GDT: ECSF - Game 3: Carolina Hurricanes vs New York Rangers, 7pm ET, TNT

Dam those jerks finally playing well.

 

[SnS]

Pretty good game if you're a neutral. Both teams putting it all out there

It’s truly a treat. I love playoff hockey. Too bad the Flyers can’t look like either of these teams.

Is it me or has Trouba been a turnover machine this series?

You meant career right?

 

[Grifter3511]

Canes goalie looks like a big fellow. That's half the battle.

I agree. But he's apparently an inch shorter and significantly lighter than Andersen.

He has been awful.

 

[Rsswmu]

There's a difference between a goalie covering the puck in the crease and a goalie going behind the net to play the puck then trying to lean into a guy going by him. Yea he tripped him, Igor leaned into him also to make contact. It was a two minute minor.

Wasn’t in the crease, puck wasn’t covered. For a guy that played that you would be more ok with what Svech did is insane.

rangers hanging in there. No doubt Carolina the better squad last two games, but the rangers are doing what they have to do

 

[robertocarlos]

Canes still have one big problem. Who is going to score their goals?

I'm not okay with it. I thought it was a penalty. I don't think penalties are legal plays.

But Igor wanted some contact and he got it.

Relax. Flyers are getting better

Ridiculous take that invalidates anything you say from here on. Just awful.

 

[SnS]

No, no they aren’t. But it’s okay. They couldn’t hold a candle to either of these teams.

I think it's ridiculous that your goalie leaned into a skater and you seethe about it.


Edit:

My take immediately after it happened

GDT: - ECSF: Game 2 - New York Rangers vs Carolina Hurricanes, 7pm ET, ESPN

That’s a classic pitchfork. Players stopped doing that in the 80s. Should be 5 and a game

The mascot is pretty sweet though.

 

[WhereO Is Kakko]

On the one hand, expected this major push from the Canes.

OTOH, not impressed at all with Rangers letting CheckNikov running wild and pillaging them all over the ice.

Line 1 invisible as scripted.

 

[NorthStar4Canes]

He hasn't even remotely paid for attempting to take our goalie out at the knee. P.O.S.

Just how many are on this "gonna pay" list now? It's such a frightening concept

You're on the list pal.

You're on the list pal.

Awesome

Igor didn’t move. What play is Svech making there? He moves his stick in between the goalies leg. He knew what he was doing and he was trying at minimum trying to shake up the goalie, knowing he could injury him. I would have been throwing hands if I was on the ice.

You got it dude. Igor didn't look at him and lean his shoulder at all. Svech tried to kill him. I'm convinced.

You'll never convince the guy. He's determined to believe that Igor is willing to risk a serious injury because he "wanted contact" or some other weird as hell reason.

He was so close to getting SUCH a big booboo.

What benefit happens for Igor for looking for contact? He draws a penalty either way. What is Svech doing what play is he making? You never played. No goalie is looking to get hurt and gain 0 benefit.

Look at his glove arm

Enjoy the game guys.
