Canes need to stay aggressive and not back off to play D

NJ came out this period much slower. Very deliberate now.

Vicky Vanacek now in goal for NJ.

Necas needs and deserves at least a goal tonight. That first one, though- gaping net. Schmidt wasn't even In the right zip code.

Fugging ESPN missed the face off and barely got Pesce's shot.

Who said "Blue line feast?"

Followed by a make up call.

Horribly bad call #1

ESPN, bro. Your only option.

Lines: Forwards: Noesen - Aho - Jarvis Martinook - Kotkaniemi - Fast Drury - Staal - Necas Stepan - Stastny - Puljujarvi Defense: Slavin - Burns Skjei - Pesce Gostisbehere - Chatfield Goalie: TBD

Still haven't figured out why Trouba hasn't been disciplined. Pretty fugging obvious the first impact was the head, I don't care of Trouba's elbow was tucked, it was still a head shot. Whoever the fugging moron on ESPN was who said, "He's driving through the core of Timo's body." What the fug!? Down 3 goals and almost halfway thru the 3rd period and you decide to go head hunting because your team went MIA? Fug you- go talk to your teammates.

One thing the Canes need not worry about- Doug Hamilton or anyone else on their blue line hitting someone.

There isn't a "big market" team left in the playoffs. Matter of fact, a few didn't even make the playoffs (Washington, Pittsburgh). And NHL markets are far different than, say, NFL or MLB markets. The Kings are in a big market, but that doesn't mean they draw TV ratings. And, the NHL has major bandwagon markets (Rags, Pens, Caps).

Oh, trust me, I get it. I'm not enamored with the guy, either, but it was the Panthers who selected and signed him, not the other way around. That's all I'm saying. Hey, if he thinks he's got a better opportunity to get his shot, and he needs to move on, the oblige him.

Tampa Bay lost their 1st round draft pick as a result of being bounced in the 1st round of the playoffs. The overall 20th pick now belongs to Chicago.

Classy as ever Panther fans blasting a guy because he's never gotten an opportunity here and only wants to be where an opportunity will present itself. What did he ever do to piss you guys off?

Yeah, looking forward to hearing from announcers who know dick about the Canes.

Didn't the Rags win the 1st 2 games of this series?

Rag's offense has disappeared since winning the first 2 games. I think the winner of the Canes- NJ series will face Dallas for the Cup.

He does a good job sounding like that guy "Your Cousin From Boston."

I went into a bar in Gastonia 30-some years ago. Trust me, a female coyote in there would have been the best looking creature to come thru the door. Rule of thumb; keep your pussies close and your cats closer.

This is hilarious!

All of the possibilities include: TBS, TNT, TruTV, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN+

Games will be on TBS & ESPN

Bruins deserve to lose after sitting Vezina fave Ullmark in a Game 7. Swayman? Really?
