GIT 'ER DUN!!! Canes vs Isles

Caniac4ever · 03-20-2009, 11:27 AM

Since it appears that we don't have a line up of others waiting to start this, here goes... A game that shouldn't ever be in question for the Canes. The all important key is come out strong and get the lead. If we let them get into the game, it'l make our job many times harder... Failboat must needs stay on vacation.

5th.............Divisional Standings...........2nd

Islanders are playing spoiler now. They are something like 6-2-2 in their last 10. Young kids savoring playing in the NHL and having tons of fun. Those are the hardest teams to face especially when you are the ones fighting for your lives.

Islanders haven't played since Sunday, so for them, it might take the first 20 to get their legs. In that case, that's the time to pounce and get them out before they even get in.

If we carry over the play from Jersey we'll be fine, if not, see Atlanta (2/28).

I've heard that Failboat is steaming full speed ahead and should be back at around 7PM tonight.

It's ok! ECUguy and his army buddies are on course to intercept!

They desperately need Tavares and are doing everything they can to mess that up. Let's hope Carolina does them a favor and right's this terrible wrong for them.

DaveG · 03-20-2009, 01:54 PM

The Isles are as dangerous a non-playoff team as you can get right now. Not a lot of veteran players and they're statistically eliminated from the playoffs, so they have a bunch of kids playing to make an impression for next season. That said, we're at home, fighting for the post-season, a loss in this game giving that fanbase of master vintners down south optimism is flat out inexcusable.

Anyone out there with a siphon hose or a pound of sugar to stop the Failboat?

imayagainknowanson · 03-20-2009, 04:01 PM

The ANTON will win this game for us.

Blueline Bomber · 03-20-2009, 04:29 PM

There's far too much hope in this topic.

What the Faulk · 03-20-2009, 06:08 PM

NYI goes with a goalie who's made two career starts: Peter Mannino. I guess that's a good thing since they've gotten the job done against backups recently.

LOL well that answers that.

ColeMPV · 03-20-2009, 06:10 PM

LOL Mannino

Clark Gillies · 03-20-2009, 06:11 PM

Welcome to the NHL - Mr Mannino

WOOOOOOOOO!

dmonk · 03-20-2009, 06:12 PM

and now Mannino will go and deny 50+ shots to lead Islanders to eventual victory.

ColeMPV · 03-20-2009, 06:15 PM

Man the ice seems really bad

CioCio · 03-20-2009, 06:15 PM

I've been paying more attention to Gleason lately since you guys have mentioned him not playing as well and I hadn't really noticed it before. From what I've seen, he's been clumsier with the puck. Is that what you guys are talking about?

Indeed. When it skips like a pebble while coasting only slowly into the corner, you can bet we'll see some jumped passes

CioCio · 03-20-2009, 06:28 PM

Why the hell is Tripp asking a question like that??

"Do you splash bottles of water on your face to get ready for the game?"

dmonk · 03-20-2009, 06:30 PM

Do Canes try to save some energy for tomorrow?

kpap57 · 03-20-2009, 06:33 PM

hey does anyone have a live feed for the game

Earlier this game I think he skated his stick right over a puck. EDIT: Well now Babchuk just did it. Maybe it's the ice.

Man, Helminen in prime position ends up taking the shot from the worst angle possible. Then allows a close chance coming the other way.

Islanders not allowing second chances and are managing to set up in our zone. They came to play tonight.

dmonk · 03-20-2009, 06:39 PM

Canes look bad, very bad. We had a lucky break scoring that goal early.

Isles are all over us.
