I think this style game is better for us. The Caps series was such a physical grind. Nice to not see crunching hits every second

Or slashes, or cross checks, or elbows

What are they? For reference I just got tickets for Sunday in NY upper level by our end first row for $167 including stubhub fees. I didn’t think that was too bad for a second round game. Our home tickets way more?

$165 for last row in PNC. Thats with the TM fee tacked on.

We've gotta start attacking more and getting out of our zone

Leaving too many one-on-ones for Mrzak.

They changed the camera angle. I liked it the way it was. Could see everything.

Barclays isn't meant for hockey. I haven't seen a game there yet but I've read that one of the ends is basically cut off.

Might have to do with the angle. Canes might have a shot, as the smaller Nassau arena (where the Isles played R1) is their old arena and feels more like home. Then again ... the crowd sounds pretty loud.

teams look a lot more evenly matched than the first series. good guys aren’t chasing the play at all.

[KillerKat]

Terrible attempt by McKegg on that break away

[tryptich]

A game like this with no score you definitely don't want to give them a power play, but he almost had to there. 

[Mother Grabber]

it just feels like the ice is going to break soon, and we’ll end up 3-2

Yeah that’s a fair difference. First row vs last row in the upper levels is considerable. Tough for fans going but also good to see the fan base supports that ticket market.
