Last season we were fairly fortunate with injuries (except Skinner's concussion), but the season before we had the 6th most man games lost in the league, the season before that I cannot find and the season before that 7th most. So I would hardly say we've been fortunate for the last few years. 2/20/2013 8:17:03 PM

That must predate my first game, because I've never heard of a NCSU lot for Hurricanes games. But the answer is no. 2/21/2013 10:03:34 AM

look this is NOT trolling
1) It's a shortened, condensed season with lots of back to backs and quick turnarounds. If ever there were a season to use your backup goalie more often than normal, this is it.
2) It's a short season therefore each game is more important towards your playoff chances. Less time to recover from a slow start and make a playoff push. This is a sprint not a marathon, every game should be treated as though the playoffs are on the line. Particularly, with the 1 point per OTL scoring system.
3) Our backup goalie is better than our starter. 2/21/2013 9:36:46 PM

1 & 2 are the same.
I do agree that Ellis needs to be in goal next game (and maybe beyond if he performs well) after Cams last two games 2/21/2013 9:40:36 PM

face All American 8503 Posts user info edit post |
#1 is from the perspective of even if you have a clear-cut #1 goalie, this is the season to use the backup a little more for health and fatigue reasons.
#2 is from the perspective of don't use the "it takes time to iron out the kinks" mentality. Play the season out like every game is a postseason game. If this was Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals you'd start the hot goalie. Do that tomorrow too. 2/21/2013 9:57:28 PM

We might be playing more games, but that's probably our 3rd game in a week..we've had a lot of time between games.
That said, I think Ellis should get the start on Saturday. Cam wasn't very good in this game. I don't think Ellis is clearly better, but the change of pace might wake Cam up like it did earlier this season. 2/21/2013 10:29:30 PM

Once again I've fucked myself by reading the Canes' FB.
Yes, Cam was bad last night, but people are blaming him for the loss in Montreal.
A loss in which the Canes did not score.
WTF 2/22/2013 1:29:06 PM

ScottyP All American 1131 Posts user info edit post |
I mean, he was far from good against Montreal, but definitely not the reason we lost like he was last night. 2/22/2013 1:32:57 PM

vinylbandit All American 48079 Posts user info edit post |
He was fine in Montreal.
People see a truly terrible goal and freak the fuck out, forgetting that all the great goaltenders in history have let in screamingly bad goals.
Hell, Cam let in a fucking terrible goal in Game 7 against Buffalo in '06, and it worked out just fine.
Same for Brodeur in Game 3 of the '03 Finals. 2/22/2013 1:38:47 PM

people also tend to forgot that the guys in front of (or lack thereof) the goalie have a hell of a lot to do with his success 2/22/2013 1:41:24 PM

Seriously lol at his save attempt on the Blake Wheeler breakaway, though. Also 4 goals on 23 shots
Not the end of the world or anything, but he simply isn't a $6.3 million goalie. 2/22/2013 3:39:40 PM
