Carolina Hurricanes vs Boston Bruins ECF Game 1. 5/9 8pm

This should be a fantastic series. We have our work cut out for us against Boston. If the Canes can recapture their momentum and bring the same level of intensity that they brought in the first two rounds we've got a good chance. Its very important to flip home ice as everyone knows. Looks like were getting healthy. Ferland really needs to have some impact in this series. We really need him to be physical yet discipline.  Expect Staal to step up big.

Last game against Boston was a good game and a close loss when Faulk lost the puck behind his own net which led to the score. Lately Faulk has found his game however and I expect some retribution. Expect Svech to get tested physically maybe with some dirty plays. If he can overcome that and plays well...I think we will win.

Take Warning.

Let's go CANES!!!! 

 

Also McAvoy will probably be suspended game 1 for a hit from last series with cbj

Was able to listen to a little bit of NHL radio, the consensus sounds like 1 game. 

I haven’t seen the hit yet. Need to look it up. 

Just looked it up, honestly chara should be the one taking the suspension. He hooked him, then followed through with the butt of his stick after McAvoy left his feet. 

There was a lot of talk about that being a “Hockey Hit” on the radio. I call BS. He left his feet.

We are going to have to play fast against these guys.

This is a ugly dirty team...I hate we are playing them as they seem classless to me.  Much rather play the CBJ.  But we have upset both teams so far, hopefully we can keep the momentum going this round and keep injuries to a minimum.

Worse than Washington?

Boston and Washington are the two most physical teams I've seen in the playoffs.  I think this series will be similar to round 1, just without Ovechkin.  I think we certainly can win it, but it will be a tough series.

    • Outside of cerrato, I do like our draft overall. Hard to get can't miss draft picks when you pick late in the draft
    • Very True--and I am a former HS English teacher.  
    • Not a Moore fan-but he had a few good games last year-but I want players that scare you--Renfrow's route running and intelligence, Legette's size, speed, and strength, AT's intelligence and route running, Coker's body control, strong hands, and abilty to win contested catches, and TMac's size, body control, and ability to find soft spots in zone coverages.  Horn gives them the ability to stretch the field and he plays special teams.   Moore has a nice smile and can dance.  He filled in well last season, but to get better as a team, you have to upgrade your players.  I think Moore is a bottom of the roster guy who got bumped when we drafted 2 WRs and signed a legit free agent.  Here is the thing--TMac makes us better because he is great against the zone--man?  Good luck with that.  AT's role can be reduced, and that is probably a good thing.  He can specialize in situational football. Coker?  Just getting started. XL?  Just getting started.  Drafting TMac was probably a bit of a wake up call, but XL will be better as the 2. Renfrow?  I see him splitting reps with AT--keeping both fresh and giving different looks. Horn?  Watch the safety cheat his side when he is in the game--I see a young Steve Smith type in him, but he has yet to play a game.  I hear that Morgan loves him.
