On the winning goal, Orlov got the assist but did not get the +1! Everyone’s favorite (Burns) jumped on the ice right on time to get the +1. #clutch#

oh my , stuffed them in their house in front of their fans .
That’s how you send a message!
Now leave no doubt.

The Caps were relatively mild last night. I suspect an uptick in physicality for game 2. They basically did nothing to stop us from getting to our game and taking ton of shots (shot attempts ).

Maybe all they needed was to get Ovie the record. Time for golf?

Canes better have their collective heads on a swivel Thursday night for sure…

I was being a bit facetious with the above post. Yeah, Dey gonna be bad mad.

BTW, is Chatfield good or what? Another solid 21 minutes yesterday, always good aggressive plays to close gaps.

Still signed for two more years at 3M$... great development, great contract. He has become a personal favorite for me. Hopefully he will get some national recognition as we move along in these playoffs.

Well that was fun! Let's do it again!

 

[Blueline Bomber]

I mean, that’s objectively hilarious.

Yeah as much as I think he is a goon (that can score) and I don't like a lot of his game that was really funny. The fact that is was Aho after the game late in the season made it even better.

Absolute snoozer of a goal to end an absolute snoozer of a game

Yes, there wasn't a ton of goals. However, Carolina dominated the caps in all facets and I love watching that. We even outhit them, which is surprising with how much we had the puck.

 

[CanesFanBudMan]

Playing like that really wears down the other team. Keep the pressure on

I had a similar thought, he had a ton of really smart and aggressive pinches that really helped sustain o zone possession and momentum. He has the tools to be a successful reactive defender so he’s not afraid to push at times, and he confidently and consistently makes recovery plays if and when he gets burned.

Absolute snoozer of a goal to end an absolute snoozer of a game

Definitely the weirdest immediate reaction to a playoff OT game-winning goal I've ever seeen. Goal goes in - everybody stands there for a moment like it got deflected into the stands - then finally Stall puts his arms up with everyone else in the picture just standing there with no reaction - and utter silence in the arena

It is f***ing hilarious...should also pretty easily be an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty (seriously, Aho probably has to douse that thing with alcohol after Wilson did who knows what with it)

For all the hand-wringing around Gustav Forsling (who WASN'T what he is now when he was playing for us/Charlotte)...we ended up doing the same to Vancouver with Chatmandu! His skating helps him immensely so when he does make a boo-boo, he can often get back to cover for it (unlike Burns). I think he's genuinely developed into a solid overall #4 d-man

For real I don’t see how that isn’t a penalty but there is precedent just like Marchand undoing Williams helmet back in the bubble which also wasn’t called. It makes no sense to me how that’s allowed but good on aho for completely not engaging in his dumbassery

 

[hockeynjune]

Aho doing Dad things now.

 

[Unhinged Finn]

If the Canes advance from this series, Aho should slip a mouthguard to his hand during the handshake line.

I believe that falls under the “boys being boys” exception in the rule book.

Franzen’s was better

Me sleeping after winning game 1 and after reading the disappointment of HFpeople who expected a better match than they imagined.

The main board discourse is an interesting case study in sports psychology. What makes you feel better the morning after:

Playing like ass and getting blown out
Playing like ass and losing a close one
Playing like ass and winning
Playing great and losing
Playing great and winning a close one
Playing great and winning a blowout

yeah, game 2's have had some destructive hockey + Carbury called out his team's physicality.....I suspect an out of control game.

I hope Janky had just a virus and can come back on Thursday versus putting in JR. Need his size.

 

[baconandbread]

I know RBA won't do it but it would be the perfect time to unleash the Boom. They're playing with house money and definitely the Crapitals are going to be at their very worst
