Pitter fuging patter boys

Jesus fug. This take isn't even viable. That's how premature it is.

The fuging memes though. Kirk Muller's honeymoon period ended as The CW's "Arrow" was getting hot. Which resulted in

You know there was a time where it was Million, myself and a buddy of mine and maybe a couple others posting in this sub. My buddy and I did a blog (there used to be blogs on the Huddle and it was a great time) on the Canes. It was a simpler time. We were pretty bad as a team, and nobody took themselves too seriously. Now we're slowly becoming ridiculous. Y'all just enjoy the suck of being down in a playoff series

Nobody playing hockey at the end of May sucks. This team is great. We're in the ECF with guys who shouldn't even be on NHL icd at this point in their careers, let alone in the NHL playoffs. We have got to find scoring. I thought we were set when we got so many looks in the first period, but Florida is deceptively scrappy. They're playing with house money and it shows.

Yeah I think we steal one at least in Florida but it's tough the rest of the way. Expect some line changes. Expect Freddie. I'm mostly pissed that we literally fuged ourselves in the corner to end it. Just fug man, can you get shittier luck? That play is literally non-existent if we're not tripping each other in the corner.

Aho needs to learn to create scoring chances. His dangles are elite but his scoring is so wildly inconsistent

It's coming. it's reality check season. Let em know. Remind em.

Noesen was closer to scoring there than half the guys on this board are with a woman. Good God what's it gonna take?

We're wayyyy too fine with what we're doing. That 2 on 1 chance needed a better follow up. Damn. Missed chance

As I hit send we're back on it. Lol. Just gotta make them respect that we can do it. They started stretching and we had to remind em. Respect it Brindy.

I've noticed we're not as hard on our forecheck. Playing mistake hockey which is fine but sooner or later we're going to have to get back to that. Wonder if we're saving that surge for the last 7 minutes or so.

If we had Svech right now we'd be destroying. Not having him muscle net front is a huge miss. But alas, we still look like the better team right now. Just gotta net one.

So some takes. 1) Raanta looks pretty sharp given the time missed. Little shaky early but the one he allowed was an absolute beauty of a move. 2) Turbo doesn't look like he can keep up with the rest of our guys. Like a really bad wheel on a fast as fug car. 3) Bob is that fuging dude. Lesser goalie, we're up 4-1 right now. 4) We have to just keep plugging. Goals will come. Don't get panicky.

I am going to put it to people this way regarding Bobrovsky. I'm a goalie guy. I love good goalies. I am decently well-informed guy who came into the game as a teen and didn't touch ice with a stick until my mid twenties. Bobrovsky is nothing less than elite. By the third period tonight, I'll expect for some "ok his blocker is really goddamn good" posts in here because the disrespect of Bob is just blowing my mind. Butterfly goalies drop. By design, this opens the shelf. It's a style of play to force you to go high, where they can then focus as their pads eliminate the lower portion of the net. Much in the way a defensemen takes away the pass on odd man rushes so the goalie can focus on the shot. It's way harder to get precise lift than to keep it low and hard. Hence why so many shots sail over the net or hit the crossbar.

I think Brindy makes that call by dinner. If Freddie is good to go and says he feels great, no issues, he's the hot hand. If there's any doubt, you go to Raanta and give him until Monday. Absolutely not skating is the call though. Save the legs. I'm sure they probably met up and went over poo dry which is fine given how game 1 went.

Corral is trying to earn qb3. We don't necessarily NEED QB3. He needs to focus there. He's definitely not beating Dalton out of a spot, and he's never been on Young's level. tough sledding.

Easy to say, hard to do. He has great control over his glove and blocker and displayed that a ton last night. You beat Bob with cross crease passing, deflections and rebound opportunities when he's scrambling. Make the extra pass and get to the dirty areas. Only way you're gonna consistently score. Tomorrow night is essentially for the series btw. If we can't get by them at home, we MIGHT steal one on the road but then winning the rest of the way is certainly a prayer.

If Aho is a rightie this game is over

Come on boys. Win this for the dads who fell asleep in the 2nd OT period and are gonna wake up after it's over, check their phone and ease into bed so as not to hear about it from the wife.

Alright, who is a believer in this game going to a 5th OT and Gretzky leaving before it cuts back for intermission?

Goddamn that dudes a pussy lol

Canes gonna win during fuging happy hour

Freddie looks fuging locked in though. Gonna have to be because I'm thoroughly convinced Bob isn't even human at this point

This could either spur one of these teams to win a cup or it could curse one of these teams to go out in 4 in the final.
