The team that wins game five takes the series 78% of the time big win! The Canes have come up big in clutch games this season.

This is a bit of a different year because we have played only the predators for good part of two months. Both teams know each other about as well as they can. Its just a war of attrition at this point.

Was a late night for sure.

But, again, while we're all talking about the Canes not playing their game and allowing Nashville to dictate the pace, etc., I'm gonna continue throwing sh!t at the refs, which have been horrible the entire series. A non-stop list of missed and bad calls that change the pace of the game away from Carolina every time they get something going.

How do you win a game 4-2 in OT? From a complete bullsh!t call that took away the tying goal. That didn't work, so call a terrible holding penalty on Foegele in OT might have helped Nashville. Too many men on the ice twice in the 3rd period by Nashville not called. Martinook tripped right in front of the net, not called. High stick to Aho's head in the middle of the ice was completely ignored. And that's just the 3rd period!

Fug 'em. Goalie interference, my ass. But the first Trenin goal was from a high stick up around his shoulders, so unless he's only 4 feet tall, there's no way that stick was below the cross bar. Hell, it finished above his head.

Oh, and let's not forget today Dougie question: When the fug is he gonna use his size to impose his will on players who want to take shots at his team mates? How come we never see him in the scrum? 

Its crystal clear they want Nashville to win. They have been pushing them ahead all series. Its mind numbing.

Only way to guarantee a win is to dominate TOP and choke out every ounce of hope by not giving into the bs Nashville is trying. Once they stopped trying to play Nashville's game and got back to good spacing and puck movement, we looked great. Haula and Benning I think got to them a bit and got them tilty. Saros also being on his game is frustrating. Get tons of good looks and he's giving nothing up, gotta be demoralizing. Never seen so many wide shots by our guys in a single period like that third.

Too busy waxing his chest.

If we get out of this series I just hope we get our poo together. I was honestly expecting to dominate the Preds and show we were one of the favorites. 

Very, very, very, very concerned about that now.

I'll be honest. After game 1, I knew we were gonna sweep the Preds. Losing Slavin hurt, but this is a different Nashville team.

Here's hoping we can take game 6 in regulation. I don't know if Pesce and Skjei can handle another OT game.

I'm not too worried because the refs gave the Preds at least 1 game. We should've been able to win the 2nd game in Nashville but the refs gifted them 2 points. Last night should've been the end to the series.

Yeah, I mean I know we are getting hosed but we can't assume that hosing is gonna stop after round 1.

      Possible, he is physical and a forchecker but not a needle mover, but i wouldnt mind it, although I think we have enough 4th line grinders right now between Carrier Robinson and Janakowski  down there, i actually really love our 4th line.            We need scoring in the top 6, and a RHD at this point its definitely coming via trade.            Rasmus Andersson I hear may be on the market, it feels like every couple of seasons someone links us to Erik Karlsson.       As far as centers go,  Marco Rossi (even though we have a ton of smurf already)     Jordan Kyrou is an intriguing option if he is available.           At this point i think Rod should just move Jarvis to his natural center position to give us a 1B center...   yes hes also a smurf but he plays way bigger than he is stylistically.

      The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.
