Hurricanes at Panthers - Live Game Thread
Carolina Hurricanes at Florida Panthers, Dec 18, 2009 7:30 PM EST
8-19-6 (22 Points) 14-14-7 (35 Points)
WELCOME TO THIS EVENING'S OPEN THREAD
Canes Country * Hurricanes @ Panthers GameDay Central * TSN Preview
TONIGHT'S TENDERS
Tough keeping score these days with all the freak injuries and their associated callups from Rochester, but we'll try to clear it up: Dmitry Kulikov (neck), Gregory Campbell (upper body) appear to be a go. Bryan Allen (precautionary; will sit tonight) is covered by Jason Garrison. Kamil Kreps is out after involuntarily melding with the bench door on Wednesday.
Carolina's not in much better shape: reportedly they are still without Tim Gleason, Chad LaRose, Niclas Wallin, Erik Cole, Mike Ryan, and Joe Corvo.
But that Staal kid is in. Always welcome news in these here parts.
The clubs each have a home victory after completing the first two games of the season series, with the Cats winning 3-0 on November 4th.
All the usual excellence on everything Carolina is up at Canes Country, and I do recommend a visit. Thanks for coming out. Go Cats.
Oh, and talk about mixed emotions:

And that was the only one I could type verbatim. Poor guy; he’ll get there.

By that logic The Beezer is on personal leave.

I’m thinking the Canes are terribly regretful about not re-signing Seidenberg. Wanted to go on the cheap, you get the cheap.

That looked a lot worse than it turned out; Cats are on it

Have to wonder: was Sean Burke the equal of Cam Ward, minus a decent team in front of him?

Olesz with 2 points, Horton 4 shots

And it's 3-1
… In a good way.
by OldDave on Dec 18, 2009 8:56 PM EST via mobile reply actions 0 recs
No it not good unless they are up 4 or 5-1 we all know what happens with this team and 2 goal leads

Horts passed his career total in assists, according to Goldie

safe to assume Booth will NOT be on the first line when he returns in 2013?
Whole thing still sucks. Wanted so badly for him to make the US Olympic team.

OK- so my theory about me shopping
on game nights seems to be working out…I just can’t afford to keep this up all season.

That all went away when Laviolette was shown the door. Maurice doesn’t play that.

Thats more like it im shocked olesz forehand goal lol
by SNOOP97DAWG on Dec 18, 2009 9:39 PM EST via mobile reply actions 0 recs
I thought he only had the backhand shot.
by DarthDaddy98 on Dec 18, 2009 9:41 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Prediction -
6-4 Cats in regulation.

Already used “bold”…going with “cajones”
by Donny Rivette on Dec 18, 2009 9:43 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Is any club better prepared to kill the Cats even with a lead like this?
by Donny Rivette on Dec 18, 2009 9:45 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Look at how ridiculously nervous we are…10 minutes and a four goal lead. Who can blame us?
by Donny Rivette on Dec 18, 2009 9:46 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Our nervousness is obviously justified.

Pull Vokoun?
No fault of his own, but a shakeup might be in order
by Donny Rivette on Dec 18, 2009 9:48 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
A good old fashioned ass-chewing py PDB might accomplish the same task.

It’s nice all those folks have cash burning holes in their pockets and bank accounts that they can show up at a Toyota dealer, dive into a Camry, and call it a day.
Not quite there, myself.

In honor of Bon Jove, guess I’ve been Livin’ in Sin too long
by Donny Rivette on Dec 18, 2009 9:52 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I’d be happy if I could afford a used Camry…

Kulikov out with a lower body injury
by Donny Rivette on Dec 18, 2009 10:01 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
If you think about it 6-3 is the same as 4-1, 4-1 just sounds much more impressive.

Finally -
A late game penalty NOT on us…
by DarthDaddy98 on Dec 18, 2009 10:03 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
WOOHOO!!!
I was close with my prediction…

Over .500! Just keep it rolling on the road.

I have never been so nervous with 6 in the net

I think they need to call up McIntyre for Philly on Monday. Dispense some real justice to the Flyers – its the Law of the West.
