GDT: Tampa @ Carolina Game 5: The Wretched Rally Towel Prophecy

[3CanesInTheBox]

Well, not unexpected, but disgusting nonetheless.
Need better players, at the end of the day.

Still, beats 10 years of no playoffs, so there is that

They can take the prophecy away from us but they can't take that hilarious towel rant away lol.

 

[BrindAmours Army]

People blaming the series on the goalie that went .920 are insane.

Mrazek should never have gotten a start.

@Ginger Papa

You're welcome here anytime bud

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

I'm a Canes fan, have been for 15 years. I've been tracking the careers of Ned, Trocheck, Hamilton for a long time. I'd rather be here, glad to see you guys are inclusive. I'm not coming to shit talk, I'm just frustrated, as you all are.

It’s cool - we know how long you’ve been around these boards.

 

[WeAreSoPucked]

HFCanes is a great board - hockey smarts & having fun too.
Know it hurts like hell right now but just b/c you don't win doesn;t mean you're a loser.
And now ... I'm gonna go get good & drunk (figuratively speaking of course ... ;-))

To hockey! And GG & G/L to the Bolts - they are one helluva club - no shame in coming up short against.
Out.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Oh well.

My goofy ass will still be here for the rest of the playoffs and off-season. For the folks taking off the next few months, see you next season.

 

[VAcaniac]

Im rooting for Islanders and Avs. Tampa and Boston can go choke on a dick.

 

[HisIceness]

And now, go Avalanche!

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Yeah cause our top 6 can just play for 2:30 straight… and has been lighting it up tonight…

We never even used our timeout. And Boston’s top line played like 3 out of the last 4 minutes against the Isles last night, with 2 older players. When it’s expected to be 6-5 with possession in the O zone to close the game, yes our top guys can play those minutes, and should.

Imma hang around this offseason. I usually ignore the sport once my team is eliminated as a coping mechanism, but I do love this board.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Yep me too. Cool with any team other than TB and Boston. I like the Isles and the Habs winning it all would be absolutely hilarious but no issues with Vegas or Colorado either.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Mrazek should never have gotten a start.

He was so frustratingly inconsistent in Detroit. He had flashes of being an amazing goaltender but I don't know what it is with goalies

 

[Canes]

Probably the last game for Mrazek and Reimer and unfortunately maybe 2-3 other players in Canes unis. Ultimately I liked all of our players so it's just sad.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Mrazek should never have gotten a start.

He is the only one to win a game this series, to be fair

Wish we could have channeled the 2015 Hawks this series. Thanks pal, please visit often.

 

[Sigurd]

These eliminations still hurt, and this one might be the worst yet tbh.

Yeah, I feel the same. This elimination stings more than the others.

I hope we improve our roster during the offseason, but I'm skeptical.

 

[Roboturner913]

This team hasn’t had a heavy game all year. They have a fierce forecheck but nothing that classified as heavy. We got Paquette and Hakanpää in an effort to be heavy, although it never worked.

Not sure what team you've been watching, but when 3 of your top 4 goalscorers are Niederreiter, Trocheck and Staal, the basis of your offense is cycle/forecheck, not skill and speed.

 

[hblueridgegal]

A few here mentioned that something seemed a little off with the team near the end of the season. I hope whatever it was can be readily addressed. They just looked kinda worn out all playoffs after zipping around Jan-April.

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

To go completely out of character for a moment.

I had a bad feeling since we played in Nashville.

...

ANYWAY. I WILL STAY FOR THE NON-HOCKEY STUFF, BUT I THINK I AM TAKING A BREAK FROM THE ICE-RELATED STUFF.

I mean, this is one of the more inclusive boards on this site from my experience.

 

[Roboturner913]

To me, it stings less because I think Tampa really is just that good.

I didn't feel that way about Boston either time.

 

[Canes]

Yeah, I feel the same. This elimination stings more than the others.

I hope we improve our roster during the offseason, but I'm skeptical.

Yep, we've had 2 shots at it now, along with allowing our young guys to develop and it hasn't brought us any closer. Yes Tampa is one of the best teams in the league and reigning Cup champs but we literally had no answers for them at all.

I was just getting ready to comment on a good series and how wonderful the Carolina fans are.
Guess I'll take that back.
Way to lose all class.

Literally zero people care

Bye. Let teams and fans vent. Civility is for the main board.

Door's that way, you will be missed
