GDT: ECQF Game 5 | Hurricanes (Smackdown) vs Islanders (Raw), 7PM | Is this when the Islanders tap out?

[3CanesInTheBox]

Let's be honest, after we got our PPG overturned we basically look like we've just phoned it in ever since

Necas brain-fail into an Isles goal was the turning point. Felt like we were building something before that

 

[VAcaniac]

Necas has been playing REAL stupid this entire playoffs. He thinks he's McDavid, playing 1 on 4-5, turning pucks over and now it's costing us.

Its like the textbook definition of less is more sometimes. Hes trying to do way too much and gets way too aggressive when he feels the momentum shifting.

 

[User13452]

Seen this before with Necas when he’s going he’s playing well when hes not every aspect of his game is a mess and he doesn’t contribute at all

 

[Kat Predator]

Neither commentator has any idea what’s going on lol

"It's a big hit on Aho... and on Noesen too!"

 

[Summer Rose]

OK, I've only watched playoffs in recent years, not much regular season. Used to watch every broadcast game year-round for years, and stopped around 2013. Can someone explain to me exactly when a goal on a 4-on-4 no longer released a player from the box for the victimized team? That rule change seems like such BS

I've watched hockey since 2001-02 and don't recall a 4 on 4 goal ever terminating a penalty.

 

[skipnjump]

I'm going to watch something else. Maybe they will do better

It has always been like that. It's an even strength goal. You only get a player back if the opposing team scores on the powerplay, as long as it's not a major penalty.

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

Welp, hoping for another 3rd period comeback, but prepared to be watching the boys on the Island in a few days

I don't recall that ever being a thing

 

[Antonymous]

Maybe I was drinking too much back then to remember 4on4's counting as even strength. Still seems like a bad rule to me, idk.

The only thing they could build is a good case of Hemmeroids.

He has 2 goals in the last 19(?) games. Been a completely different person since Svech went down.

 

[Joe McGrath]

So how did the Canes end up with only one guy back? Who screwed up on that to allow the 2 on 1 goal?

Since it’s 4 on 4 the D are more active. Slavin was out wide giving Necas an outlet to pass it to but Necas decided to dangle 3 guys and lost the puck instead.

 

[The Faulker 27]

Well, regardless of the Necas turning the puck over, we just haven't had any puck luck tonight and Raanta seems to be battling through something, yet again. Not that I blame him for any of the goals but his body language isn't screaming game stealing save right now.

 

[Stickpucker]

Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the Gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?

Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn
And I dream of what I need

I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero
'Til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

 

[Antonymous]

Where are you my double stacked king? Where is that special sauce, your golden sesame seed bun? Where have you gone, my Big Mac?

Crummy to see your Boys down, but they’ve shown the ability to come back several times this year.

I know you’re banged up, but you still have some players who can make this happen.

Just another guy saying this was never a rule. Penalties only terminate on non-major power plays. It has been that way since the 1950s when the idea of terminating a penalty was introduced.

 

[Canes]

Maybe I was drinking too much back then to remember 4on4's counting as even strength. Still seems like a bad rule to me, idk.

If you get scored on on a 4 on 4, the opposing team had zero advantage since both teams had the same amount of skaters on the ice. Not sure how that's a bad rule.

10-4.. thanks

 

[Stickpucker]

The boys got 2 posts and an offside goal. Just like someone's hot wife always told us....it's a game of inches.

Yep, back in an alternate universe where the Canes Habs powerplay was too good they had to change the rule.

It's worth noting that almost immediately after this in the movie, Jonah Hill gets r*ped by Satan and becomes his vessel. So, make of that what you will.

I know. He’s also not getting much help KK has been a ghost and martinook is martinook

New off-topic intermission question: what's everyone drinking now?

Still Black Box merlot for me.
