Carolina looks to snap a five game losing streak and end this dismal road trip on a good note in Chicago tonight. Frankly, you guys can let me know how this one goes because I'm going to the State/Wake Forest game. Chicago is coming off a loss to Calgary and sit one point ahead of the Canes based on having one more OT loss. Woo freaking hoo. They've fired their eventual Hall of Fame coach and have struggled in pretty much every team statistical category. Except for the coach thing, that all sounds really familiar. Of course, they also have three forwards ... Kane, DeBrincat and Toews ... who can make something good happen at pretty much any given time. Carolina has one halfway decent line and they're mired in a slump after cooling down from a hot start. Neither team gets decent goaltending on a regular basis.
Carolina made a couple of roster moves that won't amount to much. Bishop and PDG are back, Roy is heading to Charlotte for their AHL weekend slate. Bottom line ... whatever. I assume Darling will go against his old team tonight and that he'll square off with Cam Ward in the other net ... and that neither of them will be particularly good. Or particularly bad. They'll just be there. So, enjoy this one if you can. I'll probably catch the condensed game on NHL.com tomorrow morning. Maybe.
