I wasn’t able to watch Game 5 and won’t be able to watch any of the rest of the series. However, it was nice to wake up this morning and see the Canes with a 3-2 series lead.

Red eye to Europe tonight. Clock hit 00:00 as we taxied out for takeoff. Nice timing, NHL and United. Now, let’s get this eight hour flight out of the way.

I’m so happy Vegas wasn’t able to get their third and fourth wins of the series tonight. I just know Carolina will lose Game 5 twice and lose the series. … LFG, Canes!!! Nice win!

“The dagger” was the goal that tied it for Vegas??? “Vegas scores on their chances, we never do, yet it took their two second period goals to tie the Canes?

Let’s just hope there is no need for any Canes fan to determine how best to view a loss tonight. Tying it up at 2-2 is the hope.

Well, you also stated your viewpoint “is not looking through a negative lense it is common sense.” Through your viewpoint, you’d rather the Canes just have been destroyed 4, 5, 6-0 Saturday night than to have stormed back only to lose on a fluke goal in OT. That may be how you feel, but it is ABSOLUTELY looking through a negative lens.

This would be a little ludicrous. The Bus looked so much more comfortable in between the pipes and was a huge reason as to why the Canes were able to fight back in Game 3. Had Freddie stayed in, the Canes lose that game 6-1 in regulation.

Back after email validation fiasco. With all due respect, this is an awful take. Coming back from 4-0 to force OT is a huge feat and shows that these games can turn at any moment. That is much more promising than losing 4-0 or, let’s be real, 6 or 7-0 if Freddie had stayed in the game, and being completely demoralized. Fighting back, regardless of the outcome, proves Carolina has the ability, and the desire, to be competitive and, as Game 2 shows, win these games. Not fighting back after being down 4-0 doesn’t show those things and is a worse way to lose. There are so many in the board with a viewpoint that is the antithesis of Roosevelt’s Man in the Arena. This “It’s better to just get stomped than fight back from down 4-0 only to lose” is an extension of that.

As the series plays out, I am convinced that Game 1 was solely due to the long layoff and the Canes’ strong desire to show the layoff didn’t “effect” them. This led to overplaying situations for a period. Since that time, the Canes have dominated the games. The only distinguishing factor of Game 1 was the 11 days off before it.

There's #4. It just took an empty net to get over the hump.

So fast.

Freddie appears to be on it tonight though.

Shoot the freaking puck!

These Passing Performances are getting tiresome.

F these refs, man! A cross check right to the cheek???
