[nevesis]

Not gonna score with one hand Nash...

 

[Killem Dafoe]

We got this.

 

[NickyFotiu]

Yeah, exactly. Its a bad game so far for Hank, but we can still win the game. We've outplayed the Canes through 2. Win the game, and no one will care how poorly any player played.

Lets win this game and then we can forget the other stuff.

 

[NYR]

So is the tremendous awesome back to form partner of his.

He's had a rough game, but those 2 have never played well when paired together.

Thats on the coach.

I'll blame most of it on the coach/system but they've also sucked all on their own

 

[Do you want ants]

How so? 3 person screen in front of him. Who is the defenseman in front who let that guy stand directly in Hank's sight line? 5 seconds left in the period, ****ing shove that guy out of there. Wtf.

And Holden just standing there flailing directly in the shot lane. Not even attempting a block, just standing completely upright. Perfect screen.

I know it's hard to believe watching the feed but it wasn't as bad of a screen as it looked. Holden sucks but Hank should have had that one. He had a solid read on it.

 

[FLYLine27*]

Canes have only won one game this season. I'll just leave that here.

 

[Anthony5967]

Criminal that Skjei has to skate alongside 22

 

[nevesis]

Canes have only won one game this season. I'll just leave that here.

Correct, they are 1-3-2.

 

[NYR]

It's shocking to me how Vigneault can watch this on tape and think to himself, 'Holden is a good defenseman and I'm going to give him lots of minutes, this is good, this is fine, all those goals and turnovers are not his fault and he should continue to get chances."

Absolutely mind boggling..

 

[Mac n Gs]

Hayes has had some really good looks tonight. We're still not connecting with our passes, but it looks to be an ice issue at this point. A lot of skaters are falling left and right.

 

[NickyFotiu]

Oscar does not look 100% but I respect him for trying his best while Jooris is injured.

 

[FLYLine27*]

Sad that hayes and miller have to play with fast.

 

[SA16]

Not gonna score with one hand Nash...

Wasn't really even a scoring chance the defenseman was all over him

 

[NYR]

Holden back with McD. Unbelievable...

 

[Mac n Gs]

We need to keep a guy in the low slot. Canes are collapsing three guys down low around the net to break the puck out, and no one is there to stop them.

 

[jgrangers2]

I know it's hard to believe watching the feed but it wasn't as bad of a screen as it looked. Holden sucks but Hank should have had that one. He had a solid read on it.

Not that bad of a screen? Seriously? How much better of a screen can you have then two of your own players getting in the shooting lane and an opponent standing a foot in front of the crease? If that's not a great screen then the concept doesn't exist.

 

[FLYLine27*]

Correct, they are 1-3-0.

Incorrect. 1 win in their 6 games.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Bickell didn't score, but the goal was credited to him.

Yeah, I saw the replay. Hank was too deep and leaning out the other side looking for the puck.

Again, I love him for all he has done over the years, but I agree with Kovy so far this season - he isn't doing more than making the routine saves. He has only been a passenger on the ride the offense is driving. He needs to pick it up.

I have high hopes for this team if he can.

 

[Do you want ants]

No offense but it wasn't that bad. Hank should have had it. And I have no problem blaming the D for their screw ups.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Zibanejad needs to shoot the puck there.

 

[nevesis]

He was perfectly positioned for the shot. Textbook butterfly square to the shooter whilst keeping his upper body as big as possible.

He didn't see it and the puck had eyes.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

There's no better way to show how many fans are in a visiting building than by engaging in the worst fan tradition in the NHL.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Holy ****, it's the Lion King's mom behind the Carolina bench.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Rofl at Vesey just skating in front of Girardi so he can't just clear it into the zone to give Carolina the puck back

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Justin Faulk is having an excellent game.
