Jersey is not working harder, our passes are not crisp and Jersey is jumping. I expect this will cost Jersey in the next game.

This, they know their season is on the line today. They are jumping and pinching, this will bode well for us moving forward.

We are not playing a physical team this year like the Rangers were last year. We played that team (the islanders) last series. We can match speed with speed for the most part. We have clearly been the more physical team against the devils and they don’t like it. I loved Dougie as a cane, but he wants no part of the physical game, so Burns is a cut above Hamilton if you ask me. We just have to keep on the forecheck and limit their chances. If we do that I like our chances. I do not believe we will sweep them so just take it one game at a time.

I was at the game, and honestly I felt the refs just let it play on both sides. However, if a player loses his helmet and continues to play that is a penalty, they never called it. I couldn’t see who it was that was trying to lay on top of Burns and make love to him, but that should have been a penalty. Other than that, I felt it was even. Though the first tripping penalty against us was funny, Burns did clip his skate, then the devils player made two moves on his own, then fell down (it really wasn’t a penalty).

I did and cursed the refs for no helmet no penalty, insane.

Great seats, near the head and storm brew stall. Go canes.

Which one of you did this?

I can’t stop laughing. I wonder if that AI works for the porn Industry?

These refs are terrible. Wave the goal, then decline the Trouba penalty, wow. I hope someone destroys Trouba, dirty SOB. Easy to see the fix is in, I expect a few more calls against the Devils to help the rangers out.

Browns option picked up.

Bwhahahaha love it. Now retire Marchand.

lol fug Boston. 2-0 Florida! lol

Raanta is still getting his drawers sown back together.

Year after year in the post season, teams abuse us and we get no calls. It is just common practice at this point. Jarvis and Drury are fast but small, and I expect one or both to be out in the playoffs from here out.

Young is not a lefty, but he reminds me so much of Steve Young. I hope he can be as elusive and mobile.

Yep I think next year 2024 will be the year we make a run. Dalton will have us competing but we have no ceiling if Young plays and stays healthy. I have no doubt teams will try to test Young, and rough him up.

ESPN commentary may be the most biased commentary of any sport I have ever watched. I have Bally but wanted to see what ESPN was saying, boy what a horrible crew. I hope they are wearing their Islanders gear, fugging putrid.

Necas is horrible with the puck, insanely bad.

I wonder if the hurricanes lead the league in no goals after scoring?

I think they are saving for the third myself, the Islanders that is.

Insane. I already read that the Islanders are claiming they have the loudest arena. I could have sworn I read an article this year that stated PNC was the loudest NHL venue, I did and it was on Oct 7, 2022. Islander fans are delusional. https://www.visitraleigh.com/plan-a-trip/visitraleigh-insider-blog/post/carolina-hurricanes-in-game-music-dj-pnc-arena/#:~:text=PNC Arena is known as,to 19%2C000 very vocal fans.

Any word on Drury?

On paper it looks that way, but something tells me we owe them from last year. They just don’t seem as heavy on hits, as last year. We need to drub Trouba though, I haven’t forgot about Jarvis.

Boy the Islander fans are screaming bloody murder on a missed high stick call in overtime against Martinook. They are stating that the refs gifted us this game. The islanders came to play physical and punish Carolina, 54 hits says a lot. Pesce, Aho were cut, and Turbo broke a hand. Funny how fandom changes how you process facts. The Islanders should have been called for at least 2 or 3 more PPs and maybe even a major on the Staal hit. I hope we can at least steal one game in NY, if so I feel good about moving on. However, the Rags will play just as heavy, it is why NJ will not win their series.

Man the islanders doubled us up on hits. Those are body blows, hope we don’t slow down. We need a few days rest.
