Logon (Ray Whitney clone) Stankoven.
Loved Ray Whitney on the Coyotes. The Wizard!

I can’t remember a playoff game that seemed more like a regular season ho hum win.
They're great to get, aren't they? Especially when you get 16 of them in the same yet.

The Markstrom phenomenon is why I’ve been perpetually skeptical of anyone who says we need to “fix” the goaltending.
He’s… fine. His year was as good as Freddie’s. He’s a guy a lot of folks here would’ve qualified as “fixing the goaltending.”
Any goalie can collapse in the playoffs. I’m not saying bring Freddie back (nor am I saying don’t bring Freddie back), but whatever we do to “fix” the goaltending should be low impact to our asset base and cap situation. Goalies are just too much of a wildcard to go all in on one guy.

Hidden benefit to the win for some of us: we're spared all the negativity we see in a Canes GDT after a loss!

I miss Logan Thompson even more
Just finished watching on delay.
AMAZING all around effort. Just like I expected.
And, Marky injuring his own player while trying to take out my baby, Svech?

Made it down for this one. Kick ass game. I thought they'd be able to find the level they needed to even after the lackluster finish but that was outstanding.

The way that the Canes will probably use their cap space is 2C and either Marner, Ehlers/Boeser, or a 1RD. I think that 1RD will likely go to Morrow, but if no scoring upgrades are available for a fair price, maybe they'll go for a top RD instead. There are many ways that they can use their cap load.

So other than the super soft goal freddie looked ok. I didnt see too many super tough saves. A couple? We really held them off of many shots for a while until the 3rd.

Devils GDT as delightful as you would expect. They really hate the Canes and Canes fans. Almost as much as they hate the Devils.

yeah I've been saying this for years. Binnington is a great example too of the opposite, dude has had like 3 insane playoff runs now, 1 ending in a cup, and yet he's a pretty damn bad/inconsistent regular season goalie for the most part and someone nobody would claim is a "fix."
There are a small handful of truly elite top tier consistent goalies like Vasi, Igor, Sorokin, Helle, and that's pretty much it. Even Bob has definitely not lived up to that contract despite the cup runs, that team is just loaded all around.

I mean the Devils have been the Canes bitch for what 20 years now?

Even among those four, Helle has a pretty noted history of post season flameouts even if he's been THE reason they got there more than once

LOL at the Jersey GDT.
"they're so stupid down there" With Raleigh "locations" in their profiles.
STOP MOVING HERE THEN YOU f***S. Can't you feel the disdain any time we seee you eating your stupid pork rolls over in Wake.

Do we really need to bring comments from the Jersey GDT over here?
