This Calgary/Edmonton game is fuging insane.

This is why I love our Canes, Calgary has gone completely outside their system to score and this is what you get..... Edmonton  an score but have holes all over their roster.

 

It's funny that all of the Canadian teams who made the playoffs were always all offense or one that stopped playing system hockey to run up a score.

I mean, it's fun to watch as long as your team isn't getting shelled like that.

It’s fun… but you can never make the NHL into a score fest. Then it’s just boring in the playoffs. Hockey in the playoffs should be 0-0, 1-1 2-2.

To anyone complaining about our game last night go back and watch the Lightnings games during the past two years they won two cups playing 2-1, 3-2 and 1-0 games that's the reality of the NHL playoffs.... Teams that have lots of guys with tons of points and goals are rush based offensive teams.... They almost never succeed in the playoffs.

Eh....IDC about the amount of goals scored, just if the games are good. I also don't want to see any good Hurricanes games. I will take as many comfortable 3+ goal victories as possible.

Issue with Florida is they aren’t getting any depth scoring right now, they are a one line team.

The only line that is producing is Verhaeghe - Barkov - Giroux.

Additionally, they only have four guys with five plus points in the postseason (the lowest total out of the remaining playoff teams). Essentially, if you shut down the line above and don’t let Ekblad get shots from the point then you don’t have much to worry about.

Guys like Huberdeau, Reinhart, Duclair, and Bennett have gone MIA.

They were able to sneak by Washington because Washington’s goaltending is average.

I’d dare say that if they don’t get secondary scoring then they would lose a series to both Tampa and Carolina as well as New York.

This statement is quite literally the proof of concept for why I was telling people we don't need 50 goal guys or 3 3 40 goal guys... Great teams will neutralize your top line..... there are 18 skaters balance is much harder to beat in the playoffs.

    • OL then RB would make heads explode but its might not be too unlikely 
    • Wonder if we draft a RB. Seems like a lot of eggs in Brooks’ basket right now.  And the OL, no kidding. If that running game goes to hell with what we have at QB, you can forget competing. It is so much more important than sticking another wideout on the field. Take your wideout later. 
    • I have lots of different thoughts on it. This argument, the primary thing is I don’t like seeing him or anyone, being convicted on hearsay and/or pure speculation. Which some are doing.  I don’t care That much about defending Morgan as I do about the criticism being fair minded.    You sort of assert that Dan was just a yes man. I don’t think we know if he ever pushed back against Fitterer but I have this instinct thing that needs me to satisfy the question of: if Tepper was so down on a Fitterer as to fire him, why in the world would he hire his carbon copy? I guess maybe he wanted a yes man.Like I said, lots of different thoughts.     I am just not gonna judge him that harshly based only on speculation. I am sticking with what he has done starting when he was hired as GM. Maybe I am more lenient because the first season for him and Canales, I gave both a pass. Said I would judge them after the first year. Stuck to it. If you can get to the reality that neither were ready for the job and say okay give them a year get their feet wet, it looks a lot better.    And we are not bound to Bryce yet. Yes, for yet another fuging year he can probably marginally improve and slide by like he has been doing. But if they add even more people and he regresses? I think we could see some relief.    The QB room? As I understand it, Pickett was Canales’ choice. If we need to blame people for poo. In a sense, he is very Bryce like. So makes a good plug in. I get that a little bit. We still have the draft. If they do better than Jake Plummer or Hooker I’ll know they are trying.
