Yeah, no big deal. Our backup is injured :P

Lets see if Hammond will be the good luck charm to break the cycle of losing in Raleigh. How long as it been since they won a game there?

Late 2011 in a shootout. Last regulation win was in 2007-08.

Let's just hope that the absence of pressure doesn't make Hammond too comfortable. Though he started this run while Anderson was unhealthy, so it shouldn't be a factor.

I don't think the pressure has abated. People are getting really optimistic about Ottawa contending for that 8th seed. And the Ottawa media has talked non-stop about the Carolina curse. The team must be feeling the gravity of this game.

Wow, I knew it had been a while...but didn't realize it was 7 years ago... :shock:

Yup. A 6-0 Ottawa win on December 12, 2007.

Ray Emery got us the official win, making one save in 5:14 and getting injured. Gerber stepped in and made 25 saves, and the Sens got awarded a "team shutout"

Anton Khudobin in for the Canes'

5-0-0, 1.80GAA and a .949SV% against Ottawa in his career

Re: Game 69 Sens @ Canes 17/03

Boro drops the gloves with Brad Malone. Wasn't too much of a fight

Not sure how Malone doesn't get an instigator. Boro hits him and then Malone wants to fight him right after. This year, that's really been a call-it-if-I-want type of call...

Re: Game 69 Sens @ Canes 17/03

Five minutes in and the Sens will need to play better if they want to win. They've spent the majority of the game in their own zone and haven't been able to test Khudobin. Hammond has made a few big saves already

Re: Game 69 Sens @ Canes 17/03

Turris and Michalek each finally get some good chances on Khudobin about midway through the 1st

Carolina gets the first PP - Michalek
