Didn't love the decision making from the Canes that OT. For instance, the final loss of possession was Blake passing back to Svechnikov who had no stick and two guys on him.

Time for the third period, will anybody actually score a goal this season?

B. Tkachuk called for goalie interference. Bussi came out to cut off a pass to the backdoor and Tkachuk wasn't slowing down as he entered the blue paint

Blake out there with PP1, so he's okay

Canes fans, who do you think will score the first goal of the 2026-27 season?

1340

Tied 0-0 after one. Low-event hockey, but it was a physical opening at least. Hits were 18-13 CAR and we even had a fight

Deslauriers with a thunderous hit on Eller and then Imama challenges him. Following the fight, D-Lo went to pump up the crowd

B. Tkachuk standing on top of Bussi after a save, Bussi gives him a whack and the two jaw a bit. Brady having beef with both Canes netminders now

051

Bussi stones Bennett crashing to the net, but Aho was hooking him. Canes back to the PK
