No word on our refs yet. But it won’t be Rank and Garrett again. They are up in Boston.

Honestly not sure it matters It wouldn't shock me if the Isles fail to score a PP goal in this entire series even if they get five chances a game....

And on the flip side the Canes will probably convert at least 1 of 3.

 

The refs care more about keeping penalty calls even and "policing games" than actually calling correct penalties.

I wonder if Lemieux needs to be in tonight? I have a feeling the goons will be out tonight.

I don't think the Isles go goon, they did last year because our PP was as bad as theirs this season we can and will make them pay nothing loses this series faster for them than gooning it up....  I hope they do

Once a goon always a goon. It just depends on when it comes out. It did a bit in the third last game.

I’d rather Lemuix be there just in case they do. I still have nightmares from Svech, falling and getting the concussion fighting Ovechkin. Albeit, Svech is probably 30lbs heavier now.

You’ll see more physicality in this game for sure.

The Pisles were sixth in the regular season in hits and I’m shocked that they weren’t more physical in our opening game.

No matter, as long as the hits are legal I don’t care because being overtly physical can sometimes put a team in a bad spot defensively when they are focused more of making a hit and less on making the right play. We saw this exact situation occur in the Caps/Rags series and it led to a Rags goal.

It’s the same Lineups as before.
