Varly had some bad positioning in the last game that allowed at least on of our goals

I believe after the Jarvis goal, he even indicates to his defensemen in a manner of "That was on me"
Yup I always liked rotating them as an option but I know that is pretty unconventional.

So based on the UBS arena schedule there is nothing going on tonight there. I just don’t get why the 2 day break if they have nothing going on.

I don't have a problem with one 2 day break but having another one between games 4 and (if necessary) 5 is pretty absurd. Especially after we had to wait nearly a week between the end of regular season and game 1.
They needed more time to fire proof Borrelli's.

I think earlier when the schedule was announced, it was assumed to have to do with an extra day for travel. Since the series that don't have that extra day between games 2 & 3 are relatively close (like the Tampa/Florida series)
But that doesn’t make much sense when you look at Boston and Toronto going tonight. Practically the same flight times with the flight to Toronto being 15 minutes longer and having to clear customs.

I believe we've got pretty good numbers against Sorokin in his career.
Schedule is different for sure, but I prefer random extra time to random lessened time. Remember in '19 when he had the possiblity of a BACK TO BACK playoff game against the Fish? lol
Also we did have to run 5 d for a while and have to onboard TDA, so probably a good thing.

We'll bounce back
Oh I'd love this but had to return to the mnts tonight.
Earlier today we had a special event at the office in Cary and some Canes jerseys were spotted.
That’s what I’m saying. Sorry but I’m not trying to beat a dead horse here. Just bothers me is all. Let’s not have the playoffs drag out until June 30th. All the teams fly charter with full catering. Not like they are flying commercial and are waiting for connections and eating peanuts on the planes.
In the finals I can see the extra day for travel going back and forth east to west. But for eastern conference there is no point.
Also last complaint: as a Canadian, no one cares if a Canadian team (looking at you Toronto) isn’t playing on Saturday night. People will still watch in Canada if they play on a Friday or a Sunday.
End rant.

people filming themselves instead of just taking in the moment will forever bewilder me.

OTOH, thanks to a back to back in 2020 and a best of 5 preliminary round, we have the record for the fastest series win in NHL history in actual elapsed time.

Is the extra day of rest really that big of a deal? Seems like a gift this time of year.

Tonight's game Is key IMO win this and we sweep.....
Sorokin had god awful rebound control this season and gave up over 3 goals a game.... I think him starting plays into the Canes hand... weather whatever they try in the first ten minutes and score and they go Goon early.

Canes need a smart game from TDA tonight. Just don't give away goals and chances to a team whose offense is only generated from counter punching.
Do they go Kochetkov tonight? Part of me thinks they might but then again why change anything

I think they stick with Freddie. Save Koochie for when he's actually needed. Freddie's stats last game were terrible obviously but his performance really wasn't that bad and we can certainly win this series with him.
Pyotr seems to need work to get his best.....I'm Ok with him playing tonight and then going back to Freddie for game 4.

Canes lost game 3 with Sorokin in net last year. Hopefully, they can avoid a repeat.
