Canes are hot. Seven game winning streak. Necas has 17 pts during the run, including the game winner last night. Svech has 8 in the last 6.

Canes stay warm. Nine wins in last 10 skates. They gave Vegas their 1st home loss. Necas pt streak has continued to 10 games. Jordan Martinook has a goal in each of the last 4.

The scary thing for me is that coming into this season, if the Canes were going to have a great year, you would have thought Aho & Jarvis would have monster seasons. They've been merely "OK". And their top D pair (Burns/Chatfield) has yet to score a goal. So does that mean the rest of the team is playing above their skates? Or are they due to really take off once the expected contributors get hot?

What set this off?

Utah goalie Karel Vejmelka was black hole last night. Nothing was getting by him. He had 49 saves. Utah was practically on the kill the last 10 minutes of the game & the Canes still couldn't bust thru. Kudos to him.

Two things I didn't like though. Carolina lost Svech w/an injured hand from slash that wasn't called. While Svech was in possession of the puck. How the zebras missed it? Don't know. Svech could be looking @ missed time.

The other was an uninstigated attack by Michael Carcone on Jack Drury that got him DQ'd w/a major.

Is Utah known for being dirty or did I just catch them at the right/wrong time?

Canes update:

Team continues to play well, currently 2nd in the NHL in pts%. Necas pt streak finally ended in Philly @ 13 games. But Carolina still won 4-1 w/a 3 goal blitz in the 3rd period. Even better, Aho won the game w/a 5 on 5 goal that trickled through the Flyer goalie. So hopefully the puck luck for him is about to turn. In the meantime, SeaBass became the Canes franchise all time leader in GW goals passing the man that drafted him, HOF Ron Francis.

Bad news is that G Frederik Andersen is out 8-12 weeks w/knee surgery. On the plus side, it forces Brind'Amour to keep Kochetkov in the net. Hopefully, we will see him lock himself in as the number 1 netminder. On the negative, Pytor isn't the most durable player himself. So 3rd string Spencer Martin (very capable, he has the Canes only shutout) is going to need to be inserted frequently. And that means Carolina is one day away from having their entire season in ruins if one of those guys gets hurt.

I didn't want the Canes to bring back Andersen cause I felt he couldn't get it done during Stanley time. And he has now become injury prone. Canes are tight, super tight against the cap, so potential moves are limited @ the moment.
