If Caleb Love was on Michael Jordan’s team, he’d still want every shot in the 4th Quarter

The Workrate Hockey newsletter is *finally* out. In it, I go over last night’s game and break down the winning goal, and why that bodes well for the future. workrate-hockey.ghost.io/workrate-hoc...

No availability with Brind'Amour today, so we'll have to wait until tomorrow for an update on Kochetkov.

Was thinking the same when I saw it all on the ice last night-like EVERYTHING about this year’s look is great. Just…what the hell with this slogan?

Loved that. And it was LOUD in that place when he did it.

For a rough last few weeks it was great seeing players out there excited to play and Miller’s pumping the crowd after his goal…just inject that into my veins. Hearing fan appreciation went a lot further than I expected

Al Hood @albhood.bsky.social · 1d

Putting my fan hat on-last nights game was exactly what we all needed. Not even talking about the win but finally seeing what’s on the ice, the construction, and seeing the potential out there. The team looked ready to be out there and to play…

Thing I noticed last night-up and down hockey. A lot more back and forth than I’ve seen lately. All of a sudden you realize no Burns or Orlov out there and you can ramp up the speed.

Bill Belichick's uneven performance as head coach at North Carolina raises new questions about Joe Biden's mental acuity.

For those that didn’t hear, here is Rod’s presser in two clips:

Al Hood @albhood.bsky.social · 1d

If that was the reason Rod wasn’t told that. Asked after the game he…yeah.

Al Hood @albhood.bsky.social · 1d

Things you hear in the locker room-Jarvis after the scum answering with a “You don’t expect a goal to go in off a bounce.” Miller, done with his scrum and leaving looks back at Jarvy and goes “I HEARD THAT!” Jarvy looks back and laughs “YOU didn’t expect it to go in!”

The Carolina Hurricanes are 72-5-6 in regular season games when Seth Jarvis scores a goal.

Al Hood @albhood.bsky.social · 1d

Robinson gets in on the fun. Even with Markstrom in net. Pushes one past him on the rush and this should end 6-3.

Fitting that line gets another goal cause they started all this tonight

Al Hood @albhood.bsky.social · 1d

Jarvis. Emtpy Net. 5-3 Canes and that'll do it. Very likely anyway.

Al Hood @albhood.bsky.social · 1d

Shot was from Aho and the top line finally gets rewarded for their work. It had been building all night.

Markstrom out with 1:30 left and we're with an empty net.

Al Hood @albhood.bsky.social · 1d

Jarvis finally beats the post! Lifts the stick up with Pesce all on up on him and beats Markstrom. 4-3 Canes.

Let's see how long NJ goes with five skaters.
