Yeah. I keep expecting to see his name linked to an NHL opening, but nothing so far.

I'll be shocked If hes back behind Charlotte's bench next season.

Both new guys in the Cherkers lineup tonight for their playoff opener in Providence. Pritchard is at 3LW with Roy and Gauthier. Matthews is 4C between Lorentz and Nastasiuk.
FWIW, Bishop is healthy and at 2C tonight with Jurco and Necas.

As much as there are plenty of issues with the NHL's playoff format, the better team starting the first two games on the road in a best of five series is a head scratcher. I can see what they're trying to do in theory, but home ice is supposed to be an advantage.

Yeah, pretty much everything about AHL scheduling is a mystery

I'm sure it's done 100% to keep travel costs to a minimum. If you only want there to be one round of travel between the two cities, it's the only way to fairly split things in a five-game series.

Ya it's for travel. It's normally 2-2-1 but if the distance between the cities passes some limit (that I didn't catch), highest seed gets to choose whether they want first 2 or last 3 at home, so Cherkers chose last 3.

Checkers lost game 2 to Providence and apparently have lost Trevor Carrick to a series ending 3 game suspension with Bobby Sanguinetti also getting suspended. I bet Fleury, Brown, Bishop, Saku and McKegg are all on an express flight to Charlotte if the Canes lose tonight. The Checkers are going to need the extra bodies!

Re: 2018-19 Canes Prospect and Cherkers Thread
I don’t think McKegg can go back without waivers. Bishop already went back as soon as Martinook came back to play.
Ned pitched a a shutout tonight, Poturalski x2 and Saarela with the goals.

I guess nobody is going back now!!! I guess perhaps Brown could go back down if Svech and/or Ferland can play, but I like the way things have turned!

Btw they lead their series against Providence too.

I'd guess they'll either keep Brown until both of them are able to play or maybe swap him for somebody else. You HAVE to keep an extra forward around, especially given how banged up we are.

I think Brown was an emergency recall so he’d have to go back if Svech plays.

Pretty sure they can designate him as replacement for Ferland if he also isn't ready to go. Could be wrong, but I'm fairly sure we've slid that designation around in the past.

That's ominous. Martinook out and Svetch not coming back tomorrow?

Re: 2018-19 Canes Prospect and Cherkers Thread
Martinook played almost 13 minutes last night on heart and guts. He didn’t play at all in the OT. Svechnikov still has 1 more test to pass before he’s fully cleared. I think this move is insurance if nothing else.

Re: 2018-19 Canes Prospect and Cherkers Thread
I think if Marty has to play on nothing but "want to" he will, but you probably shouldn't ask that of a guy in Game 1. He certainly didn't help that leg get any better by playing on it the last two games. And honestly, if Svech still has to clear the contract practice hurdle, he's not going to get a chance until Game 2. The Canes took yesterday off and today is game day. It sounded like Ferland might be an actual possibility but we'll see. Bishop gives you options.
