I agree with you Bo. Like I said 2 posts back, penalties, especially the cheap/retaliatory ones, have cost the Canes a lot of games. We have had what, 20 OT games this year. Take away a few penalties every game we've played and we might have as much as 5 or even 10 more points. That's the difference between being 3 points out of a playoff spot and parked in 9th place, versus battling tooth and nail with Edmonton and the Wheat Kings for 6th/7th. Big, big difference.
Let's hope the boys keep the stupid penalties out of the game tonight. If they do, the Canes will beat the Blazers............... GO CANES.
