[RangerBoy]

WIN

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

Just f***ing win.

 

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

And yet we hit 50 wins for only the third time in franchise history.

Yeah. Imagine where we could be if we realized Strome did nothing earlier on.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

We win, cardiologists will be popping champagne across the Tri-State area.

We lose, psychiatrists will be popping champagne across the Tri-State area.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Trouba!

He’s #2 on the list

 

[PuckLuck3043]

I think we should take a moment to appreciate the ability that the Canes’ management, scouting and coaching have shown in assembling, developing and managing such a formidable squad. Masterfully done.

Yup and it took them a few years to do it. It just doesn't happen overnight. This is just part of the process. We will be there in 2 years.

2 Months.

Letting Strome walk is a start.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

They key to this game and this series has always been our PP vs their PK. If they aren't any better than the last 2 games then we are toast.

 

[carlsection404]

It wont be better because nothing will be adjusted. No practice.

It's up to the players to make the adjustments in-game. I do not see that happening. Hopefully I'm wrong.

We're setup to fail on the PP as it is right now. Slow, methodical movement up-top, plays into Carolina PK strength.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

2 Months.

Letting Strome walk is a start.

Yup. Strome has always been a stop gap. We need a real solution at 2c moving forward. Strome's day are numbered here but It was a great trade though since we got him for Spooner.

 

[duhmetreE]

No more excuses.

Our top paid vets need to show up. How about a shot on goal or two. That’s a good start

You are probably right as aggressive PK's give us trouble. They need to just gets pucks to the net and hope for some deflections and puck luck.

I have my doubts on that as well.

What happened to all our set plays? The Kreider deflection ones? They haven't been tried in some time. The puck needs to come down low. The problem is that it sets up Strome who is one of our worst finishers. Hopefully we get lucky tonight

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

I want Georgi with a pair of boxing gloves strung over his shoulders and flourishing them towards #77 at every opportunity. I hope MSG gives TD the word all game long.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

What's our record and Igor's numbers for day games this year? Hank used to be dreadful on day games because it messed with his routine and mid-day nap.

 

[SA16]

What's our record and Igor's numbers for day games this year? Hank used to be dreadful on day games because it messed with his routine and mid-day nap.

Hank had a career .921 save percentage in day games and .918 in night games.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Strome being on PP1 has been idiotic from the jump. Laf should be there. He's a better playmaker and finisher. He can also shoot off the pass from that spot. It is pure negligence that it hasn't been tried all season.

 

[DialUp]

I feel terrible about today's game, which means we are going to win.

It f***s with every players routine. The NHL scheduling any playoff day games are an absolute disgrace

 

[duhmetreE]

Boston was blown out of the water against Carolina in Carolina. Everyone thought they were done.

They came back and smacked them in Boston.

We need the exact same thing.

Yeah I'm just hoping to sweep the home games so they have a chance in game 7 where anything can happen

Yea true they were only 25% on the PP for the year maybe they could have been 40% if they made that change. Could have been the best PP in history.

 

[haveandare]

It sucks to be down 2 but those games were extremely close and the team played with the requisite defensive structure that I honestly didn’t think they were capable of.

If they can balance it with a semblance of offense they can win still. It’s not one persons fault really but Panarin pulling his head out of his ass alone would probably be enough
