GDT: Canes@Rangers

[Bunch of Jurcos]

The way they mortgaged the future they hope not.

They don't have a 1st until 2030 it feels like. I don't know when the last time I've seen a team push that many chips to go all in.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

4 point lead with 8 to go?

Yeah... should be. But.... *looks at last 2 weeks*

I meant to put should in italics...

Essentially a 3 game lead since we’ll likely have the tiebreaker. Yes we play them at MSG again but outside of Colorado the rest of our schedule is pretty easy on paper. So yes we should win the division but the way we’ve played the last few months in general I’m not making any assumptions for sure.

 

[Svechhammer]

I can see them having a 2018-19 Lightning experience in the playoffs before they actually make some noise. Maybe not get embarrassed in the 1st round like that but they have massive expectations they've never ever had before.

Thats an entire team of players who really have never really known how to handle pressure well. If ever there was a team primed to blow their wad in the regular season and then clam up in the playoffs,....

 

[Svechhammer]

Florida wins in OT... 6 point lead for them in the East with a game in hand and 9 games left. They will be the top seed.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

We could see the Caps (or Pens) as the 2 seed... Boston could slip to WC2

 

[surfzone365]

Huge clutch regulation win in the Gah-den! Needed this one badly. For any Canes fan onsite, savor it like I did last visit!

 

[Tryamw]

Our Magic number is 7? That doesn't seem right..

It's not.. 7 wins

 

[The Faulker 27]

However the chips fall its the f***ing east beast. Shit ain't gonna be easy.

 

[LakeLivin]

Anybody else notice that after the game while the rest of the team was congratulating Andersen, Aho was having a conversation with the ref? Aho gonna be the next Cane to wear the C after Staal gives it up.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Excellent win. Even the relatively slow start just kinda had me feeling like playoffs and playing a safe road game to start.

I remember when Seth Jarvis was solved by the league. He wasn't.

I remember when Jordo sucked ass and wasn't nearly what we needed anymore (I was in on this one). He is.

The late goals we've given up a fair amount stink, but at least we got the ENG and Freddie was still pretty good on the whole.

 

[HisIceness]

Hell yeah what a 3rd period! Big road W and gives the belief that the Rangers and MSG are no longer to be feared.

Wow, Rod in 2nd all-time coaching wins and in just his 4th season (and had a shortened season/Covid season to deal with too).

Also, as of right now we're +70 in the goal differential. Whoa

the bar is very low. It’s essentially Mo and f*** all.

I think I saw the ref motion him over but not sure.

Nah, just more evidence imo. I've seen what I believe are signs ever since they showed Aho on the bench during a game early in his rookie season diagramming a play to Staal; I'd have expected it the other way around.

 

[surfzone365]

I can’t have my post-victory Twinkie because I can’t find the box. Where tf is my box of Twinkies??

[Big Daddy Cane]

Nice bounceback game from Andersen. This team is not well equipped to overcome the soft goals he's given up recently. 2-1/3-2 + ENGs is the formula for this group.

 

[CanesUltimate11]

I consider myself a GIF connoisseur but this one might be my favorite

Watching this again, thankfully it happened in the second. First or third period and someone is off the bench early and we take a too many men penalty.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

We witnessed us surviving the first two periods and winning the 3rd / the game. How many times have we seen us as the first two periods team? I feel like it is a ton, especially those BP years. We are completely frustrated knowing we missed our opportunities in the first two periods.

I wanna see them match up with the Caps for the bloodbath that would be.

Columbus the Duchesene and Bread year?

 

[Stickpucker]

I'd think a lot of teams have something similar with the way a lot of coaches only get a season or two? (other than teams with dynasty type runs and 80 years of history)

Nah, just more evidence imo. I've seen what I believe are signs ever since they showed Aho on the bench during a game early in his rookie season diagramming a play to Staal; I'd have expected it the other way around.

One is the son of a sod farmer....the other a coach.....the answer may surprise you on the next episode of hockey bros.

This. I'm happy we should get home ice through out, but no matter who we get the match ups are tough in the east. Every. Single. Team.
