes!

[SoCalcaniac]

Yeah crappy headline "our game our goal" whatever dudes.

VERY COOL that Grant LaRose was in the ACC! Love that.

I thought the way Tripp threw Ryan Miller under the bus "on a play he should have had against Crosby" and the ol, "he was too deep in net" was the jinx on Pete Dawg. OK Tripp. I'm sure Chuck said some crazy sh** in the winding minutes. He can't help himself.

[livinthedream]

But as someone who played the position... Tripp had empathy for Ryan Miller.

[KaniacFever]

Can we ever get our goalies a shut out this year, jeez.

Pete Dawg is really making a case for himself to be Cam's back up next year. Dude has looked very impressive in his 3 starts.

[ontheglass]

Great way to start the week, picking up where they left off (I know it is Toronto, but a W is a W). I am very happy to see the wins and having them being competitve and maybe our excitement will come from being spoilers when given the chance. Great win after the break. Peters has been soooooo close to the SO (twice now). And the 'Cuse rolled SJ.

[SouthernHockeyChick]

Um, why no Hurricanes Live? They're in my program guide until 10pm. :crazy:

[ncsu1]

[livinthedream]

Um, why no Hurricanes Live? They're in my program guide until 10pm. :crazy:

They broadcast a post-game, but it's over already. Started around 9:25, ended just a couple of minutes ago. Forslund's already on with Maniscalco. They must be heading out quickly tonight.

[SouthernHockeyChick]

They broadcast a post-game, but it's over already. Started around 9:25, ended just a couple of minutes ago.

I just meant why not go until 10? It was over at 9:36, by our clock. 10 minutes is significantly shorter than usual.

[SoCalcaniac]

Yes, the former goalie had sympathy. :lol:

I think the players just went out and played for each other. Whatever happens by 3PM EST, that's a whole other story, but they decided they'll go out swinging. It's just great to see they've not done what Toronto did, and laid down.

Was really happy to see our Olympians not all hung over. The Hawks looked stinky versus NYI when I flipped over, OMG it was clear there was a let down for Kane, Toews, Keith, et al. They looked uninspired.

[KaniacFever]

I just meant why not go until 10? It was over at 9:36, by our clock. 10 minutes is significantly shorter than usual.

There's snow in Raleigh, they have to hurry up and get to the airport before they are stuck in leaf land :lol:

[livinthedream]

I just meant why not go until 10? It was over at 9:36, by our clock. 10 minutes is significantly shorter than usual.

Forslund is already off the air with Maniscalco. They must be high-tailing it out of Dodge.

[SoCalcaniac]

Yeah, they must have had to get going.

They already have a game write up on the National Post- a couple funny snippets:


All any observer needed to know about the game came at the end of the second period out of what had to be a maddening stretch of play for Wilson.

For at least a full 90 seconds at even strength, the Hurricanes controlled the puck as if they had a man advantage.

All five Maple Leafs on the ice collapsed into the middle of their own zone, leaving Carolina's fivesome to whip passes around at will creating chance after chance with Toronto barely even threatening to clear the puck.



Had the disgruntled crowd of 19,096 at the Air Canada Centre had its way, just about every Maple Leaf could have been sent packing without complaint.


:lol:

The only real cheer of the night for Toronto's fans came when Carolina captain and Team Canada gold medallist Eric Staal had his name announced as part of a salute to all the Olympians in the building

. (http://tcr40.tynt.com/ads/13/0h4x1ueun)

[ButtersSaysNo]

There may have been 19,096 tickets sold, but no way there were 19,096 in attendance. One of the first comments I made to SC06 while watching the game was look at all the great seats that are empty.

I thought it was funny as hell, when the arena announcer said, "1 minute remaining" and you could hear a loud cheer as to say, "Thank goodness this crap is almost over."

[nccanes]

Now this headline has me rolling.

If it had appeared in any other market's paper, I'd say that I guess it doesn't matter how well the Canes are playing, they will be labeled "lowly" due to their place in the standings, but to see this headline in TORONTO??? The ONE PLACE that is LOWER in the standing then the "lowly" Canes?? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Leafs sunk by lowly Hurricanes in return to ice (http://www.thestar.com/sports/hockey/article/774149--leafs-sunk-by-lowly-hurricanes-in-return-to-ice)

We may be lowly, but not one team would want to play us in a 7 game series right now with the way we are playing. Well, the Sharks or Hawks would likely not be concerned about a 7 game series, but most teams would not want to play us.

[SoCalcaniac]

That's par for the course in TO- they were there, but they were down in the "Platinum Club" where all the suits hang out and eat Sushi. On a "good game" they might take at least half a period to come out from underneath the Platinum area and away from the sushi and finger foods they supply down there. It's PITIFUL.

Who else notice how many people in Leafs jerseys all of a sudden appeared down stairs in the end zones? You never see anybody wearing Leafs gear in the LL. They're upstairs. :lol:

LOWLY CANES? Some kinda crazy those clowns calling us LOWLY.

[aldamon]

I thought the way Tripp threw Ryan Miller under the bus "on a play he should have had against Crosby" and the ol, "he was too deep in net" was the jinx on Pete Dawg.

I loved that. Pile on the Slug. Worth losing the shutout to twist the knife.

[livinthedream]

Great game, even though it was only against the lowly Maple Leafs. WIth all the distractions around the trade deadline and the two-week break, we could have come out flat but we played with effort and heart. I was looking forward to the Sutter/Rosie/Ruuty line and they did not disappoint me. Pete Dawg showed poise in the net. I really like him. Good to see the Finn magic still working. I noticed Alex Picard in not a good way at the beginning of the game but didn’t notice him later in the game which I assume to be a good thing.

At this stage of the season all I want them to do is show up and care about the game, and they did that admirably and then some.

Ray looked "fidgety" on the bench toward the end of the game. Can't help but wonder what's going through his head.

Now we’ll see what today brings.

the mo-meter for wins after olympic break looks a lot like Mo's goal is to leave us stranded in no man's land:lol:

[caveman]

Wow. Last game highlights of quite a few folks in Canes jerseys up there. Thanks as always, GH.

Corvo pushing people away from Peters. Walker dancing behind the net.

How freaking good has Ray-Staal-Jokinen been?

edit: and with Toronto's trades this game probably set some kind of record for "last games before being traded" in a single game.

And how many 3rd period shutout-busters are gonna happen vs. Peters.

[caveman]

http://jonathanhawkins.net/temp/mometer2010.jpg

That is... awesomeful.

[Greensboro Hurricanes]

Sorry, wrong thread!

^^ No man's land, here we come!
