If you've watched us play a road playoff game in any of the last 3 seasons, you understand why people don't have much faith in the team turning this shit around anytime soon.

Yeah- this is the same playbook on the Canes every time. Canes starting to look like they are winning?? Time to brutalize them. OMG we are getting brutalized? Retaliate, get penalized, give up goal, mentally quit.

Boston did it twice, Tampa once, now Raga figure it out.

2019: beat Washington in Game 7 in Washington, swept the Islanders, lost to Boston in 4
2020: bubble
2021: beat nashville in game 6 to win series, both Nashville wins were in OT, buzzsawed by Tampa 4-1, only win was in Tampa.
 
Then the star powered Rangers have just the same rated players as the Canes per Shayna. So….
The Rags have a two way perennial Norris contender, and he's scored 1g 1a in this game so far.

They also have Panarin, who is better than any Canes forward, but he's sucked this series so good on the Canes for keeping him at bay.
 
the Canes Forwards as a whole aren't getting it done.. especially on the road.

I mean to be fair, they're barely getting it done at home right now, too.

That stretch of Game 7 vs Washington and Game 1 and 2 vs NYI were really the only time we've been able to consistently go toe to toe on the road. That Boston series broke us and showed the world how to handle us on the road.

That Nashville series had no business going 6. The fact that Game 3 and 4 both went to 2OT off of some absolute horrendously stupid play of our own accord is proof enough. In fact, Game 6 shouldn't have even gone to OT, either. And then Tampa happened where we had a 3 goal lead in the 2nd period with a chance to bring the series back home tied, and we absolutely collapsed. One of the worst collapses we've been a part of since the game where Florida kept us out of the playoffs in I want to say 2010? And then the Boston series this year happened, and now the NYR series is happening as well.

For every 1 game we've looked good in the playoffs the last 4 years we have 2 or 3 where we just completely shit ourselves. You can't win like this, and its such a consistent problem now that its effectively part of our playoff identity under Brind'Amour. Tough at home, dogshit to the point of complete mental meltdown on the road. There's really no way to argue that it isn't who we are.
 
Frustrating period for sure. But damn some shit ass trash talk on our team from a bunch of you all. There’s an intermission, there’s 40 minutes left. This team can still turn this game around. You suck as a fan if you turned this game off.
Yeah I’m not writing tonight off. This team hasn’t looked great but 40 minutes of play down 2, come on, who the hell would think we have zero shot at that?
 
Ok… I just put on my signed aho third jersey that’s never been off it’s hanger…. I’m doing my part for the rally… canes better get their shit together
I have a signed Aho regular home jersey that hasn’t come out of the box and wasn’t going to until I get a frame for the man cave. May have to do the same shortly...
 
i don't like to brag, but i can be mad at the team for playing like shit and the refs for compounding the shittiness.

i thought the trip on jarvis was just a dude skating a straight line and incidental. even if i call the trouba hit borderline, well, if they interviewed domi between periods and he said he was going to run the goalie and then he did it with a ranger borderline riding him in i'd expect him to get called...

oh well. get one back per period then break their hearts, please.
