Win this in regulation while we have momentum. Don't let FL regroup

Just not clutch enough... Bummer to lose 4 games by 1 goal (assuming FL doesn't get an empty netter)

We've been saying this for years - we aren't

Well, 1 period left to see if they actually give a crap about winning. Hopefully they do

He's done well with the talent he has. Imagine what he could do with Toronto's roster

Slavin has been great in the playoffs. I think several of our players have shown effort also (Marty, Fast, Mac, Jarvis). The problem is who is a go-to scorer on lines 2-4 outside of Necas (who disappears in the playoffs).

You do realize we have scored all of 3 goals in 3 1/3 games, right... I'm pretty sure I would call a 2 goal lead insurmountable for the product we have out there.

Good enough to make the playoffs, not good enough to beat anybody good. Rinse and repeat...

Just depressing that FL hurts our best player and this team just rolls over and couldn't care less. Honestly I hope FL just hurts the rest of these pussies we have

There is probably a better chance of Florida scoring on Bob than us. Again, when your team is composed of grinders and playmakers (courtesy of Svech and Patches being hurt), this is what you get - bad scoring slumps

Or Alex Pieterangelo apparently. I would love a nice slash to break Tkachuk's arm

This series has been clear since game 1 the NHL wants Florida to advance. We haven't done any favors forgetting how to put the puck in the net, but the crap Florida has gotten away with in several rounds is freaking annoying

I'd rather just tell a 4th liner to run full speed into Bob and knock him out of the playoffs. Take the 5 minute major and game misconduct - well worth it

When has Aho ever done something like this?

This. We have been one of the softest teams in the league for god knows how long. Other teams know this and they aren't afraid to hurt us. As much as I hate Kadri, we need somebody like that. When things start going bad, you can count on him to take out another team's star or goalie

If this freaking team has any backbone, they better start just cross checking the poo out of FL and boarding these pricks so hard the glass breaks

I've pretty much been the same, except I'm to the point I have tuned out of more Panthers games than I would like to admit. Honestly, it took me too long to just not invest time into sports, unless they happen to be on in the background of a bar/restaurant when I'm with friends. How much happier I have been since doing this is amazing, outside of watching the Hurricanes lose to Florida

That would free up some roster spots - no longer need a punter, kicker, or long snapper

I need to borrow some of your optimism

Lol. Nah, if it were Boston I would say put a bounty on Marchand. Outside of Bennett being a prick (wouldn't mind hitting him hard into the boards), I have no qualms with Florida.

It's definitely better than MLB, but I feel like it drags on too much when there are random stretches of 3 games in 4 nights then weird 4 day layoffs between games. You also just can't beat playoff hockey. Even though it sucked losing the 4 OT game, you just don't get that level of buttclench in any other sport.

I love the Canes, but the regular season definitely is too slow for me and I am not as tuned in. I am hoping we make some good additions in the offseason and can actually stay healthy in the playoffs for a change next year.

No doubt that is the case when he is our best pure scorer. Take Draisaitl off Edmonton and you would see the same. I'm just saying even with Svech, we were a very limited offensive team

Yeah, I'm not hating on Florida. If they were Boston throwing cheap shots hurting our best player, different story. While they have been physical, I don't think they've crossed the line and have benefited from retarded refs. If they win, awesome. If they lose, couldn't care less. I just want a ratings nightmare and a sweep to piss off sponsors/tv stations that are paying a boatload of money to broadcast/advertise.

Yep, I'm upset. Whatever troll me - literally don't think I've ever seen you in this Canes forum. I would like for 1 Carolina team to be good. While this team isn't a trainwreck like every other Carolina franchise, they still aren't talented enough to win a Stanley Cup and it's annoying because we have a cheap ass owner/GM that doesn't want to spend any money. The Devils series gave me false hope - I now realize they were just not very good/did not matchup well against us. Sucks because with a few bounces our way, we could be up 2-1 in the series. But that is how hockey goes I guess.
