Is there any vacancy on the ledge? I'm thinking I might get an early seat tonight.

Better hurry, by the time this game is over there may not be any room left. Shoot, maybe by the end of this period.

I see them playing hard - just not well, or smart.

No outlets for the carrier to get the puck to - way too many long passes, N-S and E-W, that get turned over - too many passes into danger in the dzone.

Hawks forwards are doing more fly-bus than the blue angels

DeBrinket thinks he can only pass to Kane, and every one has been intercepted.

Hawks forwards are playing like they are on spring break, just lollygagging around.

That makes them lollygaggers

Because no red-sweatered skater ahead of them can get open for a pass.

Like hell. Kane has the puck on his stick just outside his zone, with two options and he drifts into he zone and gets swarmed = turnover. I believe it was Janmark who did basically the same thing.

Better checking by the Canes tonight, gonna be a close one!

When Janmark isn't falling or shooting into a player ...

De Haan needed to shoot it.

Unbelievable he did not shoot that!

Last change is advantageous ...

Almost half way through the game and only 6 sog. Not going to win many games that way.

Dach has a LONG way to go before he is a top 6 center. Has not impressed one iota since coming back from injury.

Besides still trying to make the cute play, I can't say I'm disappointed. Canes are tough & preventing from setting up. A full skilled roster would make a world of difference for him.

Its his preseason

The wonders of shooting a puck & mad scrambles can have.

I think his path is as a winger, he is like Saad, has tunnel vision with the puck.

For the sake of weak center depth, I hope he develops into our future number 1 center.

Kubs off a Kalynuk pass.

Now Kubalik has Carpenter on the other wing, lucky him.

So because he's been out for months and comes in and doesn't set the world on fire now he's gotta be a winger?

Let's give him at least one more shift.

No, always thought of him as a winger, played better last year on the wing. Was going to play wing on the WJC team also..

Now Kubalik has Carpenter on the other wing, lucky him.
- Angotti

Explains the dip in goals. Still effective, nonetheless.

Look at the bright side, Kampf isn’t centering him.

Cheer up guys, Nashville is losing too.

Kampf is an asset, very good defensively, good on face offs, cap hit should be reasonable, just not slotted correctly.
