GDT: SAUNAMEN @ rags' dusty shoeshine stand

[MinJaBen]

Staal’s Selke nomination is looking a bit foolish right now.

 

[Brock Anton]

Typical Canes road meltdown. It’s coaching at this point.

 

[dogbazinho]

How was this team not ready to start this game?

4 fning clock.

 

[Borsig]

yep. we f***ed.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

we're still gonna win this.

 

[dogbazinho]

Staal’s Selke nomination is looking a bit foolish right now.

He's slowed from his usual snail pace and his faceoffs are declining.

 

[MustardStew]

How was this team not ready to start this game?

read "New York..." and stopped...

 

[Stickpucker]

Svech needs to be big this series

 

[Lucky Lindy]

Time for the stars to show up.

 

[AD Skinner]

Let’s see kochetkov to start the second

 

[Stickpucker]

2 posts loom large or thick?

 

[Joe McGrath]

We suck. We absolutely suck right now.

 

[Summer Rose]

That period sucked.

 

[VAcaniac]

We’re 1-6 in game 1s on the road since 2009, and outscored 24-12…

Saw this start coming a mile away.

 

[cptjeff]

Let’s see kochetkov to start the second

Agreed. I don't care what the circumstances are, 3 goals on 7 shots is unacceptable.

 

[Stickpucker]

Rod during intermission

 

[wgknestrick]

Getting 4s of stream, then 10s of stuttering. Very frustrating

 

[hurricure]

1 period of hockey and we are already reaching for the suicide pills…

 

[Borsig]

We look completely outmatched. Not seeing this as luck or bounces like the isles series

PP for them is an autogoal. NO PP presense. Defense getting eaten alive and We dont even look like we belong. predictable

 

[Brad Meador]

Wow, not a great period. Missed assignments and left Freddie out to dry.

Need to regroup during the intermission and win some key faceoffs.

Rangers are amped up and that's what I'm saying about their start.

But, I was afraid of this. A long layoff and Carolina looks lost today on the ice.

Been happening all season after long layoffs.

The bright side is it's only game 1. I'd be more concerned about our play right now if it was game 7.

Agreed. I don't care what the circumstances are, 3 goals on 7 shots is unacceptable.

I actually agree with this. Sometimes a goalie change wakes up a team.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Agreed. I don't care what the circumstances are, 3 goals on 7 shots is unacceptable.

I mean they scored 3 goals from just outside the crease with no one defending the player.

 

[Wolfpuck]

This series was an uphill climb even if we were playing our best.

What a mess.

 

[andy500]

We're playing their game and losing.

 

[Stickpucker]

Canes watching that period

 

[Borsig]

I have decided just to mute the game. I can't stand the fellating of the rangers even if they do deserve it after that.
