Post-Game Talk: Storm the Weather

[AlaBlueShirt]

Never been this nervous of 3-0 lead. If there’s a team who can get 4 straight, it’s the canes.

I don't remember the Canes turning the puck over in the neutral zone as much as they have done in this series.

Rangers are pressuring them like the Canes play all year. They can't handle it with it's done to them.

man I just hope Fox can get healthy, we'll need him. Close it out in 4 to give him some extra rest. And get him some Soviet Union Olympic team steroids to inject into his knee.

Is it ok to look ahead to our next opponent? Even Brind'Amour realizes he is outmatched. He replaced his best player in this series. Without Freddy Andersen, there's no way game 2 would have went to double OT. He kept them in both games in NY, losing one goal heartbreakers. On all accounts Rod Brind'Amour has blinked.

It's one thing to sit Kuznetsov, but not your star goalie. What kind of message are you sending your team? His excuse of giving him some rest is bull. You didn't see Quick in net after double OT,.. did you? And he is a much better backup than what the Canes have. Rod blinked and this series is over.

No amount of Russian supplements/gas are going to get him back to normal if all they get is 7-10 days of rest.

It's good that Fox on 1 leg is still better than almost any other defenseman in the league.

 

[HolyHagelin]

Yeah. They got loud and mouthy in our section after that goal. Made celebrating that win more enjoyable.

My brother and i were friendly with all the canes fans around us all night, high fived them on the canes goals (we were guests of canes fans with a 9 year old) and kept the vibes chill in out section. Saw a fight in the parking lot. Idiots.

The speed burst of Kreider blowing past Burns for the shortie must have been 500 mph

 

[Unpredictable1]

Your avatar is still elite lol

Put that in my veins.

Do you feel like I do? I'm on it tonight!

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Shesty is Duncan the Walrus, confirmed!

crazy.

That is crazy considering the game 1 of the playoffs the 4th line had and they way the third line has possessed the puck in the o zone.

 

[HolyHagelin]

I am shocked by this game. I haven't drunk alcohol for 1.5 years and it's very difficult for me right now.

Roght there with you, was dd at the game tonight, you don’t need it.

 

[TGWL]

Did playoffs start yet?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Dude is the GOAT PBP guy.

Thankful Kreider went 70% during the regular season so he can turn on the jet packs once the playoffs start

 

[LeetchisGod]

I thought Wennberg played a hell of a game again.

He is the glue of that line and the bottom six.

So many little things he does to keep the structure of the game consistent.

Defensively he was impeccable

Agreed, I just wish that he wasn't so allergic to scoring.

 

[ohbaby]

IMO, there is no doubt who our playoff MVP is. After Shesty, it has to go to Trocheck. Hands down he is our best skater night after night this post season. Faceoffs, powerplays, penalty kills, clutch goals,... He's involved in all situations, making plays. Where would we be without him? He has points in every game this post-season. He comes to play every night, chewing up the most minutes of any forward. In the double OT win, he played more minutes than any skater on both teams, including the D-men. When and if we reach and win the finals, the Conn Smythe should have his name etched on it, waiting for him. But then Shesty, will have to lose a game or two. LOL!

The Chytil postgame quotes

View attachment 868132

I'd be lying if I said I didn't have the feels while listening to him in the locker room. So happy for the kid.

 

[Greg02]

How was chytil?

I'm probably biased, but I thought it was an impressive game. He very obviously looked out of place in the first period, and in some ways playing wing was screwing with his defensive zone instincts; I noticed him kind of floating around in between where he should be as a wing and where he would be if he were playing center a few too many times. That said, he definitely settled in as the game progressed. Everyone will tell you about the highlight reel play where he dangled the defense and came close to potting one, but I thought he was noticeable offensively a handful of other times too, including a nice feed to set up Wennberg in the slot and a couple heavy forechecks that were disruptive to Carolina.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I have a question. I had no problem with the broadcast but it kind of bothered me when they said on Kreider's goal that Kreider ran into a Cane (Aho?) as if the refs missed a call. Looked to me like a Cane ran into Kreider.

It was incidental contact.

Honestly though who cares? Aho got owned and it led to a goal.

One win away from being the third team in history, to sweep the first two series of the Stanley Cup playoffs. (EDM '83, PIT '92)

Incorrect on PIT.

Pittsburgh was down 3-1 to the Caps in the first round in '92 and won in 7 games, then beat the Rangers in 6 games in round 2 (the Graves suspension for slash on Lemieux series.) They did sweep the ECF and SCF though.

Apparently no team has started 8-0 since the playoffs went to best of 7's in all 4 rounds.

Lets make f'n history Saturday night, boys. Foxy needs the rest.
