Numbers to Know

1: Games 3 and 4 marked the first time in franchise history that the Canes played multi-overtime postseason games. Game 4 surpassed Game 3 as the second-longest playoff game in franchise history.

13: McGinn's second goal of Game 4, scored 13 seconds into the third period, is the fastest goal from the start of a period in franchise postseason history.

3: Jaccob Slavin has missed the last three games with a lower-body injury, and his status remains a game-time decision for Game 5.

"I'm hopeful he'll try tomorrow," head coach Rod Brind'Amour said on Monday. "He'll tell us when he feels good.""

I'll start a GoFundMe account if that's what it takes to get Hamilton to play some fugging defense tonite and show us all why he should remain the head blue-liner on this team.

But, in the end, you know what? I'm good with Slavin, Pesce, Skjei, Hakanpaa. Bean needs some work and we can find another defenseman or 2 for the amount of money Dougie wants.

I'm as big of a Ned fan as there is but asking for 5 in a row with 2 being 2OT games is asking a lot. I know he'll give it everything but man, that's a lot to put on him. But I also don't trust Reims and not sure Petr is 100%.

Rod trying to makeup the difference in games for Ned in the Vezina race...

Only thing I got.

I think Mraz would crush this series. But they want to give Ned the head to head vs. Saros.

I'm a lot more confident in a W with JS on the ice...
