[periferal]

The Canes have 12 shots thus far.


That is amazing.

 

[Quickdraw2828]

We had two glorious chances. Brindamoan begging the refs to intervene

All of my hatred for other coaches is tied up in Jon Cooper and his punchable face

 

[Big L]

Barzal is being outplayed by Martin and Lee, not a good sign.

Dude, I usually agree with much of what you post, but your barzal shtick is reallly getting old. Give it a fvcking rest already. wtf

 

[MarsTBOW]

Barzy has been all thumbs so far. Has to shake that Funk out of his game in the 3RD!

 

[FourRings]

This is the best Lee performance in years.

Sorry, he had the go ahead goal on his stick. What happened?

 

[steveat]

Interesting ...I thought the Canes would be more dominant than this. They must be having a bad game?

I am also impressed on how the Isles have able to block so many Canes shot attempts. Great period 2 overall, but Andersen shutting the door was tough.

 

[Chardo]

I don't know the stats, but my eyes tell.me the Isles are significantly ahead in high danger chances.

They are not used to playing this way....
Hopefully it frustrates the living $hit outta them!!!!

Fatherhood agrees with him.

More importantly (and sadly) they are vastly behind in finishing those danger chances.

They will just dive more because they know this ref is in their pocket. Brindamoan (love that BTW) has been working his BFF all game to set it up.

The puck was fluttering not always easy to put a lot on it and shoot it accurately.

That is amazing.

Barry Trotz esque. The only negative is the score is tied.

 

[BelovedIsles]

Looks like they are going to grind this one out.

Would like to see Barzal control a shift with his puck protection and edge work. He’s been pedestrian.

 

[SI90]

Having a feeling the canes are going to come out fast and look to desperately get a goal in the first couple of minutes

 

[Throttle]

This is the best Lee performance in years.

He’s been excellent, no doubt.

 

[IslandersGER]

The Canes have 12 shots thus far.


That is amazing.

Guentzel, Necas, Aho, Teravainen zero shots on goal.
Now do the lucky punch against the Canes and steal game 1 for home ice

 

[PK Cronin]

Just win the f***ing period.

Is this not the goal of any NHL team to start the 3rd period?

Not necessarily. Some teams push some teams try to keep them at bay. We’re on the road so we’re most likely going to try and weather the storm. Grind it out.

 

[chico19341]

no early(or late) penalties!

LGI!!!

If we win this series it's going to be exactly that - A grind.

I'll be surprised anytime we have a 2-goal lead at any point in the 7 games.
