That's the ebbs and flows of hockey man as long as it isn't a meltdown on the score board just power through.... This will be a very gritty low scoring and physical affair.

This will be a low scoring affair on both sides IMO. Let's not forget last time we were a much smaller team and Martinook was our leading goal scorer lol. Two goals probably wins most of these games. Canes are much more physical now and have more size than years past.

LETSFUGGING GOO

Need to make a statement Tuesday!!! Florida has one day in between road trips Toronto to Raleigh they won't be back in Florida.... need to come out and punch them in the mouth. This isn't the soft and injured Canes of yesteryear! #TakeWarning #CauseChaos #Wearethestorm

Need to make a statement Tuesday!!! Florida has one day in between road trips Toronto to Raleigh they won't be back in Florida.... need to come out and punch them in the mouth.

One thing to keep in mind is our forcheck has actually had more success than theirs in previous matchups Bob was the difference along with us missing key guys....

I mean they are doing the same thing we do relentlessly forchecking...

You really can't even blame him they have been letting them get so many high danger shots on him

The Hurricanes and Panthers play the same brand of hockey.... it comes down to wants it more and who plays better in net. The canes should have more gas in the tank and home ice... as long as we can defend it.

The Canes have unfinished business with Florida.... I'll say that

Doubt I get this series will be a war win or lose that I guarantee... Yes we got swept two years ago, but even then every game was a war Martinook was our leading scorer that post season..... Svechnikov was on IR, Slavin got RKOed by Gudas in game 2..... I won't even predict a winner im just saying I dont think Florida is as good as they were then (Thackuk and Bob certainly aret playing the same level) We had AHL guys playing on line 1 that year Turbo with a broken hand ect. Its gonna be a WAR defending home ice early on is key

Just enjoy the ride man.... They have already exceeded my expectations for this year personally so its all gravy I do happen to think this roster is better playoff build than years past even if not more talented.

Since when is i like are chances and it will be close the kool aid? Do you man I'm just saying if your that pessimistic it isn't worth wasting your time. I swear your posting at me like im guaranteeing a series win lol.

Lol its all good, I like our chances no matter what he says lol. Martinook isn't our leading scorer svechnikov is healthy, we have a ton of added grit.

Yes we might lose nothing shocking there but whining and being pessimistic prior to a series starting yeah lol. They deserved it last year completely underperformed and got clocked. I didnt expect anything this year so WIN or LOSE its a successful year.... Last year was an all in year and we bombed. That said I like our chances this year the canes will come to play against Florida i promise you that, referencing two years ago when Martinook was our leading playoff scorer and Thackuk was playing out of his mind and them having Gudas knocking our already walking wounded out is yesterday's news. I think every game of this series will be tight.... we have the size this year that we simply didnt have then.... Hopefully it makes a difference!

Eeeh I dont want him... I'd rather have Provorov or Ekblad to replace Burns. If they are insistent on a forward Bennet or Elhers

They will try to run it back watch lol only way they dont is if marner chooses to walk

Biggest choke artist team of the millennium so far not surprised they choked again

Do us a favor and just quit watching now since its already over to you. Lol

Funny edit and no that's still Vassi.... lets also ignore the fact hes been a .900 and 2.8 gaa goalie this POST season. 2 cups >>>> 1

I'm sure you will because you are a whiny pessamist of a fan who posts 90% negative. Heck it will be 0-0 after 1 and you will be acting like its the end of the world lol. I guarantee you we won't be down 3-0 at any point in game one.... This is the ECF there are no EASY OUTS to be the best you got to beat the best. Yep they did a number on our complete depleted team two years ago and managed 4 one goal victories....

3-0 leafs fold like a cheap tent! Bring on the Champs! Gotta beat the best

Let's go CANES have to hold serve on home ice games 1 & 2 Canes should be much better rested.

See you in Raleigh Tuesday Panthers! We were 1-2 agaist them regular (which doesnt matter) but still we lost with Martin and Perrets in net and won with kochetkov.... They haven't faced Freddie.
