Refs are pretty much letting FL beat on players and only calling the small stuff. Call a hook on the Canes, but don't call multiple cross checks on FL.

Just fugging win!

That said, Washington has played 2 games with 17 guys due to injuries and cap issues. Regardless, Canes win and I'd love to see NJ choke than undermanned roster in Washington.

Canes win, they don't play until Tuesday?

Nice work after scoring their 2nd goal. FL with 4 SOG thar period. FL has decided to thug it up now their offense has dried up.

#48 back on the bench after spending a missed shift in the tunnel.

Barkov just put his leg into Martinook. Uncalled penalty.

Is there a Tkachuk in the NHL who isn't an asshole?

D is standing them up at the blue line. This is Canes hockey.

Florida is making a push. Still only 1 SOG for FL this period 8 minutes in.

Face-off % down all season. We're down the entire game against Detroit until the 3rd period. Then the Canes took over the circle.

Don't like seeing 11 SOG by Florida.

Was thinking maybe Noesen, too.

Burns! Haven't decided on next year's sweater: Burns, Skjei or Chatfield.

Okay... which forum is worse: Carolina Panthers or the Tinderbox? I'm of the opinion the CP forum should have the same warning as the TB. But baseball?!? I'd rather be waterboarded for 3 hours...

He makes perfect sense and the league should listen.

So, it also looks like Blackwood is in net for NJ tonite. I'm sure @glenwo2 is thrilled.

Regulation wins (RW) is 1st tie breaker. Second is ROW (regulation and OT wins); and third is total wins (RW, ROW and shootout).

Oh, and if Andersen is in net tonight, this will tell you everything you need to know about the organization's approach to playoff hockey. Raanta is clearly the better of the 2 right now and with 5 days off after the game, he is the guy who "gives the team a better chance to win," to use an old Ron Rivera line. How do we believe anything but this game not being important if RBA goes with Andersen tonight?

I thought it was longer, to be honest. I remember looking at the clock when Ned skated off and I thought it was closer to 3 minutes, but I could be wrong.

Boston: 1-0-2 (4 pts in 3 games) (9 GF - 8 GA) NY Islanders: 3-1 (6 pts in 4 games) (12 GF - 9 GA) Florida: 1-1 (2 pts in 2 games) (4 GF - 3 GA) NJ: 2-2 (4 pts in 4 games) (12 GF - 13 GA) NY Rags: 1-3 (2 pts in 4 games) (9 GF - 15 GA) Tampa Bay: 2-1 (4 pts in 3 games) (10 GF - 7 GA) The Rags are the only team to take the Canes and beat them consistently. The goal differential is lopsided. Every other team on this list is just another game.

I was at the game and I never heard an announcement that Ned was pulled. Then, I read the stat line and nowhere does it mention he was pulled. As a matter of fact, he is credited with 24 saves on 27 shots on goal; Carolina was credited with 28 shots on goal- that 28th being the empty net goal by KK. Carolina had 5 shots on goal in the final period- Ned getting credit for 4 saves when he was in net. So, Ned was not benched unless the other goalie came in after the empty net goal for the last 40 seconds of the game.

Been telling you guys this for months....

I still have zero regrets for not making that purchase. Look, just because the Canes actually won a game they were supposed to (unlike the last 3), doesn't change the fact they are a .500 hockey team for the last 30 days. If they somehow manage to beat Florida, who really has nothing to prove- their spot is secure- they will face these same Panthers in round 1. I like the matchup and I think the Canes have a legit chance to get through the first round. But, after that, all bets are off.

Detroit starting a goalie with no NHL games under his pads (0-0-0). Canes might get shut out.
