God bless Tripp for trying to speak something into existence.

Lack of scoring is what I thought would doom the Canes in round 2 verse the Rangers. That was my prediction but I was wrong on that.

Our entire offensive scheme is so unbelievably f***ed. It's a testament to how bad NJ's defense was that we smoked them like we did, but holy shit do we rely way, way too much on grinding out goals in this high skilled league
I think it's the best goaltending I have ever seen. Started watching in 2001.
I've been purposely counting and it's been 6-7 times the red has been in our way in the last 2 games and I have yet to see them do that to the Panthers once.

Especially when we really don't have the grinders anymore
Probably not good that Kotkaniemi has been our most notable offensive player this period...

Id bench Necas. He looks completely lost and clueless.

Most fascinating is that it is completely in sync with the crappy defensemen…
One of my favourite aspects about visiting this Board is your willingness to compliment the opponent, even when you’re upset with them.
It’s also why I think the Hockey gods/goddesses should shine down upon your Team
We need this game so bad…. Let’s go canes… just one to start

Brindy had them so hell bent on being a defensive team that they play defensive hockey even when they are pinning a team back in the offensive zone. Just a real lack of attack ability, they will pump shots from the boards and blue line hoping for a deflection, but they rarely if ever drive the net, because of the chance they might give up a break against.
Florida's D has been excellent this series. Full kudos to them. But I'll also say in the same breath 80% of that D is Bob. He's made at least 5 straight up highway robbery saves tonight.

K i'm ready to go out and get an actual star player. The squad of "pretty goods" seems to only get you to consistent playoff choke-outs.

Shooting 1% since game 1 period 3* is really not good. But we knew they needed offense

That spill from Necas sums up the playoffs for him

Is Necas just still a young player or is he soft?

He's soft. Jarvis is younger and takes it to players.

Actually their D is made of 4 pylons…but they deflect and block shots which then hit Bob or the post or the glas.
Watch Dallas…they have a good D and the 2nd best goalie…but they have very unlucky bounces.
Florida doesn’t get unlucky bounces.
Okay…and Barkov handled mostly the biggest scoring threat…ask Matthews.
