GDT: ECQF: Game 2 - Carolina Hurricanes vs New York Islanders, 7:30pm ET, ESPN2

[BMOK33]

I think the 2 days off here hurts Carolina somewhat. I do think NYI wins game 3 but probably goes quietly thereafter like 4-1/3-1 or something along those lines. If somehow they win both at home I still would not think they win this series but it would put unnecessary strain on Carolina having to go more than 4 or 5

 

[New Jersey Devils]

Can someone explain to me why Nelson and Palms were flipping their shit after the ENG?

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

We still saw tonight why CAR is not gonna beat the Rangers. Their goaltending and secondary scoring is just not good enough when you have Igor on the other side and the depth the Rangers have on offense. The Rangers to Carolina are like what Carolina is to the Isles in essense.

What? Nothing wrong with the goaltending. Stat line looks bad because Canes only allowed 12 shots but 2 of those goals were scored by guys who were left wide open in front of the net with all the time in the world. That’s not on Freddie at all. He probably would like the Horvat goal back but it was a great shot from the top of the circle.

Canes getting goals from Teuvo, Jarvis, Aho, Martinook seems like pretty balanced distribution to me…. Again… very confusing post

Carolina just does not have what it takes against them. We've seen it already several times but the main reason is Andersen just is not good enough to win a team a cup at all. He was only reason they even were in position to lose this game today

Wait, are you stating you believe the Rangers have what it takes? How is it even possible to say that?

Has anyone on their roster won a Stanley cup? I am sure there are a couple but let’s not act like this team hasn’t shit the bed as well.

 

[BMOK33]

Neither was Lundqvist.

It was their offense that cost them, I never felt they lost a series in their true contending years due to him

Hard shot into the net..
Ask O'Reilly

I think it’s because they’re little whiny ass bitches. Would have to confirm this for sure but that’s what seems to be the consensus right now

Likely something verbal was said. I think they did not love the celebration either.

We’re 3 days into the playoffs let’s cool it on the NYR-CAR series preview and see how Round 1 shakes out first lol

We should totally take into account the other team's feelings when scoring an ENG.

All Nelson did was prove that you gotta shake your hand or leg like “owie owie” in order to get the refs to call a wicked 2 handed slash lololol

Nelson immediately slashed Guentzel after he scored, and then continued to pursue him. This was all on Nelson.

hot heads like their coach?

I personally do not get it either, thats why I assume it was verbal issues. But there's dumb unwritten rules sometimes that opponents can consider excessive celebration, I am sure they'll talk about it in the postgame if asked

When was the last time Nelson snapped like that? He’s not the type to do that at all. 1000% Jake said something or did something cheap.

There wasn’t any time for Guentzel to celebrate. He scored and got slashed, then cross checked against the boards.

Some twitter accounts said he said "F you" I do not see it on the replay though that he says anything

 

[BalButtercluck]

I am an Islander Fan, and I am done. f*** them. Canes deserved to win.

I hope you guys sweep us, Lou gets fired the second you win the series, and half our team is traded in the offseason.

I am so beyond disgusted by this game I cant even begin to explain how I feel.

But as of right now I am no longer a NY Islander fan.

Had to have been earlier in the game. A F you won’t get Brock to react. He’s most likely stoned 75% of the time.

Jaccob Slavin the known diver but Nelson is definitely completely innocent here.

Nelson usually doesn’t snap but hey, think what you want.

 

[Bruce Granville]

I‘d give Nelson a game or two to cool down. That was intend to injure.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Shots were 29-5 in the last 2 periods. That's not how you close out a game Patrick.

Things don’t get interesting until someone wins a road game.

Good luck Thursday.
