Dominate the period for the most part but not the scoreboard...hate seeing this story so often. Tighten it up in the 3rd defensively, stop giving them so much room

 

[Rempe73]

Have you met a NYer before? That's their way of saying have a nice day

Yupp lol. I am so shocked whenever I go visit relatives in other states at how pleasant people are

 

[zman77]

Drake is a Jerk!!

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

Lol Ranger fans do it as well (and I hate it too)

lol as a NY sports fan --outside of hockey--I could decipher that as clearly as my name. HA.

 

[Rempe73]

I think they just don't want a 3-0 series, which makes sense in the big scheme of things. League and networks obviously would love for every series every playoffs to go 7 games

Yea I get it. They want to make as much money as possible. And fans will keep watching regardless of how obvious they make it every game/series.

Playoff hockey (reffing) makes me so f***ing pissed off… call it all game or don’t f***ing call it… I’m a crabby old man now

Yea I've seen at least 15 more egregious holds in this game than the one we got called for. Two of their penalties were automatics in 2 much mann & high stick

Such class.

We don’t exactly have an entire fanbase of angels…. Some wildly inappropriate fans sitting near me at game 2 ruining a young family of islanders fans night being truly obnoxious and threatening…. The final score and crushing way the game ended should have been enough to ruin their night . … but they literally had to keep the kids in between the parents as they exited and field a LOT of abuse directed at them and their small boys…. I hated to see it…. Not their fault they cheer for the team they do…. They shouldn’t have had to take that kind of experience and fear for their kids safety to just go to a game which is supposed to be family friendly at pnc….

Next section over had a whole group of canes fans doing everything they could to start a fight with some islander fans… the language was 1980s Boston Gardens level…..

Bad apples everywhere…. Had to admonish my boy who was starting to parrot some of the loud cussing from some loud fans behind us…

It’s a shame that hockey playoffs are damn good entertainment. Because the reffing is unwatchable at best and borderline criminal at worst (players can get seriously hurt)

One of my favorite Sean Mcdonough football calls.

 

[Stickpucker]

Jarvis literally being held down on the ice is legal...I guess...

After the "interference" on Orlov they need to call dat.

 

[Derailed75]

20 minutes another goal and this game is wrapped up.

Let Go Canes!

Preach…

Or rather preaching to the choir here…. The standards are so all over the place and inconsistent….

If they called all the penalties, and called them consistently, the players would self regulate and not keep doing it…. But they keep at it because they think they can get away with it… and then get mad when they inconsistently get called for it only about 10% of the time they do it in the playoffs…. But also feel that getting away with it 90% of the time is worth keeping doing it for any advantage it can provide..

Okay, let's get it done, boys!

Sometimes the Canes power play looks good and sometimes it looks like 3 day old horse manure.

 

[Rempe73]

What a play Burns

 

[Tryamw]

No Not chatfield.

 

[Stickpucker]

Interference again

 

[ElmCityGuy]

We are a Chatfield injury away from me playing this Saturday.

 

[Tryamw]

Interference again

Was it Murder then the canes aren't getting another PP.

 

[VAcaniac]

Is this game sold out? I see a lot of empty seats.

Granted, no one can sell seats like Raleigh’s traditional hockey market…

Unironically better than most of our previous playoffs.
