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

[NorthStar4Canes]

Intellectually and sexually, I surmise, which is poetic since it seems a bit masturbatory to self-quote.

You Norwegians....not everything is about poetry you know.

If it were a team of horror movie villains vs the Vegas golden knights, the team of horror movie villains would still be America’s team.

America's team:

 

[TheBigLetowski]

Pronger with great insight. Says Eichel needs to be better and start imposing his will. And that he’s not playing with enough desperation.

Can say the exact same for Aho

Oh it's that guy from Wayne's World!

 

[Buckley]

I think Carolina takes the next two, with Bussi in net for both games.

 

[GrumpyKoala]

And worldwide?
Just curious, not a bait for endless discussions

And worldwide?
Just curious, not a bait for endless discussions

Not sure about other countries, but I can tell you that only a couple dozen people are watching in Zambia and Mozambique combined.

 

[Cool Hand Puke]

Starting lineup:

C = Freddy Krueger
LW = Jason Voorhees
RW = Michael Myers
D = Norman Bates
D = Leatherface
G = Chucky

Why would you the smallest guy at goalie? Hes not nimble to make up for it. This is why you aren’t a coach…

 

[Tryamw]

Better yet, score three or four own goals the next couple of game. Stop passing up easy goals for ridiculous reasons like "That's my goaltender"

Eichel should do this needs to get more goals and with Marner for the sick feeds

 

[Tryamw]

But I was told that nobody was going to watch.

Over and over and over scrtch again

And Raisins...

Why all.this dislike of Vegas?

Possibly some of it is that, sort of like a bad guy in pro wrasslin', Vegas embraces a "Us against the world" persona.

 

[pabHabs]

Starting lineup:

C = Freddy Krueger
LW = Jason Voorhees
RW = Michael Myers
D = Norman Bates
D = Leatherface
G = Chucky

Villains in 6

 

[WreckingCrew]

Why all.this dislike of Vegas?

Mostly comes down to 3 things:
1) People are upset / jealous that Vegas got to be a Cup contender (and winner) so quickly because of the way the expansion draft was set up...and shrewd work by the GM to get draft picks to take/pass certain guys
2) Lots of big-name players sort of "force" their way to Vegas (much like they do with teams like NYR), so other teams fans feel like they got cheated out of a superstar. Vegas seems to have no problem getting those guys and signing them to huge contracts. Prime example, CAR made a huge swing on Rants and then he pouted and moped until he got traded somewhere he wanted to be and immediately signed a huge contract. Vegas, New York, Florida, & Dallas seem to have a huge advantage in the "big name UFA" department.
3) LTIR Cap manipulation. Stone getting injured roughly the same time like 3 out of 4 years right before TDL and then being ready G1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs comes across as far too coincidental to not be manipulated, so they've had like $10M+ to play with at TDL to end up with a $120M roster in playoffs.

Bussi gets the start again. Freddie still not on the ice. I’m leaning towards mental health over Claude’s death over concussion.

I feel for Freddy. There's no good time to lose someone who you care about, but especially not when you're at the height of your profession, a profession where millions of people get to see every mistake you make. I think he's 13-3 in these playoffs and he loses his starting role. It's a tough world out there, but I hope mentally Freddy can feel like himself again soon. I found my mom dead about two months ago and I've learned how grief infects every part of your life, so if anyone understands, I do.

So many of those post-game 1 takes have aged like milk.

 

[Boreal01]

Incredibly disappointing performances from McNabb over the past 2 games

 

[Divine]

Carolina feels like they have all the momentum.

They haven't lost 2 straight games in like 55 games or something.

 

[PromisedLand]

 

[Vukotal Recall]

Carolina is playing awesome but I'd be beyond incensed if my player's hand was busted by a dirty slash.

They are playing with confidence knowing they have a goalie that can hold the fort

 

[GoldenSeal]

I am impressed af. The Canes are for real.

Mind every time I say that, the team loses lol.
