Post-Game Talk: Official: Hurricane Sebastian Downgraded to a Tropical Storm

[bl02]

By the way at the end of the day trouba miller pair had a pretty good night according to the charts. They had that one goal against on the bad pinch but otherwise were pretty good

Still don't agree with demoting Schneider but seems like the coach stuck to his guns and it worked.

Really proves that it all came down to Igor vs Anderson.

I told you guys, goaltending matters in the playoffs. You can't just win with anyone.

Unless I’m reading that wrong, Igor’s goals saved above expected was 1, so was Carolina’s aka goaltending was pretty even overall based on that *shrug*

The Canes board had an alliance with the Devils board for this series.

My friends from Tampa showing up:

Lindgren makes the offensive play of his life on that 4th goal. Gotta rewatch it

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Someone yesterday said it would be nice if the Canes had a shitty game or period.

Well their third was as bad as the Rangers in game 5, maybe worse.

It’s a game of ebbs and flows.

The amazing thing is after seeing it happen over and over all of these years - you never know when it’s going to happen.

 

[Luger]

I pick on him, but hell of a grit play by Roslovic to set up the second goal.

This team played a great series and beat a phenomenal hockey team.

Laviolette has done a great job.

Has it been said? 2 ECF's in 3 years!!

Roslovic was an excellent trade deadline deal. Teams are giving up first round picks plus prospects at TDL for players who delivered less than he has in the first two rounds.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Just finished watching this one. Wish I could have watched live. I’m stunned. Team’s MO all year and they did it again.

Was legitimately sick at the end of the 2nd.

Kreider with a genuine all timer.

Shesty made some absolutely huge saves as well. I’m surprised scoring chances numbers are as close as they were. Felt really bad through 2 and Canes had numerous opportunities in the 3rd.

I go in and out with Roslovic.

I hate him and then he makes a really nice play.

I'm glad we had him rather than not tonight.

 

[LeetchisGod]

I’m in shock. What just happened?

I'm still kind of numb. No one could have seen that coming.

Tell your brother in law to be and the rest of his groomsmen to eat my ass.

... But for real, Congrats to him and your sister. Enjoy the wedding!

I have a confession to make. I acted in person exactly how you'd expect, lol. I turned the game off at their first goal (I was so pissed I was planning on missing this game from the start but turned it on out of hope). I was following on my phone and was cursing this team out and worse than that. If you guys want me to get my just desserts I got it by missing the comeback. That was the most shocking win I can remember and I missed it due to a mix of anger and fear. Oh well, I guess that's a lesson for me. I still don't know how to feel right now.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I had a miserable day at work and was just irate at what was happening in this game double as a result.

This is a great, very self-aware post. Here's the lesson to learn. As a fan, if you have the time to sit down and watch a whole game you have to stick it out tough moments because...well...crazy shit happens in sports. When you get all miserable and give up on a game you cost yourself the opportunity to enjoy that crazy shit...which is the best damn part of sports. That is turn will make you kind of a miserable fan.

Also, just take the bad times. Watch the other team celebrate their wins...soak that crap in. It makes the rare great moments like getting to the ECF (and that shit is rare) that much better.

I'm a superstitious guy. There are hockey gods. We want good things as fans? Stick with the bad to get to the good. Earn it!

Lindgren not getting enough love. I mean obviously this will be Kreider's defining moment, but Lindgren and Panarin were the only ones playing all 3 periods. The defensive zone strategy for 3 periods was "let's let lindgren go into the corner and retrieve every puck". Very fitting he set up the game winning goal

 

[Black Aces]

To those of you who stayed, you deserve this. I didn’t. After the 2nd period, I just couldn’t take the pain anymore and I had to turn it off. Biggest mistake of my life. Ugh.

if you kept watching it wouldnt have happened

Same.

Was really down. I think anyone who’s watched this team closely saw a repeat of the Devils choke beginning to unfold.

Happy to eat crow on that feeling.
Need to watch that third again

 

[Ned Braden]

Take it easy on the canes fans, shit must be hard - they outplayed us for a lot of this series

Nah...the better team won

 

[Riche16]

Watched this game at a pool hall with a couple buddies. They are both now adoptive sons of Kreider.

I was in the middle of a pool league match...

I think paying attention to the TV instead of the match f***ed my opponent in the head.

I was like "Huh? My turn? Am I stripes or solids?"

One of the guys on his team was wearing a Svechnikov jersey.

I won 4-0 rackless

Hahaha I love it man. Going to have to find a red white and blue pocket square and be subtle about it.

 

[FultonReed]

love you guys

 

[tomobson]

Hopefully Chytil is ready to go next series.

 

[Levitate]

I go in and out with Roslovic.

I hate him and then he makes a really nice play.

I'm glad we had him rather than not tonight.

He’s got the skating and skills to just attack the offensive blue line and push guys back and he can be real nifty hanging onto the puck…he’s just pretty inconsistent even with his decision making at times.
But if he’s going good he adds a lot to that line

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Dear Ranger gods, please forgive me for the sins I posted in the second period. I am a very flawed individual and I promise to never step out of line again.

Amen.

 

[bobbop]

Fox needs to be locked in a hyperbaric chamber for the next week...

Hard to believe but even with all the angst, we are still the first team through to the Conference Finals. Fox needs the rest. He is clearly hurting. Rangers will likely be off until at least Monday, perhaps longer

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

I am literally not kidding that before the 3rd started I literally contemplated how Kreider was a good ranger but he should never have his number retired because his career was plagued with playoff failure.

I am an absolute mutant beyond comprehension with literally a 58 iq and a 3 in penis

 

[LeetchisGod]

gonna have to order a Kreider jersey after that

Really want a Kreider stadium series but that ship has probably sailed.

 

[FUZfan]

In the past, very occasionally, I have been critical of Kreiders play.

Tonight I feel shame for those posts.
