The last home game.

The Blues have clinched a spot in the playoffs but are still fighting for position. A point clinches 3rd in the Central and leaves Nashville as a wild card. Vladimir Tarasenko is 5th in the league with 38 goals and 12th in points with 72. Vladimir Sobotka returned to the Blues after 3 years in the KHL and may play today. He signed a 3 year/$10.5 million extension.

The Canes close out the home schedule looking to build on their first 50 point home season since 08-09. But they come in on a 4 game losing streak, the most recent a desultory 3-0 loss to the Islanders which saw most of the Canes skating aimlessly areounf the rink. They swapped forwards with the Cherkers yesterday, sending Poturalsky down and calling up Tolchinsky. We'll see where he slots at the morning skate. Expect Ward in goal.

Another Homegrown series game. Appalachian Mountain Brewery and Bold Rock Cider will be pouring flights outside section 101. I highly recommend the IPA cider. The feature food is a grilled pimento cheese sandwich with fried pickle chips on the side. That's at the stand outside section 109. The posters will be available outside section 108. The Pseudo Cowboys will be performing at the intermissions.

Fox Sports Carolinas for TV.
 
Fun as in being tightened on a rack type fun? Sure. For the type we hope to have? I'm pretty sure we won't. But I've been wrong before.
 
Hope the guy that decided our Shootout specialist should be stapled to the #@%@#T%$@$%@# bench. (Sergei.)

Skinner might as well line up from center and Shoot from there it's got better odds then his Stop in front of the goalie technique. In real breakaways he varies it and doesn't stop and think.

Seriously Why where the people on the ice at the time when Staal took the penalty? Staal Slavin and Pesce don't scare anyone in 3 on 3. Why does Peters keep doing that?It's uncanny and the results speak for them selves. (Abysmal!)
 
Would be hard to believe that our overtime record could be any worse if we just put shooters out there. Come on Bill, roll the dice! What the heck do we have to lose now.

Tolchinski cared as well, he buzzed around trying to make something happen. Trouble is he looked like Samsonov, hanging too long onto the puck 'til losing it. Maybe, if he had, say five games he mighta settled down and actually made something happen. Yep, he shoulda been in the shootout.

Dahlbeck also cared, besides scoring a goal, he had 3 - 4 takeaways. Now I realize this was too little, too late but if he is confident in his position Klas could be just fine as a 3rd pairing guy next season. Let's see how they play tomorrow night.

Yeo is certainly getting more from his guys than is Peters and yes, he has some decent talent to work with.
