Bruins score a shorthanded goal to start things up after the D and Cam fall asleep back there.

Ellis looked better in his game and 2/3s than Cam has looked. D is horrible though.

Brutal turnover by McBain led to a breakaway, but Cam actually made the 1-on-1 save.

First game I watched this year. Offense looks solid (aside from the 2nd PP unit). Defense still isn't very good, Ward looks bad. Same issues they've had for a while.

Re: Carolina Hurricanes 2012-13.1 (2-2-0) 1/28 vs Bruins
Bruins are just a really good team and the Canes were chasing for the majority of the 3rd. The O looks decent. Would be nice if Westgarth would actually fight sometimes and LaRose and Dwyer could finish occasionally. Semin looks great so far but would be nice if players would try to find him more often as IMO he has the best shot on the team. D looked terrible but I guess that's expected. Ward looked more aggressive and that's good but went down too quickly and that's bad. Looks like a 9th place finish to me if D depth isn't acquired.

Off the ice, Carolina recalled Andreas Nodl and placed forward Zach Boychuk on waivers. The move to place Boychuk on waivers was necessary in order for the forward to be assigned to the Canes’ AHL affiliate in Charlotte. Teams around the NHL have until noon Thursday to put a claim on the former first round pick. If that claim is placed, Boychuk would have to remain on the NHL roster for the remainder of the season. www.wralsportsfan.com/faulk-la...ivers/12045726/

Blown 1st round pick for the Canes. Maybe a new place will be good for him, supposedly will get a chance on Malkin's line, but he never materialized for the Canes. They knew some team would likely take a flyer on him when they placed him on waivers.

And the last word in your only sentence is the crux of the problem. In a salary cap system, performance on the ice has to come close to matching the cap hit each individual is assigned.

Put Ward on a team with a halfway decent defense and his performance would look a lot better. The winning goal Monday night is a prime example. The Canes can't clear the puck, the defense breaks down and Boston gets a shot on the open net.

From Chip (as mentioned earlier, they knew he'd likely get claimed):
- Rutherford on Boychuk being claimed by Pens: "We knew it might happen. We're happy for him, that he's getting another chance."
- Rutherford on what kept Boychuk from being NHL player: "With us, his consistency."

RE: Carolina Hurricanes 2012-13.1 (2-3-0) 2/1 vs Senators
My view is not frustration that Boychuk is leaving, it's that a first round pick was used on him in the first place.
Outside of the can't miss "superstars" on the roster (and one could even make arguments there, perhaps), most of the Canes' "homegrown talent" has been putrid at best.
Edit: And I know he was "highly rated" - the 8th best N. American skater. Just frustrating how other teams seem to be able to reload through the draft and we just..don't.

^^ Not sure about you, but from my amateur eye, Boychuk showed me absolutely nothing. Didn't bring anything to the game when he had his chances. He had opportunities with the top lines through the years. Nothing. Now, who knows, maybe he goes to Pittsburgh and finds his place. If he gets to man one of the wings on Malkin's line, than he should have plenty of opportunities. Just as he did playing with Staal and others.
As Felonious stated, him leaving is no big deal to me. The pick was a bust for the Canes. Plenty of 1st round busts through the years across the NHL. It happens.

Re: Carolina Hurricanes 2012-13.1 (2-3-0) 2/1 vs Senators
Lack of desire and a poor work ethic basically has haunted Boychuk during his tenure with the Hurricanes.
Watch - he will go on and be a serviceable NHL'er who finds his game after leaving the Hurricanes like quite few before him.
I'll lay half the blame at his feet and the other half at the Hurricanes inability to develop players.
