LET'S GO CANES!!!

[Eastcoastcane]

Skinner out with concussion symptoms, Pitkanen may be back, Gleson is still day-to-day, Wallace is still out, and now I hear Ryan Murphy is going to be called up for an injured Jamie McBain...well this is the Jets game to lose

(6-8-1)

 

(8-5-1)

 

 

TV: TSN-JETS, FS-Carolinas 7pm EST

 

Last 10: Winnipeg 3-7-0; Carolina 6-3-1

 

Season series: Thursday marks the first of four meetings. The Jets won four of six
against the Hurricanes last season, finishing two points ahead in the
Eastern Conference standings.

 

Big story: The Southeast Division-leading Hurricanes have had two days of rest
following a 3-0 loss to the Montreal Canadiens, but previously won three
straight despite several injuries. The Jets snapped a three-game skid
Tuesday at Buffalo and hope to build off that momentum.

 

 

 

 

Team Scope:

 

 

Jets: Winnipeg limped into Tuesday's clash with Buffalo after a winless
three-game homestand, but a stellar effort from goalie Ondrej Pavelec
lifted the Jets' spirits in a hurry. Pavelec had lost four straight
decisions, but stopped 29 of 30 shots to will Winnipeg to a 2-1 win. The
Sabres' loss prompted the team to dismiss coach Lindy Ruff on
Wednesday.

The Jets killed all three Sabres power-play chances, and Andrew Ladd
scored his fourth goal in as many games to pace the offense. Winnipeg's
complete performance was refreshing for a team that had struggled to
find positive energy.

"The first thing that it does when you win is it brings joy back in your
life, which we all welcome because it's been miserable enough for a
while," Winnipeg coach Claude Noel told NHL.com.

 

Hurricanes:  Monday's game against the Canadiens was scoreless entering the third
period, but it didn't take long for the tide to turn against the
Hurricanes. Brandon Prust opened the scoring at 2:06 and Montreal scored
twice more in the period to seal Carolina's fate.

The Hurricanes are tied with the Tampa Bay Lightning atop the Southeast
Division, but will be without Jeff Skinner again Thursday. Skinner, the
team's second-leading scorer, is out indefinitely with a concussion. But
despite the lineup being depleted, Carolina coach Kirk Muller isn't
making excuses.

"We're missing some key guys," Muller said. "In a tight game like
[Monday], Skinner is a game-breaker type of player. But you’re going to
have injuries, everyone's going to go through it, and you have to find a
way to win. It was an opportunity for other guys and we just didn't
capitalize or get the job done."

 

 

Who's hot:  Jets forward Evander Kane is riding a four-game point streak, with one
goal and three assists. … The Hurricanes' shutout loss to the Canadiens
snapped Eric Staal's 11-game point streak.

 

 

Injury report: Tobias Enstrom (shoulder), Antti Miettinen (upper body) and Al
Montoya (lower body) are on injured reserve for Winnipeg. ... In
addition to Skinner's absence, Tim Brent (lower body) and Tim Wallace
(undisclosed) are day-to-day for Carolina, according to the team's
website. Joni Pitkanen (lower body) and Tim Gleason (lower body) have
been out.

Looks like the Canes are down another defender with Sags limping off with a leg injury. 

[AUTiger7222]

GOAL EVANDER KANE! 2-1 JETS!

[AUTiger7222]

In the span of a little over a minute 3 goals are scored, 2 by the Jets and 1 by the Canes and the Jets lead it 4-3 with just over 2 minutes left in the 3rd.

I am the only one that bet on the Jets in the Bookie 2.0. LOL! :)

[Eastcoastcane]

Like I said this was the Jets game to lose....which they almost did, which gives me confidence if the canes can play them when they have their top -six forward and three top - four Defenseman back.


Anyone championing for Cam Ward to get the nod for Team Canada at the Olympics probably shouldn't watch this game. I have found myself questioning his mental toughness the past two years, and tonight that couldn't have been more evident by watching his facial expressions after goals.

I expect Ellis will get the Start against the Islanders, and we'll see from there.

Both goalies had terrible games giving up soft goals. I'm used to that with Pavelec. He is so maddening!

I hear ya man. Weird thing is they both killed off a 5 on 3 so it makes you wonder what the hell when the soft ones go by.
