I think this game broke VGK. After the Karlsson injury (he did leave the bldg for the hospital), and the 3rd period pressure, a 2-goal, then a 3-goal lead, VGK looks done. Just finish it in Vegas.

They have taken advantage of poor line changes. They've seen something and have gotten guys behind the defense multiple times.

Amir Miftakhov (G) called up from Chicago today. Something's up with Freddie and calling a goalie up tells me Pyotr may not be 100% back yet.

Canes win tonight and I believe the Cup is theirs.

All you young whippersnappers!

Yep, you're right. I forgot about that. Fly was banged up, but RBA put him on the ice for a reason, too. Could have put KK out there, but there was a purpose for Deslauriers on the ice.

Deslauriers only has 31 games for the 2025-2026 season. If the Canes win Thursday, does RBA put him on the 4th line, give him a few shifts? Otherwise, he'll be the only guy on the playoff roster not to have his name on the Cup. I

Based on every angle I saw, the empty netter by Ehlers had to be a 188-189 foot goal.

Big time players make big time plays in big time games. And. If you go back and watch the third period, when he was on the ice in the D zone, he was just manhandling guys out in front of the net, keeping them away from Bussi.

Fug all of ya. I'm 70 and live for this sh!t!

Wonder if that Ehlers goal was the longest goal scored of the season? He was behind his own net on the wall.

2 passes and a mishandled puck have led to 1 breakaway and 2 odd-man rushes.

Aho has made a couple great passes... to the other team.

3 breakaways already.

BLAKE!

Freddie not even dressed, Pyotr is #2 and the Canes say Freddie is not hurt.

STANK!

I think this makes it clear that Freddie is done in Carolina.

Hoping for the best outcome for your daughter.

Aho: .95 PPG Larkin: .8 Aho: 19:08 TOI. Larkin: 19:32 Aho: .7 Takeaways PG Larkin: .6 Aho: .9 Giveaways PG Larkin: .85 But none of you need be concerned as Larkin has selected Florida, Vegas and Minnesota as his trade landing spots.

It was nice of him to kind of make an appearance 16 games into the playoffs.

A tough loss, for sure. But it's 2-1 right now. Canes played the 1st well, the 3rd desperately, and controlled OT1. Neither team had legs come OT2, and it was going to be a sloppy goal that ended the game. Big time players show up in big time games. Carolina doesn't have one of those. A collection of some really good players, yes. Do they have the ability to win 3 out of 4? Sure. But it'll take a helluva lot more than what we've seen to this point. A lot more.

I'm too old for "winning and losing arguments" and I don't keep a scoreboard. I simply opened a thread and offered my opinion.

Too many guys didn't show up tonight.

Put in Bussi for the 3rd. Game is outta control, but RBA will ride Freddie the rest of the series, so give him the rest of this sh!show on the bench.
