I still see the same issue I’ve seen for years. A lot of volume…very little finishing talent. They do this all season against all kinds of goalies…but the 0-15 on the PP this series isn’t going to bail them out'Canes got goalie'd.
Outshot Rangers 47-25 and lost 3-2.
I think Carolina definitely outplayed them today, they were goalied. Last game they put up 52 shots and Shesterkin shut the door. Rangers have capitalised on mistakesRangers sweeping the Capitals was expected.
Rangers sweeping the Hurricanes would not be. They've been the better team the entire series.
Carolina is 0-15 on the PP this series.
Benn is a dick but that was a good no call behind the net
I'm actually shocked, I thought Benn went high and it was extremely predatory. I guess strictly by the book it could be interpreted as clean, but Benn's intention isn't to separate Toews from the puck, his intention is to try and separate his head from his body.

(Whispers) Lindy out-couched Gallant in the playoffs one year ago and everyone laughed at us for hiring him
Seems like most Sabres fans are fine with the hire. We also don't know the extent of the search, and I'd say it's not worth getting worked up over something we'll never be able to confirm. Regardless, Lindy at least fits the mold of what they need. Whether or not that works out is anyone's guess.Literally nobody outside of the Sabres fanbase cares the Sabres hired Lindy, let alone cares enough to laugh at us.
Most of the laughter came from Sabres fans laughing at the “coaching search” they performed or at least said they did while it being obvious Lindy was the hire. The laughter came from the Sabres going back to the nostalgia well again.
Absolutely predatory. Elbow was tucked in/down, looked like bicep of Benn point of contact to the head. Wasn’t going for the puck at all. Benn had Toews whole chest to target with the hit and gotten the same result with a cleaner and just as devastating hit. There was no need to come at that angle for the hit.
Not a fan of this hit at all. With the wheel of justice of discipline this league has, I expect no consequences. I’m not sure if this hit would meet any of their thresholds, to consider a review in the playoffs. If this was regular season maybe a game or two would be handed down.
The on ice officials reviewed the hit for a major penalty, and deemed there was no infraction on the play. It's not against the rules to hit someone hard, you were taught as a kid to drive your hit through the opposing playerAbsolutely predatory.

You should try listening to some hockey podcasts instead of dealing out absolutes that are “literally” incorrect.Literally nobody outside of the Sabres fanbase cares the Sabres hired Lindy, let alone cares enough to laugh at us.

Not really. Igor has played well but Carolina is just spamming shots from the outside. Igor will gobble those up all day, making life easy for the Rangers.Huge goalie diff in rangers/carolina series
If Carolina gets swept:
The last six times they’ve made the playoffs, in the series they’ve been eliminated in they’ve won 5 games combined.
They went to 7 games once. They’ve gotten swept 3 of them. 4-1 and 4-1 the other two
