Series Talk: SCF: Carolina Hurricanes [M1] vs Vegas Golden Knights [P1], Canes Lead 3-2

[Summer Rose]

That is no way to decide the cup winner, as if one game can really tell who really is the better team?!

It should be like tennis where you have to win by two.

 

[WreckingCrew]

This stanley cup finals is by far the worst finals and laziest and sloppiest hockey in nhl history....the worst coaching....worst goaltending.....just absolutely pathetic.

Let me guess, bitter Canadians fan who thinks the refs were in the Canes pockets (despite officiating being terrible overall or in MTLs favor)?

 

[LakeLivin]

On the official NHL gamecenter page you can replay each goal with these. It's pretty cool to get an exact breakdown of what actually happened positionally. Or when it's an OT game winner and you see all the "dots" come onto the ice to celebrate with the goal scorer.

 

[NotCommitted]

Sebastian Aho is not playing nearly as bad as you would think reading the boards, or even listening some of the talking heads. The first line is still struggling a bit 5v5 especially in the O-zone and Aho has been on ice for 2 goals for and 3 against in the finals, but he also has 4 points in 4 games, behind only Staal and Ehlers and has played the most PK of all forwards (and is still one of the best in the league at that).

He's not having a good playoffs by his standards but luckily for the Canes this time around they have scoring depth and while the offense has been dry and the first line hasn't been able to complete a pass to save their life (especially the first couple games) he's been pretty good defensively and great on the PK as usual.

Pretty embarrassing for 30 other teams that couldn’t beat these lazy, sloppy, poorly coached, badly goaltended teams I guess.

 

[The Faulker 27]

I find it comical that Tortellini says the Canes didn't earn their winning goal. What about all the own goals including the fluky one that won game 3 for Vegas? Did Vegas not earn it?

Staal's falling to the ice and barely gets a back hand off but happens to get enough on it to beat Carter Hart. I think he earned that one.

Cope harder Torts.

agreed

 

[LakeLivin]

No, no… if a team doesn’t sweep the finals while winning every game at least 10-0 then it means the coach sucks and deserves to be fired. The goalie also has to get a shutout in every game and every forward has to be PPG.

You've clearly been lurking on the Canes board!

 

[Cogburn]

I'm no Stan for the Hurricanes, but just make this quick. No one outside of Vegas fans want to see another cup to Bettmans favorite team.

 

[Summer Rose]

You've clearly been lurking on the Canes board!

You’ve seen me there on several occasions, yes.

 

[HydratedByStormBrew]

The same people who say the league is so fast and skilled will tell you they enjoy these games. Hyprocrites. They look like preseason games and it doesn't look like either team is ever prepared to start a game.

Oh no, the guy that spends 99% of his time on this forum whining about Carolina doesn’t like the series. What a shocker.

This series may come down to which goalie can actually steal a game instead of having a "Yeah he gave up 4 goals but it wasn't really his fault" lukewarm endorsement. I'm going with Bussi as the hero.

 

[PaulD]

Not that I want more replay, but don’t you guys think it’s weird that they review whether the puck crossed the line down to the tenth of a second, but don’t rewind 20 seconds to see if the clock actually started at the right time?

Timekeeper could’ve been a quarter of a second early for all we know.

Or bang on "for all we know".

where do the .....let's back up in time and look for an error stop?? ( ;

3 of the goals were not his fault at all but go off, it's clear you're still not over some things

Hart is was their best player in their sweep of the Aves.

I agree with that..

I agree with that..

I agree too, but with only two or three games left, it’s not a guarantee that it’ll even happen… in which case it’s anyone’s guess who wins. Granted, it’s also anyone’s guess about which goalie randomly steals a game if it happens.

Canadiens fan here. Best finals I've watched in years. And I enjoyed the last 4 immensely.

Of course it is.
Like most predictions

The one advantage the Canes may have is Bussi is a bit of an unknown quantity and if he has a good game, Vegas has a short time to figure him out.

Could be a bit like Adin Hill coming out of nowhere in 2023.

[TooManyHumans]

I think this series has been extremely entertaining so far.

did you just f***ing quote yourself as if to prove a point?

I dislike both these teams, rather immensely. And I agree with you. I've thoroughly enjoyed these games.

Hart is was their best player in their sweep of the Aves.

Don't forget about the ANA series where he was +7 GSAE - it was f***ing ridiculous

 

[Tryamw]

I can buy that argument.. it's just harder now
