Canes need to win their home games
It’s hard to believe they can beat the Rangers period if they couldn’t win this game. Carolina desperately needed this game and had the lead in the 3d.
I am a doomer when it comes to the Rangers in this series and hope I’m wrong. The pessimism comes I believe from rooting so hard for Carolina in this game for 5 periods of play and seeing nothing but futility; after the 30th squandered grade A look, you start to think it just ain’t gonna happen.
Carolina can’t beat the Rangers. I’ve seen nothing in the past 2 games that leads me to think they can win this series and a good deal that makes me think they’ll even get swept. Rangers in 5, I guess, is my conservative opinion.
As for the Refs giving NY 8 power plays and maybe calling 14 penalties in the game (if my memory of the box score serves me), and that last call in OT . . . Well let’s just not go there. What a joke.
