The truth is the Rangers had won 3 games by 1 goal, two of which were in OT. It's an extremely close series and the luck has FINALLY swung back the Canes way before it was too late. One game at a time

It’s only close because of special teams. We’d have won this series by now if our PP/PK were even close to our regular season numbers. We are so much fuging better 5v5. They have goaltending and special teams, both of which can be volatile. 1 game at a time but we have ourselves a series now.

Shitstirkin might finally be out of gas. He's been incredible in this series but they don't rest him and they broke him the last two games. Rangers definitely looked gassed in the third period while the Canes looked like they found the will to play another game. If they can put together another game like that third period looked I like their chances in Game 6 at home.

This is a product of facing 100 shot attempts a game 5 games in a row.

PNC is going to be rocking on Thursday. This is going 7 where all pressure will be on NY to not blow a 3-0 lead.

They looked completely shell shocked tonight.....

We take game 6 and somehow manage to start fast in game 7 and it's on....

 

I just don't see the Canes losing Thursday

I really think the key is to just play smart, sound hockey during the first couple of periods and maybe we get a couple of bounces.

It’s hard to keep leads and the last thing we need to do is expend a bunch of energy to only be up by one. The Rangers spent a lot of energy early to only be up by one and the Canes conserved a bunch of energy then annihilated New York in the third.

This is very similar to how Florida plays.

You need great goalie play or elite shot blocking to play that style. Our biggest problem is we forecheck so much, that our defense gets caught flat-footed and gives other teams odd man breaks way too much.

    • Some national praise for Stankonia this fine morning... NHL playoff breakouts: 6 players opening eyes with their postseason performance Stankoven had an absolutely dominant Game 1 against Ottawa. At five-on-five, the team went up 19-5 in shot attempts, 2-0 in scoring, and earned a 93 percent xG rate in his minutes. Stankoven’s seven shot attempts and overall efforts helped contribute to 2.17 of the Canes’ 3.16 expected goals at five-on-five. ... After earning two primary points on the Canes’ goals on Saturday, he saved a goal in Game 2 that almost slipped over the line (and likely would have changed the tone of the game early), and added another of his own. 15 early takes from Round 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs 5. Stankoven’s a dawg The Hurricanes have a lot of dawgs — Martinook is one too — but Logan Stankoven deserves the title in his own way. Three goals through two games, not afraid of the moment, and his line with Taylor Hall and Jackson Blake is relentless. They’ve got an expected goal rate around 75 per cent at 5-on-5 so far. ***Bonus Round*** 4. Tkachuk has to settle into the moment Last Ottawa thought is that they’ve got lots of guys going. Tim Stutzle is all over it, Drake Batherson, Ridly Greig, these guys should’ve scored more than they have, but it’s like there’s a forcefield at the net. However, Brady Tkachuk hasn’t been on the ice for a goal for yet, and to me, it’s because he’s just so damn over-eager. He looks like he’s in a fist-fight with the puck out there and it’s blowing up on his stick way too often. He needs the opposite of smelling salts pre-game. He needs a chai tea and a fiction novel in the dressing room. He’s one of the rare guys you’d like to see calm down, rather than rev up.
    • I am already mad about the pick.
    • I definitely want a DT as versatile as McD. (Trade back) I am not into McNeil-Warren because I (for some reason) see him as a run stuffer more than a center fielder.  Not interested in Sadiq because I think a TE in round 1 is a waste of a first rounder, and I lke Iheanachor, but not round 1.  I think it might be WR or OT--
