They'll have a solid regular season record then go out early in the playoffs again. They're too soft for playoff hockey and still are.
something that isn’t talked about nearly enough is the fact that Chatfield and Walker were both out for the series against Florida. That was 2 of the hurricanes 6 starting defensemen and 2 of their 3 righties. That forced them to play morrow, who was terrible and forced orlov to play more minutes and on his off side, a role in which he got completely exposed. If the hurricanes have both Chatfield and Walker they push Florida to at least 6 probably 7.
Too bad they’ll fall short like always. Mikko could have got them there
They shouldn’t. That team doesn’t have the size or grit to win a cup.
2C spot still feels empty
Carolina should have traded KK rather than Drury – Drury would have been an amazing 2C last season. I am sure kk would have burnt the road up for that opportunity to play with Mack and Makar.
Kontkaniemi needs to be traded. His numbers are awful fir a 2C, and the cap hit they're paying him. And goaltending is the 'Canes achilles heel, which they have neglected. In order to get to the Stanley Cup Finals, they need an elite goaltender
Wail till Miller starts tuning it over on a regular basis and keeps getting caught out of position. He's no Brady Skjei. One ex-Ranger too many.
yes
Yes thank you now we’re gonna do something 🙏
I think you are spot on with the needs of this team if they want to get to the final The Stanley Cup playoffs. Have to get past Florida.
If Jesperi can push his game to be a 45-50 pts guy, like we've seen flashes of before, back with the Habs even, he could remain there as an excellent 2 way centre à la Plekanec, that's what we thought he would become, I think that if he continues to play in a solid team like Carolina, he might just peak later than outright fade out like Jesse Pulljajarvi (sic). Another guy I'm familiar with, very much so, Primeau, looks like he took it personally when he had his disastrous start of the season and his losses had the Habs in the bottom 4 of the league for a little while, but that season in the AHL? Not sure I've seen such a convincing "hey, I'm ready for the NHL, maybe elsewhere…" and proved himself by having the kind of stats that make one unfamiliar with him be like "hm, why is he in the AHL? he's clearly too good for minors. So I think he could work fine elsewhere, it's a case of needing a new scenery and proving his worth before it is too late, and as you say often THG, a lot of goalies blossom into their full potential later than other players. Not many can come right in at 19 years old and get a starter or 1A position, like a certain guy who's going to get his last pay from an NHL team this year while being on the LTIR since 22-23, but is guaranteed to have his number retired (Price) by the same team that couldn't get it going with Primeau except for 2 seasons ago where he was fine as Monty's backup. I expect Kayden to be very competitive again in the AHL, isn't Carolina's AHL team the Checkers? the guys that tossed out Laval? and for him to be called up, and I'll be happy for the guy if it works out.
Watch Carolina trade for Mcdavid at the deadline and he doesn't want to sign there
2C and G are not strong enough to get past Florida, period. Good enough for the Metro but they won't get through ECF
Rangers developmentally is the worst thing for young players. Key has declined and it is obvious. He will haunt the rags for years to come. He is in good hands now.
Canes done fine, but if I was a betting man, I would bet on Cats taking 3rd straight.
I have been waiting for sooooo long.
I would like to see Carolina break through past the conference finals especially for Brind’amour
What I love most is that Tulsky, Brind'Amour and Dundon are shattering the idea of a 'cup window' with this team.
Best win percentage in the league over the last 6 years. Playoffs 7 years in a row. Serious cup contender for 5 years. Most teams would be cap-strapped and aging after a run like that, but the 'Canes are set up to maintain success for a decade to come, with youth and cap space to burn.
Can’t be splitting up staal and martinook. That line combo is in stone
TOP 3. I'd put Canes in top 3 (along with VGK, FLA) most likely to win a cup in 25/26, especially with adds Ehlers and Miller.
God I hate that era of hurricanes jerseys they are so bad 😂
Looking at their competition in the Metro, I'd say this roster is good enough to place top 3 as is. Add to that the fact that they have $10+ mil in cap space that they can sit on all season waiting for the right deal, and their situation is looking pretty comfortable.
LETS GOOOO been waiting for dis
If Reaver can ruin Jeannots career, then Svechnikovs rookie season fight against Ovi certainly had a effect on him
They have only won one game in the conference finals since winning the Stanley cup. I have to wonder how long they can stay competitive before crashing out because getting so close to the edge but still losing out is probably getting to the GM of the Hurricanes and I feel they are desperate for the win.
Hey Shannon. Just letting you know if you didn't, but Rod has said over the summer that he is heavily considering moving Stankoven or Jarvis to 2C.
My outside opinion is they didn't need to do anything to remain a top team in the Metro . Which of their divisional rivals has made giant steps to challenge them
Duuuude, 20 years since they won it in '06. I remember seeing it on NBC when it happened. And now my elbows hurt more.
If you look at the line up for March 2024 you will see that there is only 8 remaining players from only 16 months ago. Many of the players that are no longer there were long time core players. The Canes have quietly rebuilt their team without missing a step.
Everyone can't stop talking about the 2C spot…. can you make a video ranking all the 2Cs?
I honestly think Ryan Suzuki should have one of those center spots. He lead the Wolves in points and was a great playmaker that lead to many of Nedeau and Morrow goals. He is also good in shootouts, something the Canes need help in. Just like you have been a fan of Stankhoven for years, I have been a big Suzuki fan.
In my opinion he should have been center over Jack Drury for the last two years. Ryan Suzuki could be your 2C!
Also you never split Martinook and Staal!!! Never! In my opinion that should be your 4th line as it is a checking line. Probably the best in the league but still a checking line. Drop KK to 3C with Hall and Blake
Martinook Staal Robinson as 4th line. As it stands now the Canes have 2- 4th lines. 4A and 4B
Hellebuyck would have been an amazing Cane. Shaky on the road & exceptional at home, come April
I'm like you THG. As a Canes fan I'm worried their weakness is in the 2nd line at center. That needs to be addressed big time.
Still my pick to win the Cup next year – Florida damaged the Cup, and as we saw with Colorado, the hockey Gods punish such transgression, which should leave the door open for the 'Canes.
I think we'll have a great season, we've repalced the oldest/slowest parts of our team (Burns/Orlov) with younger and faster players. We've made some big trades and getting a full season of Nikishin will be great. (Hes technically unproven but he was awesome in the playoffs, and hes got a crazy shot).
As for our goaltending, Kochetkovs issues are all mental. He has all the tools needed to be amazing but he needs to stay out of his head, which is why Freddie is a perfect mentor for him.
If yall remember Kochetkov had a pretty good run up until an LA Kings game where he got lit up for 7, and that messed him up mentallly. I believe in him though.
Ehlers will be great to see, Blake is gonna have an even better season, I think Svech is bouncing back from his ACL so we'll see an uptick there, and im expecting Jarvis to put up 40+ goals.
LETS GO CANES!
soft teams just dont win cups..every year the Hurricanes are at the bottom of the league in hits and then their fans wonder why they never make the Finals..till they get much more physical in the playoffs?? forget it
Either gonna be a dynastic flop that never wins or they win multiple the next 8yrs. Im leaning flop tho
I really hope Pyotr Kochetkov has a good season this year and he keeps improving. I love watching him in net.
I believe we are two half-pieces away from making the Finals, and from there it's a crapshoot. We need to answer that 2nd Line Center question, and we need either a healthy Andersen, a next-step-taken Kochetkov, or some sort of answer in the crease. I think Andersen COULD be that guy, and I think Kotkaniemi has the potential to figure things out, hence two half-pieces away.
Nope.
Friendly reminder that Carolina was playing in the conference finals with 4 players who, prior to this season, hadn’t played in a full NHL season (Nikishin, Stankoven, Blake, Morrow). Things could be looking very bright for years to come in Raleigh.
I really believe that the Canes will roll with what they have, then go all-in at the TDL on a high-skill veteran with little or no term remaining on their contract. Somebody like Ryan O'Reilly would fit this bill and still leave money for other TDL acquisitions.
