Just win game 3. In game 4, at the puck drop, beat the living crap out of whoever is in front of you (make sure King Kooch is in goal, he looks like he would enjoy smacking folks around). Take all the penalties, win game 5 at home.

That would be justice if we had fighters like Svech.  Even better I believe would be to win both games and the series right there in front of their crying fans.

I love playoff hockey- there is no other professional sport that comes close to the excitement of the NHL post-season. It's a different brand of game and the refs allow for a lot more than the regular season. That being said, there is absolutely no place for some of the incidents that took place last night.

The high stick on Aho was one thing- it was a legit hockey play and a penalty was called. However, coincidental with that hit was the head shot that went uncalled.

The Martin hit on Staal from behind, then holding him down on the ice should have been a game misconduct and, at the very least, deserves a 1-game suspension.

The Pageau slash that broke TT's hand was an obvious penalty and there was clearly no attempt to make a play on the puck. It was a deliberate chop on the hands that should also get the league's attention.

We'll see.

    • Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.
    • Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
    • You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
