Lets play Atlanta again
Wow, the Canes own the Thrash and no matter how many cheap shots they throw at Cam Ward, Wardo is steady as a rock in net against this team. This is the second game in a row that the opossing team has pulled their starting goaltender (their number 1 netminder) and put in the back-up.
The Canes are on a roll. Saturday they scored three goals in 43 seconds. Tonight two goals in 40 seconds. And hats off to Scott Walker, the man that would drop the gloves to take up for the hit on Eric Staal that happened in the first period. Yes, Walker was assesed a two minute minor penalty, but at least he stood up for one of the play makers on the team.
And speaking of play makers, how about "Sugar" Ray Whitney? Yes, I know that most call him "The Wizard", but from the two goals he scored tonight and the goal he scored last time in Atlanta back on Friday, October 13th, man those goals have been pretty sweet. Maybe not in how they went in, but in there timing.
Time to focus on Thursday and the Montreal team that will be awaiting the Canes at the RBC Center tomorrow night. This is the first time that these two teams meet since the game 6 winner again by "Sugar" Ray Whitney back at what used to be the "Centre de Molson" the home of the Canadanes. This is the fifth consesctive back-to-back that Carolina has played in five weeks. They are finally over the mendoza line and look to stay that way.
The key to Thursday night's game is the physicality that the Canes present to Montreal. Let's just hope that Wardo is in net and not Johnny Grahamme "Cracker". Again, I am not a huge fan and Cam played staller in net tonight.
