By the way, after watching the gif very closely a hundred times, the 3rd goal was definitely Chytil.

57 seconds into this video:



Keep replaying it and you can see Chytil's stick redirect Buchnevich's wrap. That's why he went first in the fist bump line to the bench. He wouldn't have done that unless he knew.
 
He was, and I stated that. I'm talking about a very specific issue with Carolina.
Been watching Hurricanes games for a while and I noticed this as well. Seems to me that shot quality is more important than shot quantity. That, or it’s a goaltending issue. Some goalies do better when they face more shots. Or analytics just aren’t as telling.
 
Here, I clipped the exact moment Chytil deflected it:


actually you could be right. it seems that Chytil got a piece of it (or like you say clipped it) otherwise that could have slid off Buch's stick wide. It happened so fast and could be wrong but looks like that's Chytil's goal
 
I can't remember Hank having a better game in the ten plus years he has been in net. And on the second game of a back to back, makes it all that more impressive. Over 80 saves in two days time.

And if you watched him closely during the game, you could see him yelling and being upset at all the quality chances his team mates were giving up. He was banging his stick, shaking his head, he was so animated. I am really surprised he held it together. And I have to say,... it can't be good for morale to ream out your team mates while the game is still in progress. But that has been Hank's MO forever. I wish he was more like Georgie, in that nothing ruffles his feathers. I would think, that would be better for those playing in front defending. But then I guess, that wouldn't be Hank's winning style. LOL

Yeah it's weird because generally a bad team can't create such sustained pressure , yet it doesn't translate.

It's like the early 90s Penguins pressure , with the scoring of the 2000s Devils.
 
I think Fil might have touched it but it was possibly over the line. As for our boy Kreider he couldn't pull the trigger. Walked in and then walked in some more. No goalie but a defensemen 10 feet outside the goal mouth was all that stood in his way. Kreider is not a natural snipper/goal scorer. That was evident on that play
 
Just a few good things about this game.

We again won with having a lead into the 3rd period. 5 for 5 this year.
Won a game we had no business winning.
Hank can still, single handedly steal a victory.
Second game of a back to back.
