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

[OVO16]

It aint a Islanders loss if they not gooning it up at the end against soft teams in the playoffs

 

[Tryamw]

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

It can be.. we have the proof.

Note not saying it's a good way

I think its more a personnel issue at this stage. They did the same thing under Lambert so not likely any coach can fix this

Final shot attempts were 110 Hurricanes, 28 Islanders

it was really a 2-1 game the Canes lost though

 

[SlavinAway]

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

I’m just pointing out the hypocrisy. We had people climbing up our assholes for suggesting that Slavin, a Lady Byng winner, is not known for embellishing.

 

[Zippy Chippy]

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.

"Officer, it's not my fault - it's what she was wearing!"

An ECHL team should keep the shots closer than that. That's a Canada vs Latvia kinda shot differential.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

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

Good luck Thursday.

Yes, I’m unmoved and uninterested…

Not picking on you, but the “until someone wins a road game” thing is one of those weird old hockey adages that needs to die. If a team goes up 2-0 that’s a big advantage. Not to say it’s insurmountable but things aren’t “fine” for NYI right now just because they haven’t lost at home.

[BMOK33]

One thing is for sure IMO. I think Sorokin is going to start game 3

 

[toomuchsauce]

Islanders really Islanders'd this one, what with their lack of corsis. seriously though. 19% CF% is ridiculous.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

That icing stat feels like it should be close to a record. Though the leafs vs devils game 20 some years ago probably beats it.

 

[Borsig]

One thing is for sure IMO. I think Sorokin is going to start game 3

Why?

 

[BMOK33]

Why?

Varlamov was just not good tonight. Bad positioning on the 3rd goal, no idea what he was doing on the 4th but I do not think you can go back to him after how this ended

I forgot Jake could do no wrong in these situations. He slid the puck in and innocently skated away. Never once has he done something dirty or said something mean. He follows the lord more than Jacob Slavin. I’m glad you’re convinced Guentzel is 10000% innocent and could never do something to make someone snap.

sorry officer, if my wife just didn't shut up.

 

[NorthStar4Canes]

Witness all ye doubters.

Rejesus rewards the pure of heart, blessed Canes while punishing the foul, dank, fish-smelly disbelievers who mock him and his agents of goodness.

Now listen to their anguished wailing and gnashing of teeth.

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Why were the Isles slashing Guentzel after EN goal? What did I miss? Trash move.

Go Canes!

Ok but what did he do then?

The video shows him scoring an insurance goal to likely seal the win and celebrating a *reasonable* amount.

Nelson immediately slashes him multiple times and starts to stir shit up. You’re defending Nelson’s actions and justifying them based on literally nothing other than ‘my son would never do that’ type of logic

Go Canes!

Frustration, simple

Was hoping for an Angry Dad style meltdown from Roy oh well.
