Boy this team sure sucked a fat one in the ECF......................again.

I just don’t agree.  We lost this series by 4 goals. Our boys were hit, punched, and kicked and they kept fighting. They continued to show grit and determination.  I know the history, and trust me I’m pissed at the situation, but this team didn’t suck.

All year we knew we needed someone to help on the powerplay at least. Not doing anything, I knew our chances of winning it all had plummeted. 

I think the pp would improve immensely from addition by subtraction aka handing Jeff Daniels them walking papers.

I don’t think so. Got swept by what, 4 goals collectively. Would a healthy Svech and patches move the needle in this series? I say maybe. The burden of blame falls on the front office. 10 million in cap space for Poolparry and Ghost is a gross reality in hindsight. Big changes needed in the off-season. See y’all in October. 

I agree, this team played hard and through a lot of adversity in this series and lost by one goal each game with almost every ticky tack call going against them, all the injuries, playing two guys who were or would have been in the AHL (Mac and Drury) if we were healthy....nah I am not down on the team at all.

Ghost was pretty bad in the ECF, he doesn't deserve to get a big $$$ contract but he will it just won't be from us.  Pool Party doesn't know what he's supposed to be, I think Edmonton fugged him up.  I think he needs to learn to play some good D with his size and be a third liner with some scoring potential.  He looked lost in our "system."

Patches and Svech and good health for our other players would have made this series different.  Just bad luck!

Every game was a 1 goal loss. Florida’s season is going to end exactly like it did in 1996. Vegas is a much stronger team. Bobrovsky finally showed the goalie I always thought he was and gave up 3 goals tonight. Have fun with that Florida, you aren’t winning the Stanley cup.

Changes have to be made in the offseason, I don’t see Dundon being patient much longer.

A.K.A. Rod has to be forced to fire Daniels.

Hope Bettman slips and falls on the ice. Fuging dickhead.

Like I said it’s obvious they want a Vegas Florida series. What they don’t expect is Vegas is going to wipe the floor with them. I highly expect rod to wipe the floor with the NHL next season. Aho maybe off bettmen himself.

Yes Rod has to fire Daniels. We are also at the point of Rod`s career where he cant be clingy to certain players and realize where we have to make moves at.

Bottom line: Every fanbase but one has this feeling every season. For some teams' fans, this despair starts sinking in around January. I don't miss those days!

Yeah, we're all pissed! But, we made it damn near to June before feeling this way. Our team staved it off longer than all but 2 others.

Twas a hell of a season boys and girls!

The hurricanes absolutely do not suck. They suck in the eastern conference finals for some reason though 

if this team had a top 8 power play they’d be in the mix for the cup every year 

[KillerKat]

Nah Im not happy about the season. We didnt exceed expectations. We were supposed to win the Cup. We all knew this for over a year. Waddell not helping the team out at the TDL sunk us. Bottom line. We have had 4 years of prior evidence of what happens to us in the playoffs. We run into a series where we cant score and the other team is more physical than us and not afraid to be because we cant score on the powerplay and we may lose 1 or 2 more guys because of it. Then we exit. Yet we did nothing to help the team and it happened again.

I ain’t watching a single second of the cup. The NHL wants to manipulate poo. Do a better job. That was clearly goaltender interference. 
 

And I said if cheer for Vegas but fug that poo. Even my hockey hating lady said that was obviously between the legs.

Sounds like a Jeff Daniels thing to me. 
 

The pp sucked with Svech healthy and has for a long time. You cannot tell me a PP with the skill of Svech, turbo, Aho, Jarvis, necas, etc. should be scoring at less than a 20% clip.

They literally need to hire a power play expert coach. The canes power play is like embarrassingly bad

With Svechnikov and Pacioretti we would have won this series handily. Without them we got what Waddell didn’t pay for at the TDL.  Proud the boys made it this far.
