Post-Game Talk: Canes DEFEAT Isles Round 1

[CandyCanes]

Matchups to watch in this series...

Sebastian Aho vs Sebastian Aho

 

[VibesAlive]

I think we have a chance with Raanta, not so much with leaky Freddie.

 

[Bunch of Jurcos]

It's always who wins with you guys. It's never, "Do you know the Muffin Man?"

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

Assuming we should be expecting like 10:30am start times? Lol

I do dislike that the team with home ice in the first round gets strapped with week day games while the visitors get the weekend home games

 

[Svechhammer]

Hooray, cap circumvention!

Pacioretty shows up for game 3 with a bionic ankle stretching around to deflect pucks like inspector gadget

Yep, looks like he's playing.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Hooray, cap circumvention!

Uh, did they even go over the cap? I didn't think it looked like they did from Cap Friendly. Only thing they added after he went down was Engvall, right?

Agreed.

Didn't use to be that way. Playoffs started on Wednesday typically prior Covid.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

cool may make a day trip to NY for that if so

I mean if we're going that route...

"Bah Gawd King, is that Svechnikov's music?"

Might be time to see if the new in-laws have space in their UBS box. They're indoctrinated now and wear Canes gear to the games..well my daughter-n-law and her Mom do anyway.

ESPN2 & Bally

 

[Svechhammer]

So I had to swing past the arena last night, and if the branding on the exterior of the arena is any guide, we are wearing our 25th anniversary uniforms for the playoffs

Canes in 5.5 Games hopefully. But who knows. This series will be a bit like the spidermen pointing at each other meme, so I would expect most games to be close.

 

[Svechhammer]

Ya damn right.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

A little less head hunting from the Isles with Romanov out for game 1

 

[Blueline Bomber]

ESPN2 & Bally

Good, at least for the moment. Round 2 onward is almost always national broadcasts. And then we'll see what happens to Bally in the off-season. The NHL may have to step in if they want any regional broadcast programming for their games next year.

Possibly 2 am EDT

2 defensive teams. They have the clear advantage in goal, we probably have an edge in offense thanks to our defense. They are getting Barzal back though. We definitely have the advantage in experience, and coaching IMO, and obviously the better Aho. Should be a good series.

they missed the playoffs last year but before that had back to back ECF runs, I would not say we have any advantage in experience.
