[Joe McGrath]

Our top players are invisible. And it's been like that on the road the last 4 years in the playoffs. Second change should completely neutralize everything we want to do

Maybe Aho isn’t really that good? Or not as good as Bergeron or Point or the other top centers in the league?

Maybe Aho isn’t really that good? Or not as good as Bergeron or Point or the other top centers in the league?

I mean, it's probably time to have that conversation. It's not like this is the first time he's been completely taken out of the game against a top tier opponent in the playoffs.

 

[Lucky Lindy]

Brady Skjei’s last 16 playoff games for Carolina:
0g 0a (0 points) -3 +/-

That one surprised me.

E: And no, I don't blame Skjei or so. But no points in sixteen games as a top-4 defender is something.

 

[Unhinged Finn]

That game sucked too. Next.

Get your shit together and win. I prefer winning over whatever these last games were.

 

[Tryamw]

2 of 22 on the PP vs 5 for 22.

 

[chaz4hockey]

Well, I like to generalize.

And I’ve trained soldiers from literally ever country in Europe both NATO and non-NATO so familiar with them.

USMC and traveled throughout the world too (well before your time I suspect).

Maybe Aho isn’t really that good? Or not as good as Bergeron or Point or the other top centers in the league?

Maybe not as good as Elias Lindholm?

 

[Daeavorn]

I think its time to trade Turbo. He doesnt exactly have a great attitude. Doesnt like to practice, maybe he is a dampening presence on the team?

 

[Canes]

Brady Skjei’s last 16 playoff games for Carolina:
0g 0a (0 points) -3 +/-

That one surprised me.

He's basically a replacement level player that can skate well. He'd probably get roasted without a guy like Pesce babysitting him.

I got into an argument with my husband and missed the game. Moral of the story: don't get into an argument with your husband on a game day.

 

[Canes]

Flames fans will probably turn on Lindy if they get upset by Dallas, so everyone hates everyone when their team loses

You didn’t miss anything

I seem to think it has somthjng to do with how bad their ice is, combine that with spending a full period of hockey on the PK (almost the exact same unit as the PP) and you have the ingredients for a gassed and sloppy pp.

Today it was a good thing... (Missing the game) Sorry about the fight

Now if only more women would get this.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

He cross checked a guy in the face and then acted like a 5 year old having a tantrum.

I’ll have to check a replay but my point stands about them taking liberties with him away from the play. And the booing started from the first time he held the puck in game 3, had nothing to do with that crosscheck.

Especially considering he was top 10 among D men in 5v5 points this year

 

[Wolfpuck]

Sheesh.

Hopefully home cooking sets their heads straight.

 

[spockBokk]

Aho and Svechnikov have to be the Canes’ best. Marchand, Pasternak and Bergeron have been the best Bruins. It’s really that simple.

That, and stay out the box…geez.

Hasn't Turbo been one of our best playoff preformers?

I did notice a few games ago, NYR I believe. Hurricanes had a two goal lead, timeout was called, Timmy drew up a defensive play and the opposing team immediately scored off the faceoff with a set play. They cut away from it pretty quick but Turbo was staring down Gleason big time, had a total look of disgust on his face.

Turbo is also maybe a little pissy because he's not been playing with Aho lately? Either way, imo Turbo is the least of their problems.

 

[Summer Rose]

Now if only more women would get this.

My husband and I met because of sports. Game time is sacred. If we're not watching a game together, then we definitely don't interrupt the other trying to watch their game.

(For the record, I'm the one who started the argument, so I have only myself to blame.)

 

[HisIceness]

Very disappointed in this team this weekend.

 

[StorminSnvechnAho]

2 of 22 on the PP vs 5 for 22.

I'd pretty much call it 1-22 and 2-22, can't really fault a PK for killing off all but moments of a 5-3.

 

[Stickpucker]

you might be glad you missed this one. hope all is well.

disappointing last 23 minutes.

not much else you can say.

 

[The Faulker 27]

It's a 7 game series for a reason I suppose. I expected more from this team today, and was disappointed. I guess I should level my expectations moving forward. We are a better 5v5 team. Hopefully, Rod and team figure out how to stay out of the box moving forward.

 

[bleedgreen]

I mean, it's probably time to have that conversation. It's not like this is the first time he's been completely taken out of the game against a top tier opponent in the playoffs.

I think it’s probably more of an off season conversation. I to be honest have felt this way the whole time, but not to an extreme. I think he just needs more help and would be best utilized as a 1a/1b kind of top center. I think he’s one of the better centers in the league but not “elite”, and as such shouldn’t be counted on to put the team on his shoulders. I think Trocheck has nearly given us that level of help these last couple of years and will be pretty sorely missed. JK has not shown anything to suggest he’s that level yet.

We need a couple of more top line guys or for Svech and Jarvis to have a whole next level. Or Necas for that matter. I could see us swapping out Necas or even TT for someone more straight line and strong like a Boeser.

Or it’s all overreaction, we’re probably gonna win out the series and go two or three more rounds with Aho leading the way and shutting all that up. Equally possible at this point.
