GDT: SAUNAMEN @ rags' dusty shoeshine stand

[Borsig]

Did he say anything about trouba shot to Jarvis?

of course not. Not allowed

 

[Tryamw]

Did he say anything about trouba shot to Jarvis?

don't know.. Had to visit the important room

 

[Wolfpuck]

PK pissed at the TDA call, lays out how it's a clean hit and there should be no call. Good for him!

I agree, but what the f*** good does that do us now?

 

[skipnjump]

We're playing their game and losing.

You're right. We need to play our game and not get sucked into doing stupid things. We can do those all on our own.

 

[Tryamw]

I agree, but what the f*** good does that do us now?

Nothing

he's right, but they would have just stuck with calling the initial Necas tripping and we all know it.

 

[JustPenalties]

They convert on the pp and we don’t. It’s really that simple so far in this game.

I think its a good thing Rangers did this in the pp now, canes just need to stay of the penalty box, Rod is probably giving them hell right now.

Doesn't help in game, but it does help shape perceptions and puts the refs on alert that that kind of BS will be noticed and broadcast to the world, which they generally really f***ing hate.

 

[hockeynjune]

We are better than what ever that was for sure

 

[Tryamw]

Oh well we lost the first.. Time to Strap on the skates Grind them and get ready for the second.

 

[Borsig]

real world results say different.

We really need pesh back and they are just ALL over our D. they are eating us alive

 

[DaveG]

yes, but, our PP ineffectiveness and their effectiveness on the PP so far will just give them further incentive to goon it up massively knowing that we won't be able to make them pay on the scoreboard.

 

[VAcaniac]

We need one of our stars to have a big second

 

[wgknestrick]

Freddy gave up 3 goals on 0.6 xGA

[Borsig]

unless we convert on the PP we are going to be down at least Aho, Guentz or Jarvis

 

[DaveG]

Freddy gave up 3 goals on 0.6 xGA

this is why I question xGA in hockey, lol. He definitely should have had the first one though.

 

[JustPenalties]

So far... No need to speculate this after 20min of this series. Lots of s*** going to happen before either team has 4 wins.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Freddy gave up 3 goals on 0.6 xGA

If thats how xGA works it is entirely worthless

 

[MyLuckyPuck]

Reminds me of that BOS series several years back. ECF I believe. Just swept the ISLE, come in cold and couldn't kill a penalty for anything. Our PK was also ranked high that year too. That one ended quick.
They executed their plan to perfection. Bully us around and force us to take retaliation and capitalize.
As an aside, I like the D'Angelo move on that hit. Someone gotta show some grit.

 

[Brad Meador]

Anyone remember Game 3 vs the Isles and Game 3 vs the Devils in last years playoffs when we literally got our doors blown off?

We recovered from those games and I have faith the Hurricanes will recover from this game (if they lose). Have 40 minutes left. Anything can happen in the next 2 periods.

 

[Joe McGrath]

The one they passed out of the corner to a completely uncovered 40 goal scorer 5 feet out?

We objectively suck against teams that prefer a bullying approach. That’s why NYR and Florida are such thorns. We get goaded and emotional very easily.

 

[THE JAM]

G - A - J back together please

 

[Bruce Granville]

Too early a start, poor reffing, bad PK…don‘t get injured and move to the next game.
Try some different match ups, if possible.
Maybe pull Andersen if Rags score next.
