Post-Game Talk: Walking cane

[CasusBelli]

Think Taresenko being here is a huge shot in the arm to Panarin.

Outside of the obvious, Goat was very good. That dude can stay on the 4th. Just need a 4th line center.

My fiancée says “Panarin just needed his bestie.” She might be right: his days with Kane in Chicago were unreal.

the canes basically played their system perfectly the whole game and lost by 4. they have no answer for us and we didn't even have our #1 goalie.

This is what I think but keep to myself. They can't beat us, especially in a best of series. Their lack of creativity will be their Achilles heel

Kakko and laf with another good game

They looked a little lost in the first half when the canes were playing pinball machine but once it got down to hockey they got going

 

[CasusBelli]

I credit Mikkola, brought some much needed stiffness to the group

Big, mobile defensive defenseman with a decent head on his head. Well under 30. I’ll take it.

That was one hell of a third period.

Ive said it in other threads. Carolina just doesn’t scare me. They dont have a player that can just take over a game.

Devils scare me more come playoffs.

 

[egelband]

Carolina is a fraud team

I wouldn’t call them a fraud but they bring a playoff style to the regular season. It makes them look better than they are. Also makes the coach look like a genius. But when another team plays that style they don’t look so pretty.

rope-a-doped them so hard, Muhammad Ali must have been smiling watching this game.

Never should have traded him !

 

[zlev]

also Panarin was awesome tonight (duh he scored 4 goals), his analytics look like he was playing for a different team than everyone else. that's a really good sign.

 

[chosen]

I took a look at the standings and two things stuck out to me:
1. How are we still that much behind Carolina and debbies
2. 2 points back, 1 game in hand against Toronto. Who everyone in Canada has creamed on lately for being so good.

After that Trouba helmet toss, we have been pretty f***ing good par for 1 or 2 games. We are much better than last year. We play better, Igor is not bailing us out every game. Neither is Halak.

I just want to crush the debbies 4-0 in the 1st round.

I want to beat the Devils in 7 and win the 7th game in the 5th OT.

Redo. bread doesn’t score against good teams

Its like he suddenly remembered he's an elite player

 

[PuckLuck3043]

I missed the 1st two periods, and reading the GDT, was probably a good thing. Lol

The first period was fine. The second was not.

Totaled his entire goal output as an NYR in just one Blues game. Shows how much we sick.

 

[zlev]

Its like he suddenly remembered he's an elite player

he's been quietly putting up really nice analytics starting with the Boston game but nobody noticed because he wasn't scoring

 

[Mike in Houston]

We smoked them fools!!!!

Back to back games with touchdowns!

Enjoy the Super Bowl tomorrow!

 

[Priorae]

If we were Canes fans, this game would have us in convulsions

 

[bl02]

Almost same feeling like I had during the 2014-2015 regular season where I expected the team to win every night

 

[RGY]

Hasn’t been talked about enough, if at all, but Trouba has been outstanding lately. Back to normal. Minimizing mistakes and having positive impacts.

 

[CLW]

Big, mobile defensive defenseman with a decent head on his head. Well under 30. I’ll take it.

I was mostly joking, but if you don't overplay Mikkola I think he'll be decent enough

Fox played 21:38
Schneider 18:39
Mikkola 17:48

If the team can keep Fox's minutes down a bit down the stretch to keep him fresh that's a huge win

 

[CasusBelli]

That Trouba interview lmao

 

[Leonardo87]

@will1066 I personally would have gone with Tropical Depression as a thread title. But that is good one. Lol

 

[PuckLuck3043]

the canes basically played their system perfectly the whole game and lost by 4. they have no answer for us and we didn't even have our #1 goalie.

And they were playing their 4th game in 6 days and a B2B with travel.

 

[will1066]

That pass from Vesey on the 4th Bread goal was SICKEST

 

[ecemleafs]

Number 15 is the clear weak link in a roster I otherwise love. I'm sure he's on borrowed time, but the sooner the better.

just put kravtsov on the 4th line and put goodrow at C if u dont trust kravy to play in the top 6. lezszisczsin isnt an nhler.
