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.

      Canes vs Canadians Gm 4 Rd 3 8pm

      By KillerKat · Posted

      When we have everyone playing like they should, we can win the Cup. That has been the biggest problem when we get to the playoffs, but this year seems to be fixed mostly. We could have had multiple if we had done this in the past.

      Here we go Bryce Stan’s you should love this. Hell it may be one of you.  It has every cliche excuse and then some.  Unintentionally hilarious my limit was reached when he said Bryce had it hard because four play callers.

      JJ & Luke, episode 8

      By csx · Posted

      Luke goes in to the specifics of what he looked to accomplish in joint practices.  Basically they may work with someone on the opposing team to stress something they feel is a weakness in their own game in a different way that can be done with someone they are familiar with. That they can have predetermined stresses but since neither wants to get injured and it has absolutely no bearing on anything there is not the level of concern that would be in a preseason game.  He would also even chat with opposing OC.   It seems like an interesting nuance among the vets and savy pros.
