Playoff football is great. The NFL understands how to milk the last 2 minutes. But it in no way compares to the overall level that hockey maintains throughout a game. Even a game as lopsided as that. I don’t know too much about the NBA these days. I’ll tune in if Steph is in the finals, that’s it. NBA went screwball after the 90’s in my opinion.

It’s so nice flipping back over to Bally for our crew…. Except listening to the nationals eat crow was

Ok. Let’s see how we do when the devils get last change. Gotta figure out 4th line. That’s an issue. We can’t pair our 4-3 unless we put Each in for speed.

I’d like to see him on the coaching line on the bench. Just standing there next to rod doing everything rod does.

Hockey is by far the most exciting sport in existence. The canes have put on a dominate performance. Thanks to our grinders(Fast, Martinook) they have single handedly fuged up the devils entire game plan. By grinders I mean the people who take and give hits, and play the puck low every time. Even if it’s 4v1.

Fasty needs a goal. He’s been the driving force behind this game.

We have been really good tonight. Our grinders have been on point and Freddie has been serviceable.

He had a “trip” apparently after game one.

Ok start saving those legs boys!

Too bad Aho wasn’t ready for that pass back.

Honestly I think he has the yips. He had a decent year last year with Edmonton. Him + our third line D is no good though against a speed team. At least Each has speed.

If the refs called chatty for protecting Freddie imma be pissed.

Fair enough. Pool/ghost have the devils only two goals so far though. They aren’t meshing. Note Rod has the 8/74 out now with the 4th.

Ok get one on Vanecek.

Nah that was pool. He doesn’t have the speed we need him to on the defensive side.

Ok. I was on his side. Pool is a liability. Each needs to suit up Sunday.

To be fair we are absolutely spoiled.

So the Montreal intermission guy bet heavily on the devils apparently(watching his reactions). He’s pissed.

I do see a few players outside of Fasty, Martinook and Slavin over playing a little bit. Keep those legs fresh boys. It was clear Fasty and Martinook are our two drivers at this point.

Second period was an absolute clinic after the first 5-6 minutes. If it had kept going we would have just kept scoring.

Patience’s is a virtue.

I way too close. Even though he was “pushed”, right call.

Haula keeps fuging with Aho on the face off. They should have given him his second warning there.

What a chip by Staal.

Holy poo. If that’s not offsides.
