When even Biz is calling it out...

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.

The Whalers never had an NHL playoff hat trick.

For whatever it's worth, Tripp and Adam Gold independently mentioned that they thought Burns had a very good game today.

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.

That’s a sign of a team that has learned how to win.

The other sign is a team that gets goals to put it away.

Today they got both.

They also jumped early on a team with obviously tired legs and put 3 goals on them before they got going. That's something we have struggled with in the past

That’s playoff hockey. Freddie is made of glass.

 

[Peterpuck7810]

Devils wouldnt have much of a roster without ex Canes..

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Love that mentality.

 

[mikeyfan]

I thought we brought in Carrier to handle the likes of a Timo Meyer in the playoffs, and he has yet been heard from. I’d rather have Roslovic playing at least he can put the puck in the net

He's throwing lots of hits but less so since game 2

Whatever you think about Burns and his ups and downs, there's no one in the league that deserves a Stanley Cup more than him. I want a Ray Bourque moment this year.

 

[MyLuckyPuck]

Love that mentality.

Where’s this guy been?

 

[Tryamw]

Where’s this guy been?

Mars... not sure why but he didn't take the left turn at Albuquerque

 

[Borsig]

This pic of the bench's befuddled responses to the no call would be almost funny under different circumstances.

Someone needs to studio gibhi this or AI it into some kinda of renisance painting.

 

[Borsig]

The one if any positive from the Andersen thing is he seemed to skate off mostly OK

 

[Sigurd]

They should dress nikishin with the sole objective to annihilate Meier

ON THE LORD'S DAY, BABY!

You know Timo was on some bullshit when the announcers are agreeing with us and they have been riding NJs dick the whole series.

Yeah, things are pretty bad when even they point it out.

Lol, we’re gonna have a different gametime for every game this series and none were 7PM:

Game 1 was 3PM
Game 2 was 6PM
Game 3 was 8PM
Game 4 was 3:30PM
Game 5 is 7:30PM

In other words, it's a clown show.

 

[Stickpucker]

Love that mentality.

That's a good sound byte but I haven't seen Svech do anything dirty or nasty?

He must have a mean repertoire of your momma jokes.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

I can't remember if Mike or Tripp mentioned it, but going into tonight, Svech was tied for fifth all time in Canes/Whalers players for playoff points with Brindy at 38. With the hat trick tonight, he leapfrogged Ron Francis and Teuvo Teravainen (both at 39), and ends up third all time, only 2 points back of Eric Staal. Obviously Aho is first, he's got 75.

Also of note is Jaccob Slavin with a staggering +36 in 75 playoff games while skating north of 25 minutes a night. He's also only got 10 PIMs in those games, good for 0.13 penalties/60, which is so low I have a hard time putting it into context. Just to pick another random defenseman out of a hat, Gostisbehere has 0.69 penalties/60.


These is the times, boys and girls.

That ends up being 1 PIM every 7.5 games, or 1 penalty (2 min) every 15GP...and I remember some of those were baffling calls. Like you know you f***ed up when you call a penalty on Slavin

Was one of his playoff penalties the incorrectly called dogpog in gm 7 ot vs the caps?

I have a vague memory of him getting a dogpog so my brain assumes it was the one that was incorrect.

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

ACCEPTABLE.

EXCEPT THE INJURY.

 

[Ryder71]

Just gotta say, that goal by Slavin is one of the greatest individual plays I've seen in over 45 years! Congrats to the Canes.

I think it was Dougie who got the dogpog in the OT of that game.

It was all the practice he had from the All Star game a few years ago.

Notes:

Burns was 4th among defenseman on the canes for TOI. Did those help him to be more effective?

KK was last among forwards, is he hurt or working through something?
