Round 3: Hitmen vs. Hurricanes

[loudi94]

The only question is Spence or Jones. Our only win against the Canes this year came win Jones in net.

Bad goals in the playoffs are killer. I said before the playoffs started that was our key. So far Yoohoo has given us the goaltending we need. If Calgary's keepers don't come up big they won't have a chance.

Goaltending will be the key,I imagine they will start
Spence in Game 1..As far as plante goes, I think he should
be a healthy scratch and put McKenzie in..Plante makes way too
many mistakes, and he is too slow and too soft...I am a huge Hitman fan
but this will be a huge test vs the Canes.....Hitmen in 7

I noticed that Seabrook was a scratch last night and McKenzie was in.
What was that about.
Has Seabrook been less than stellar recently?
is McKenzie just to good not to dress?
It isn't to often you see a 19 year old as a scratch when he has been suiting up all year.

I don't know if Seabrook is hurt or not, but, I have observed that he is good offensively but been shaky in his own zone....and McKenzie is a very good looking prospect....

Goaltending will make the difference in this series for sure (and Fadden/Boychuk). I bet the HM start Jones. He has your only win against us this year. We ate up Spence.

I think your top 2 lines cancel each other out. If Sonne and Duval can play to their potential, the Hitmen have 3 lines vs Canes 2. Goaltending obviously goes to the Canes....so, Hitmen in 7.....unless Sonne and Duval don't step it up, in that case Canes in 6!!!

Take a look at our 3rd and 4th lines, 3 gwg that i can think of off hand, and that's just two rookies. You seem to think we have no depth beyond the top 2 lines, yet here we are still in the hunt for a banner.

That's not true, and not what I said. If Sonne and Duval play to their potential, you have to give the 3rd line edge to the Hitmen, and they win in 7. If they don't play to their potential, you win in 6.

Lets Go Hurricanes.....hope we play hard 60 min every game so we can get a banner for our selves......and in the mean time move on to the fourth round a get a trophy as well. Go! Canes Goooooooooooooo!!!

II really think they will give Spence one more
shot,he's been the guy most of the year, but
if he has one more shaky game, you will see Jones,
probably for the duration...As far as Seabrook goes,
i thought he was playing his best hockey of the year
in the playoffs, was a bit surprised he didn't play in
game 6..McKenzie is very good and only 16 yrs old...
Seabrook can be a bit scary in his own end...Wow 3-0 Sharks
