There's no doubt we'll want the games to play out closer to these two games in style and not let them get it going. It's just hard to say how it'll go when both teams are in playoff mode. Pretty laughable for Mike and Tripp to talk about playoff mode from like three hits.
And yes, Jarvis is not in a good place right now. They really probably should demote him for a while, especially now that they've switched up so many lines.

The canes played a great first 30 minutes, then tried to go head to head with the rags, and face it, they have more skillz. After the first rags goal, they just couldn’t get their forecheck going and the rags made them pay.
probably poolparty’s best game as a cane so far, that said, he is still slower than anyone else on the ice. Really bad game from Jarvis, could have had several goals but he just fought the puck all night.

To be fair, almost everything Mike and Tripp have been saying lately reeks of trying to put lipstick on the pig since Svech went out. Seems like they've ramped up the rhetoric to a new level.

It’s a lot harder when the Canes have 12.
So he’s gonna go off next year? Sweet!

I understand the circumstances. Just 6 points isn’t way behind in the standings

Sorry everyone my GDT powers could only go so far.
But it appears we clinched our playoff spot tonight so that's cool.

In a league where 3 point games are very common, 6 points is very much way behind.

NYR vs CAR, quality vs quantity. The Rangers are way more selective with their shots and they’ve got the skill to play that way. Hurricanes just throwing everything at the net, spray and pray baby. Somebody needs to work up a good photo shop of all the Hurricanes players gangsta grippin MAC-10’s and gold plated AK’s.
I’d say a 7 game series between these two teams is probably 50/50, maybe slight edge to NYR just on pure star power. This real test is if the Rangers suddenly match the Canes work ethic and forechecking intensity when the playoffs start. If they end up playing each other.
They’ve got to get Shesterkin moving side to side, much like Vasi he’s phenomenal playing straight on.

We'll bounce back
I will take the blame. I wore a new t-shirt. It was 83 degrees so I gave it a shot. Overall a rather congenial loss

While that’s true, our next three games are Toronto, Boston and Tampa Bay. An 0-3 record in those games wouldn’t be a surprise. The Rangers next three games are Florida, Columbus and Jersey. A 3-0 record in those games wouldn’t be a surprise.
Just like that, the 6 point lead is gone.

So it wouldn’t be surprising for the Canes to lose 4 games in a row in regulation, something they haven’t done since 2019?

Also, because of the games in hand, we play Detroit the night they are erasing this deficit, yeah? And even if we lose that then I suppose we're ahead because of an additional game in hand. Man, I'm super worried about this scenario that just ain't gonna happen.
Lol If we need a team to worry about we don’t have to get creative. Jersey is RIGHT THERE. My worse fear was getting swept by the Rongos and losing ground to Jersey. The race for the division is still in our grasps if we stay the course.

Yeah. I still think we'll stay ahead of Jersey but it's much more realistic to fall behind them.

You would think if those NY shit stains loved it so much up there that they would never want to leave instead of mass migrating to Cary. My only guess is that they were ran out of town by the locals up there for what clearly is world record levels of bad vibes.
