to get 6 points on this homestand was great, especially with some top guys missing. gonna be a fun season
We didn't play very well and beat a team that we should beat. I really like this team, but they could use an upgrade at goalie. Petr is average at best, and he's not going to carry the team in a playoff series. Maybe he doesn't need to, but that's the obvious weak point.
It's really encouraging to see guys like Nino and Trocheck playing so well to start the year, and with Necas it makes for a really quick line. I have to think we're contenders.

I agree with all of this. I'm not sure which teams would be willing to deal a goalie this early in the season though. I was looking at Korpisalo and Merzlikens in Columbus last night and I would be happy to have either of those guys. Columbus would be wise to start thinking about selling one of those guys right now while their stock is still somewhat high. The BJ's season seems like it's about to implode, Laine is not the answer to their problems.
Bizarre offsides call gifts the Canes 2 points today. Never seen anything like that before.
The one upheld after video review?
Yeah. Officials and NHL confirmed Carolina was offsides for their 3rd goal near the end of the second period. At intermission, they acknowledge the on ice call is wrong and negate the remaining PK time for Columbus, but leave the goal on the board.
Just weird all around. Not saying the Canes didn't deserve a W. They played a great game, but that call swung the game.
Yeah, he certainly looked offside on replay.
Refs certainly went out of their way to make up for that call last night.
Torts did everything he could to give the Canes a win. Laine sat for almost two periods in a close game and he also benched a top 4 D-man as well. The Jackets probably didn't deserve to win that one last night. Amazing goal by Jack Roslovich to win the game.
This Canes team will go far once they get healthy.
