Tampa Bay: We don't have the talent to play with Montreal, so we'll just start a scrum every whistle to catch our breath.

And, in case you missed it, Ehlers is a fugging competitor. I don't know if there's anyone on the ice who wants to win more than #27.

BizNasty's commentary on the OT game winner/not game winner. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXYNQv8DDde/?igsh=MWt4dzk5aTl0ZjMxYQ==

Ottawa is basically playing with 2 lines.

Ottawa is out of gas and just playing physical to slow the pace. Canes need to keep their composure and play their game.

The Canes have certainly not been very good, but they've been robbed of 3 PPs and a GWG. Absolute garbage from the league.

Top line needs to get going. 1 Aho breakaway and no other points from those 3. Seen it before. Very disappointing to see it yet again.

Neutral zone turnovers have resulted in both Ottawa goals

4-1 Sens with a couple bounces. Freddie has let 3 pucks get behind him. Svech would have been fine without the second hit on Giroux.

He sounded the siren one night this season. He looked like he just woke up from a nap under an overpass somewhere.

He actually spoke in coherent sentences?

Kleven and Zub are out. Jensen was already on IR. All 3 are D-men. This is who they called up:

The Canes aren't immune to getting beat up, either, and they are far from being a physical hockey team. There's no way they keep up a pace of laying 57 hits on Ottawa or any other team. Hopefully, the majority of the physicality is out of the way and we can play some hockey now. But, we can never assume Tkachuck isn't going to drop the gloves again. Matter of fact, I'd expect it at least 2-3 more times.

For those keeping score, the Canes were credited with 57 hits to Ottawa's 39.

Their power play was pretty damn good against TB. Look, the Habs only had 5 SOG thru 2 periods, so it's not like TB rolled over and played dead. But TB has one of best PKs in the league... mostly because they've gotten a lot of practice being the most penalized team in the league.

TNT crew loves them some Colorado. I did hear one of them say "King" at one point, so I'm fairly sure that's who they're playing...lol

"The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team." As I stated in the other thread...

As I said...

Ehlers on Chabot...oooof....

Aho is not good 35 minutes into the game. Do not let these fuggers in after a late period penalty.

Good period. Little nerves showing, but okay. Tkachuck- such a tool. Just a special needs kinda guy.

Not so sure about that. Power plays were 9-5 against the Canes just in the last 3 games.

The intangible- refs.

Goaltending. How unpredictable Carolina's is versus how steady Ottawa's is. Everything, success and defeat in this post-season, will be based on goaltending.

I go as well, but skipping this year with the game time Saturday. If I was going to the game, I'd spend the day over there before the game. Always looking for a deal, but last year there wasn't much of anything for sale.
