In fact, Jaccob Slavin is the only defenseman still playing who has been on for fewer goals against per 60. Slavin just so happens to be the only player whose Defensive Rating is higher than Schenn’s plus-1.8 during these playoffs.

Before the second round began I noted that a big problem against the Islanders was Carolina’s depth scoring. With Sebastian Aho on the ice, the team scored 4.9 goals per 60 at five-on-five, but without him that dropped to 1.1. Safe to say that hasn’t been a problem against the Devils.

In 48 minutes the Hurricanes have scored 3.8 goals per 60 with Aho on the ice in the second round, but without him they’ve scored 4.7 goals per 60 in 151 minutes. That’s night and day from Round 1. Thank Jordan Martinook for that first and foremost — he somehow has nine points against New Jersey with six coming at even strength.
this part too

7. Yes, Leon Draisaitl has a lot of goals in these playoffs and has the highest Offensive Rating of any player for that reason. But the highest Net Rating? That actually belongs to the aforementioned Jaccob Slavin. He may only have five points in 10 games, but no player has a larger 200-foot impact than Slavin who has been Carolina’s rock this postseason. With Slavin on the ice, the Hurricanes have earned 64 percent of the expected goals while outscoring teams 13-2 at five-on-five. The Hurricanes generate the second-most chances with him on the ice and allow the fourth-fewest goals against. In 27 short-handed minutes, the Hurricanes have outscored teams 2-1 with Slavin on the ice.

Slavin may not be the flashiest player, but his value to Carolina is immense. He’s the team’s MVP so far as the Hurricanes sit one win away from an appearance in the final four.

Right. Very good. Very good. Proper thrashing on the pitch.


They stole my joke.

Fancy a cup of tea, do you?

Fun fact: test cricket has tea breaks. A typical day's play is as follow's:

11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. - first session
1:00 p.m. to 1:40 p.m. - lunch break
1:40 p.m. to 3:40 p.m. - second session
3:40 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. - tea break
4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. - third session

JFC, every time a high-stick penalty call is called or missed on Main Boards, Devils fans come flying in with HUGHES GOT HIGH STICKED AND DREW BLOOD AND DIDN'T EVEN DRAW A 2 MIN PENALTY!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...ignoring it was self-inflicted of course...

Overall though they're still not as whiny as the Isles fans were about EVERY DAMN CALL (or non-call), but that's probably because these games haven't been 1-goal, really tight games so far.

Anyway, let's beat they @$$ at home and get a few days rest/recovery before facing FLA/TOR

Wait until there's a thread about every missed call during the SCF. Hope we're in it and we can mine salt.

You will listen to me! LISTEN! The other ships will still be looking to us, to the Black Pearl, to lead, and what will they see? Frightened bilgerats aboard a derelict ship? No, no they will see free men and freedom! And what the enemy will see, they will see the flash of our cannons, and they will hear the ringing of our swords, and they will know what we can do! By the sweat of our brow and the strength of our backs and the courage in our hearts! Gentlemen, hoist the colors!

My previous boss was a Brit. We used to make fun of each others "mannerisms".
