Svech seemed fed up with regular season hockey in an interview earlier in the season. I guess all the injuries play a part in it. He wants to win in the playoffs for sure.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

The usual scape goats were the best players in the game. Burns, Svech were the best players in the game. Honorable mention for Koochie was pretty good once he let in the softie

I disagree that Burns was one of the best players in the game.

 

[WreckingCrew]

Seriously though, up 3-1 back home, play Nikishin. See if he's up to NHL snuff in a low-pressure game where you control the matchups. Plus he'll want to make his presence known and hopefully blow-up Meier, Markstrom, or one of their stars

 

[WreckingCrew]

I disagree that Burns was one of the best players in the game.

He was certainly one of our 20 players that got ice time...

Seriously, he has to have the leagues WORST shot attempt to SOG ratio

 

[tarheelhockey]

I believed in ‘em all along.

 

[Ole Gil]

Canes really put on a masterclass in running out the clock.

Up 1, NJ playoff lives pretty much on the line, backup goalie in, 7 shots against in the 3rd and 0 penalties. Nothing particularly dangerous on net.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Several Canes took that personally.

 

[Derailed75]

I disagree that Burns was one of the best players in the game.

Past game bias, he was really good. Good stick play, was gapping up, the shot on Nookies goal. I mean you can think he wasn't good but you would be wrong

 

[Joe McGrath]

Honestly I thought Burns was the best of the RHD today. Wasn’t a high bar because Chatty looked rough and Walker is usually fine at best.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

Dom L has spoken. I'll eat crow, Burns played well when we needed him to

 

[HisIceness]

Just got home from youth group. Very happy to see the result, I hope Kotchekov found his groove in relief of Freddie who I do hope is okay.

I'm really happy for Svechnikov. We've been wanting him to be a beast in the playoffs and so far he's been our best skater it seems. Playoff hat tricks aren't common for this team and he's got I think the only two in Hurricanes history (don't know about Whalers, need @sabremike to clarify)

Good road playoff win. Please close this out on Tuesday night.

As others have said, game 5 should be the debut for Nikishin…. We are up 3-1, we could easily go 11-7 if we wanted to be even more conservative. But no better scenario to bring him in with the crowd backing him with us controlling the last change in our building…. Gotta find out at some point if he can do it before we go much further in the rounds…. His physicality alone could be very useful in counteracting any kind of push we might see from them…

These charts are very scoring results oriented, moreso than typical fancy stat stuff. See how it says Jarvis was the worst defensive player on the ice? I’m gonna go ahead and guess he, Hall, Kotkaniemi, Orlov, and Chatfield were on the ice for the same goal against.

I’m not going to deny that Burns, you know, scored a goal. Nor that he played better than he’s played previously in this series. But there was still a lot of failed clearances, missed reads, etc., that don’t show up in these Dom charts and won’t reflect poorly unless they come back to bite you with a goal against.

These are the same charts that were used to shit all over Burns last game. And it matches my eye test on the Chatty/Orlov pair today.

Anyone know what kind of system they played in Russia. The Canes ask for a lot from their dmen, with the man to man and play at the blue line and everything else.

Have they practiced with him yet?

It was wrong then and it’s wrong now. Matches my eye test of Orlov and Chatty too, but only incidentally.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Chatfield definitely had a rough game. That pairing simply could NOT clear the zone all game. And, of course, facing the wrong direction of the play... twice...on the first goal against was a terrible look for Chatty

They are xG oriented.

SKA specifically played a lot of the same system we play…. They adopted a lot of the canes stuff for their team… both with our scout being on their staff and with former players TDA and Kuzie showing them.

Yes he has practiced a few times now with the team…. Not as much as regular season as we are resting guys between playoff games but we have had 3 full practices and probably dozens of video meeting with him…

 

[Ole Gil]

Yup. If Burns was bad, there would have been scoring chances. I only remember that one. No breakaways. No back doors. Just that one good goal early, and the silly goal. And a bunch of point shots and bad angle wristers.

Can't think of an impressive save this game from the Canes goalies, because there were none to be made. They really locked it down.

Nobody managed to get a hatty for the Whalers, lots of two goal games, but Svech has the only two playoff hat tricks in franchise history.

 

[Peterpuck7810]

Impressive win!!. this team for once shows up for a road game. Any updates on Freddy?? If it concussion id think pk starts the next game.

 

[baconandbread]

New Jersey? That's just the name for the toll road between Philadelphia and New York, right?

The scientific name for New Jersey is the perineum, I believe

They adopted our system and were a first round out?

Oof

Aren't they a big budget team?

 

[CanesUltimate11]

We need to start running f***ing Marky

Meier barely touched and he lowered the shoulder into Freddie...refs f***ing suck there's been 15+ blatant GI

In this case I say no, Svech for sure and probably others are in his head. Let him stew.
