Alright, I know there are a ton of new threads but I figure we need to make an official thread for the first round. This way I don't have to look through 4 threads to discuss the same topic :D

Oh and just for the record, Canes in 7. Saskatoon is a fantastic team, but the only team who can beat the Hurricanes, imho, IS the Hurricanes. Problem is, they spent upwards of 30 games doing that exact thing this season...

One of the very few really positive things going for the Canes right now is how good our PP has been since Sbisa has been back. Pre Luca it was 15th at 17.9%. Since then it has been second best only to Calgary by a hair. Calg for the year was a ridiculous 30.2% and the Canes have been 29.7% the last 18 games. We finished 7th overall.

Lethbridge was the last team i wanted the Blades to play in the 1st round. We are 3-1 against them this season. It should be good. If we can play disciplined hockey we should win it.

HURRICANE'S ROCK

Just some info on the 4 regular season games we played with Saskatoon. All the games were very close and the games we lost were played with the Canes usual mixed up and incomplete line-ups. The 3-0 game was closer than it seemed. We had a very depleted line-up and our number 3 goalie played. We recieved 7 penalties in row, thats right 7 in a row, and S'toon scored 2 late goals during them to put the game away.
This is not meant to make excuses but just to take a good look at the season series. We were without some very key players in the games we lost and when we had a full line-up we beat the Blades in S'toon. Boychuk, who can make the difference in a game by himself with key goals, missed 2 games as did Bancks. Sbisa only played in the game we won.

Games and players missing:

Oct 26 Blades 3 Leth 2
Sbisa
Beach

Jan 01 Blades 3 Leth 0
Sbisa
Beach
Boychuk
Bancks
Metsola (Anderson in goal)
Canes got 7 penalties in a row in the 3rd period!!

Jan 17 Blades 3 Leth 2 O/T
Sbisa
Boychuk
Bancks

Mar 7th Leth 4 Blades 3
Full line-up

I am predicting a close hard fought series with the Canes prevailing in 6 or 7 games. I feel the Blades have played to there absolute maximum potential all year and do not have another gear. The Canes on the other hand have not got out of second gear all year long. If, and thats a big if, the Canes find another gear we will take this series.

I completely agree, that was garbage. The stick was parallel to the crossbar when it contacted the puck, not above it.

03-20-2009, 07:59 PM

What is the point of having video replay if they are going to clearly get it wrong.

I would understand if it were close but that was clearly a goal.

Typical WHL now we get the worst of both worlds, incorrect calls and long breaks to confirm that the WHL are idiots and still have the wrong call.

Rockets1231

03-20-2009, 08:33 PM

They must have the CFL replay officials doing it. Also what was with that kneeing call? The player jumps sideways to avoid the check, falls over and the Lethbridge player gets tagged even though he didnt even touch him...

Your right Bo, sorry. Im just really sick of the "i cant support this team because of...." comments. I just dont think that the players deserve that just because you disagree with management. I sure as hell disagree with most moves Roy has made (or didnt make).

And yes, the Canes are pretenders this year. This whole year is just a disaster. Dyck has had too much talent on this team all season for this to happen. BUT its too late now. So yes, I agree with you, but we are kind of stuck what with we have now. Thats my argument for still cheering for this train wreck anyhow.

No worries. I don't think I am a bad fan for cheering for the Canes for 13 friggin years. We all know there have been some really lean times.
Good for you for sticking it out. I hope you're rewarded at some point.
but,... it isn't out of the ordinary to cheer for a city that you don't live in. Hell, I've been following and cheering the Penguins for 25 years.

""We need it (the powerplay) to give us more and the guys on it to give us more, not only five-on-four, but five-on-five.”

No kidding. Our best players were not even close to being our best players last night. Tonight will tell the tale of this years Hurricanes. Win or lose, if the effort is not a lot better then, this seson is over and the underachievers can go to thier AHL teams and collect the paychecks they all seem anxious to get.

It must be hard to motivate yourself to sacrifice and do what you have to in the playoffs to win when you don't have a bonified goaltender. To overcome an MVP (Holtby) goaltender when you have an inexperienced youngster backing you up . . . must be a little demoralizing.
Cultivating goaltenders should be something that is part of management plans . . . I'm not sure we are doing a good job on that front. A specialist like Jeff Battah would have helped a lot in avoiding this mess . . . unfortunately, he obviously did not feel appreciated and went elsewhere.
Wonder why Jung didn't want to play for Lethbridge, or Leclerc?
While we are on the topic, I wonder how "appreciated" the players feel like? Is the atmosphere conducive to a "winning" team? Are they ready to sacrifice? Do they have the confidence? We know they have the talent!
If Metsola gets back and is able to play well we have a chance . . .if the players really want it. If not, you will see a very talented team go out, probably in 4.

I saw that he and Niemi were pushing each other and his hands got into Niemi's face.

No way did he crosscheck him in the teeth and it certainly wasn't a match penalty. It was a play that happens half a dozen times a game. The difference here is that Niemi is a ***** and dove to the ice.

Im as much a fan of Beach as everyone else on this site but I would have to say he didn't desearve a suspention for that, if anything Niemi dramatized that a little he may have got a glove in the face but they both had their hands up and its one of those thing that just happens and doesn't even marret a penalty. The problem here is that the WHL did just go by his track record and didn't even look at the vid. And as for Niemi he went by a bench and gave the finger the league cant let that stuff fly he had to recieve something.

I'm not trolling here, but whoever is in charge of player acquisition for you should be in hot water for not having a capable backup goalie in a year you're trying to make it to the Mem Cup. Surely you should have been looking for a goalie at the trade deadline?

Beach's suspension is ridiculous. The stick rode up Niemi's stick and hit him in the face. The 5 minutes was plenty. I would have argued that a double minor would even be excessive. Beach does do some silly stuff but this one was completely unintentional.

shushu

03-21-2009, 10:38 PM

I'm wondering as an outsider who Cane fans think will take the fall if they get knocked out in the first round. The fact that they don't have a decent backup goaltender falls directly on the shoulders of Stasiuk. I would also question some of the other moves he's made, ie Fadden and Chorneyko, or does Dyck take the fall given the fact there were such high hopes for this team after last season.
i wouldn't be fair to blame any one person on a possible quit exit, if roy would have kept a solid backup and maybe avoided a few bad trades there would have been little room for not pointing fingers at dyck with this much talent on a team. ...imo the gm puts the talent on the ice the coach get them to play at the best of there ability and if you look at the way this season has gone there is WAY to many breakdowns on both sides to say one or the other should go...........................

O&C

03-22-2009, 09:30 AM

What a game by the Canes last night! Boychuck really answered the call with the hat trick as well. I found it interesting that even Wright called out Boychuck in an interview on shaw for his performance in game one. King also looked fantastic tonight. Worked hard and won battles. Imo the biggest difference from game one (other than Juha), was that the Canes got the puck to the hash marks and started to crash Holtby. The Canes forcheck was also completely messing up the Blades who couldnt get out of their zone very effectively.

Wouldnt be surprised to see the Canes attack Holtby more while he is behind the net. That guy has screwed the Blades with his puck handling twice so far.

I guess it is safe to say that if the Canes can continue to play like they did last night for the rest of the series, the Blades are going to have a long series in front of them. And the Canes have home ice now... hope the crowd is just wild on Tuesday and Wednesday! Im definantly going to get the "Hoooooltbyyyyy" jeer goin! :D

Ps. How about Juha's dancing moves! Hahah, that kid is focused!

And Beach not being in the line up floating, so they could establish a good fore check, and strong back check, with no lazy bad penalties. Reners was very good in his place, and they put the successful line combos back together.

O&C

03-22-2009, 04:20 PM

Caniac, I normally sit up in JJ by the "power meter"! Its normally the most roudy place to be in the playoffs. Last year we started the "Juha" chant from that section and people were bringing drums and you can actually hit the power meter and make some good noise too. Plus that section is right behind Holtby for 2/3 of the game anyhow! :D

And as far as Beach goes, I tend to agree, but i know what he can bring to the team as well. He needs to bring back that hard working mentality that he had right after the trade.

HURRICANE'S ROCK

03-25-2009, 11:04 AM

I don't know who was doing the 3 stars for Shaw, but they should be fired. Holtby stole the game for the Blades and he wasn't even named one of the stars, he should have been the 1st star without a doubt.

Holtby played good but not first star good. He did a lot of fumbling around with the puck and a lot of the shots just hit him somewhere or another. If Ashton buries a couple of his great chances that Holtby didn't have to stop as he missed the net, it is a different score. Not making excuses, just don't think Holtby was great. S'tons stifling D is great and makes for few good scoring chances and therefor great saves are few and far between.
I guess tonight is the night we find out what this Canes team is made of. Win or we are done I fear. Actually played good enough to win last night but a couple of mistakes by the D and Beach not covering his man on the second goal and it was game over. I am positive the Canes will come out all guns ablazin and dominate early, but if this team runs into adversity or tight checking they don't do well.

GO CANES GO!

This makes no sense. You said Holtby didn't steal the game, and that they didn't burry their chances. Add that to these mistakes, Mestery not playing the body on Chorneyko and Beach not back checking and that equals a loss. Maybe they didnt play that bad but they sure didnt play good. The reffing was good and Toon's goaltending wasn't outstanding so how'd they play good enough to win?
I think Ashton was the best player for the 'Canes and no one else really stood out. And yes S'toons D was very good and I think they've been highly underated, by people out here anyways. The offense needs to get going for any chance of winning this series, we'll see what the coaches can come up with for tonight.

'Canes had their chances early in the 3rd to tie it, but couldn't do it. You know, watching the last couple games, Beach is absolutely useless. I always thought he was a good, smart hockey player. Watching the last few games though I have to wonder. He's continuously offside or putting his teammates offside, he doesn't pass the puck until it's too late, he shoots into defensemen's pads, he doesn't skate hard after the puck. I thought he was a really good player, but I guess not. Reffing was terrible both ways. Goals that shouldn't have counted, goals called off that should have counted, quick whistles, phantom calls, weak calls, that was absolutely brutal. Hopefully they let them play on Wednesday...

Are you watching on the TV or live?

In game 4 Beach did a lot of great little things that likely go unnoticed. Watching him live you can see that his hockey intelligence is much better than 95% of the guys out there.

Right now he is in tough playing with guys that just can't anticipate the game the way he does and he looks worse for it.

Tonight he played really well but has absolutely nothing to work with playing with guys who don;t have a lot of offensive instincts.

I have no idea why Dyck messed up the lines but it makes no sense to not have Beach playing with Ashton and Renners.

Now we have one great offensive line and 3 duds.

Having the Ashton-Beach-Renners line gives us another threat and then leaves the team with two solid defensive/energy lines that would work much better together.

Honestly watching Beach live since he came to the Canes and it is easy to see why he was such a high draft pick. Put him with quality players and he makes plays most guys don't or realistically just can't make.

localguy

03-31-2009, 07:33 AM

Beach is lazy, period. He is not on the top line because he doesn't deserve to be. The most consistent line we have had is the 17, 10, 14 one, hard work every shift of every game, and doing what they are supposed to.

scrawny69

03-31-2009, 07:46 AM

really I think you hit the Nail on the head when you state"I dont know why Dyck messed with the lines", it is time to rid our organization of this so called "coach" before he drags us back down to 5/6 years ago constantly rebuilding mode!! When you watch a game you see the opposing coaches "working"the benchs pattin guys on the back for good shifts,giving them hell for lousy shifts, and generally trying to keep the teams energy up!! Dyck(less) seems to be off in his own little world hiding back behind the players between faceoffs and NEVER shows any emotion towards the refs for non calls or bad calls. I believe this attitude or lack of it wears off on the boys and has cost us this year. The Blades coach is up for coach of the year because he does exactly that "coach" his team. Maybe our so called "super board" are seeing something totally differnt from their seats but from my section of season ticket holders, our team doesnt have the leadership to do anything this year!! to bad considering this was supposed to be the year, REMEMBER Roy!! when the season is officially over I say Fire Dyck(less) and have Roy escorted out of the building too!! vci33 :evil:

Beach has had his moments but overall I don't think the effort is there. One point in 5 games. Yes Dyck has him playing with a couple of cement hand players and that does not help but top end players would make those other guys better and not come down to thier level of play. Also he has had a ton of PP time and produced nothing. He played like a house on fire in his first month with Canes but has totally cooled off since then. He is not playing with any edge but the refs have made that hard for him. He is a marked man and I am getting sick of the calls and non calls on him. Last night 2 guys come together and smack into each other with gloves up as they do so often. Beach gets a figgin penalty and the Blades didn't. Later he gets totally mugged in the corner and no call. The refs were fairly bad both ways but this Beach calls/noncalls ***** is way out of hand.

I know I seem to only come on to bash Beatch, but its so much fun. Funnily enough the Silvertips were fairly competitive until Beatch showed up - other factors contributed as well. But he's never really put together a decent playoff series that I can recall and is not a team player in the least. Looks like Beatch is finally earning those many many peanlties for his cheap and nasty play. maybe the refs are finally tagging him for the gutless crap he does behind the play and behind the backs of the officials. Sorry but no sympathy when this piece of work gets called .. he's weasled his way out of so many calls over the years he's now freaking due.

Its teams that wins series, not individuals. One goal in game five -- woo hoo -well done buddy .. Chi-town's gonna love you. :D

On another note: well done by the 'canes to push the Blades in this series. Having the Blades have to force a game 7 is some fine work by the 'canes. Game 7's are always nail-biters, but are often the best hockey.

Feel free to not bother showing up to say anything about Beach if all you are going to post is crap like this.

Beach hasn't done any of the cheap stuff behind the play that you seem to love to whine about, has been nothing but great since coming here and made the team much better and has received penalties for no reason at all.

The only thing more pathetic than you still holding a grudge for no reason is moron refs affecting the outcome of play-off games with phantom calls because they are too incompetent to referee the game straight up.

I'm not the one resorting to personal insults, how immature and childish of you. All's I want to do is talk about the WHL with other fans, not be constantly insulted by a brat with nothing better to do then hurl snide remarks from his parents computer.

Don't worry. He's obviously knows that the Wheat Queens don't stand a chance against the Blades so he feels the need to insult their fans as a means of feeling better about himself and his one-dimensional team.

Yes, one dimensional team? If you took Holtby out of your net, and team...you guys would have been a .500 team all year.

Thats funny! and you have said many times that Holtby is over rated! Hows it going to feel to be a back door team next year in the Memorial cup? Because the Blades are going to be even stronger next year!

if the blades happen to win tonight... have fun playing on two days rest then having to face one of the top offences in the league that has had more than a week of rest and practising ... lets go canes.

04-01-2009, 05:35 PM

a week of rest isnt the best thing for a team. the Canes had a weeklong break before the dub championship and they got swept after winning 6 straight. I dont doubt the Wheaties, but dont be so cocky!

Oh and....O&C could you make another thread for the hitmen series....the last one was very nice so we could all post in one spot about the series....it would be really awesome if you did. Thanks.

Something I've noticed when either at Blades' games or watching at home, is that in C.U.C. they always have the long change twice, rather then the usual once in the 2nd. Is this a team decision by the Blades' or what?

Spokane is the same way. Oh ya, and WOOT WOOT, this dumdum is going to be cheering on his team in round 2. Enjoy not doing that Prostaff, Elliotfan. (Seriously though, great series by both teams.)

Way to go 'Canes!!!! Living near S'toon, I'm so sick of hearing the Blades' fans saying how good they are. Guess you really showed it in this series. One good Regular Season in about 15 years, ya that's something to be proud of! I get to hear all the whining tomorrow, but it'll be music to my ears! All four 2nd round series look like good ones!

What a game!! :D I almost had to step away from the TV at the end there! Kudo's to the boys for blocking all those shots. The Blades were really coming on strong in the last 10 minutes. And how about King once again. Especially in the last 2 minutes, he was forechecking relentlessly and not allowing Saskatoon to get set up.

Kudo's to the Blades for a great series and a fantastic season. Someone had to lose unfortunately, and it just wasn't the Blade's night.
I guess the Canes have proved everyone wrong. They have done the impossible and manged to "flip the switch". The team that won this series resembles very little of what we seen for most of the regular season. I guess that is why they call it a whole new season isnt it.

And yes CanesFlag, Ill definantly make a thread for round 2. Ill fire one up now and boot up photoshop tomorrow night and make some fancy stuff... I should have lots of time tomorrow since I will be ready to throw my remote through my TV within the first period of the Oil/Sharks game :P

PS.
Where are you Bocephus?? Haven't heard much from you lately bud...
