That would be my wife (long blond hair) and me in the front row:

From last night- we had the opportunity afforded to us by some very generous friends who gave us their tickets (they wanted to watch the Masters on TV) front row behind the glass, behind Freddie for 2 periods.

I want to see him going after another goalie.....

Once NY got the lead, they played Hurricane style D- just stood up at the blue line and let nothing past, content to clear the zone and not mount any offense that would risk putting themselves out of position. But the game winner was the failure of anyone to get to the net and the defender to get behind Palmieri on his hip instead of next to him. Take the penalty for 14 seconds, do something but give him an angle inside 10' with nothing but Freddie in front of him. Slash him across the hands, break his stick...

Boy, you really haven't accepted this, have you? Really working OT now... dude, your team lost, Duke lost. Get over it already. I'll check out now because I know you can't walk away- not in your nature. Gotta have the last word as you've displayed for the last 48 pages of this thread.... lol.

You still don't get it- watching you tap dance is good entertainment.... Call me when UNC or Duke win something.

Right on time, from the guy who's "accepted it." GTFO.

The why are you continuing to post? You're in here making an ass out of yourself. I'll wait..... I'm sure you can't let this go...

Do you have signs in your yard telling people to stay off the grass? Gee, UNC beating Duke is a past accomplishment. Stop taking yourselves so fugging seriously- it was a game neither of you had anything to do with the outcome.

I dunno guys... I watched the highlights this morning and how many times Buffalo got behind the defense and were 1-on-1 facing Raanta was a little unnerving. I counted 5, maybe 6 times Raanta was facing down a lone Saber with no help. And, let's face it, the ESPN+ crew was atrocious, the sound was atrocious and the first 8 minutes of the game was atrocious- that's why I bugged out last night. Sunday night's game- some people we know with season tix want to stay home and watch the end of the Masters, so they gave us their seats behind goal, 1st row on the glass. Wife's bucket list item checked, but I prefer to be a little higher so I can see the whole ice.

You misunderstood. I really don't care because neither of them are nearly as special as their fans believe them to be. Never mind the fact that a 47-page thread to talk about a game that meant nothing at the end of the day because Kansas won, and that's all that matters.

You're working overtime. It's okay to take a breath. And, before you call me a Duke homer or something, I grew up in SoCal, watched the John Wooden teams and didn't know anything about either UNC or Duke until I moved here. 11 NCAA titles, including 10 in 12 years with Wooden. 7 straight titles from 1967-1973. 4 undefeated seasons. 88 game winning streak; 98 game home winning streak; 38 game NCAA tourney winning streak. And he beat both Duke and UNC for NCAA titles. Who finished second in the Kentucky Derby last year? Who finished second at the Indianapolis 500 last year? Who was the NCAA basketball runner-up in last year's tournament?

Yep. Turning this one off 8 minutes in. I'll check the score later. Good night all.

The Canes picked the worst time of the season to get streaky. Going into the final month of the season with 14 games on the schedule, 7 home and 7 away, they could and should have every expectation of getting 18-20 points out of a possible 28. Good teams win the games they're supposed to win, and losing to Buffalo following a very mundane effort against Minnesota is not how a good team operates. Where were the two top lines last night? All we saw or heard from was the Staal line and some of the Martinook line. Anderson was playing his position like he was wearing concrete skates. None of the first 3 goals were screened, deflected or otherwise, it was him and a shooter with nothing in between. I hope RBA starts Raanta tomorrow against Buffalo, again Sunday against the Ducks and then the Red Wings. Let Freddie have the Islanders and Rangers. Then I'd probably start whichever looked better in those against Colorado next Saturday. There's little doubt they need the next 3 straight before facing the Rangers, which I hope they can at least split as they face them again in NY on the 26th.

I'm out guys. Rangers are 2 points out and will win the division.

I take that back.... they'll lose with their top ranked PK on the ice.

Canes will lose 4-2 on an empty netter.

Freddie has watched 3 pucks go past him with nobody between he and the shooter.

Jarvis got away with a 5-minute penalty.

Wouldn't surprise me if the 4th line wins the game

He leads the league with a 2.03 GAA. Nonetheless, playing down to the competition.

Holy crap was that weak. WTF.

ESPN + announcers are Buffalo guys and are really boring. And there's no one in the building- you can hear the players talking
