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.

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.

    • It’s a fan message board. Fans are going to debate players. Especially the QB. I hope no one is genuinely upset about any of the dialogue on here. 
    • Teddy Bridgewater was a check down QB….saying that doesn’t mean that he literally can’t and won’t throw downfield in a season.  Bryce Young was never drafted to be big armed downfield passer.  I don’t get those out defending him when it’s pointed out that he just  isn’t that.   And finding a game or two where he goes downfield doesn’t change much.  Because all QBs eventually go downfield.  Just like a Delhomme or Favre will play it safe in some random games.  Doesn’t mean they aren’t gunslingers that got gambling in their DNA. 
    • Yeah, Fitzgerald was smart to sign with the panthers--not sure how many NFL teams were in the Market....I was surprised to see Morgan re-sign Tuttle and Ray--even if Ray's contract is completely unguaranteed--but with Brown, Wharton, Brown III, Robinson, Cam Jackson--maybe Crumedy--Tuttle could be excellent depth--but at DE, not DT, imo.  Once again, it appears that Morgan may have found UDFAs who have a shot making the team--last year, there were 2 who contributed in a meaningful way.  This year, I see CBs Thornton and Reid with a legitimate shot to make the roster.  I also think LB Nomura has a legit shot (Morgan has to love this guy) as well as LB Bam Martin Smith from USC.  Finally, I think one of the safeties will stick. In all, I expect 1-2 CBs, 1 LB, 1 S, 1 OL, 1 K to make this team. Predictions:   CBs Thornton and Reid make the 53-man roster.  LB Tuasivi Nomura makes the 53-man roster as a ST ace and ILB depth OL Michael Tarquin may make the roster to groom as a potential RT replacement for Moton.  Moton, BC, and Nijman are on expiring contracts.  While I like what I am hearing about Kandra, the OG room is very crowded.  Lewis, Hunt, Zavala, Kingston--but he could compete for the 4th G job. S:  Trevian Thomas, Isaac Gifford are probably the front runners, but Jack Henderson from Minnesota might be able to win a S spot as well.  I expect all three will not make the 53, but the darkhorse name to watch is Henderson. Henderson's Pro day: Minnesota DB Jack Henderson had arguably the BEST overall workout of any Safety in this entire draft: 40yd. 4.47 vertical. 40” Broad. 10’8” Shuttle. 4.15 3cone. 6.70 Bench. 12
