Hopefully NJ used all their stamina that 1st ot. They definitely played faster than us 

They are the desperate ones.... they are the ones with there backs against the wall..... ironically we look far faster on the PK

That sucks

[PleaseCutStewart]

That hurts

Cant keep playing like poo in OT and expect to come out victorious.

[DavidEng]

Canes just had no gas. Bah humbug.

[PantherChris]

Ehhh beat them in five

Really don’t understand how we didn’t show up for a single minute of the overtimes after fighting back from 2-0.

Damn 

[PleaseCutStewart]

As good as we looked game 1, we have not looked good the last 2 games

Poor oilers gotta have the worst goalies in the playoffs 

Getting walloped by the Kings is some kind of curse of the gretzskyrino poo

This isn't true.

The PK looked great and had several good chances

Yeah it is. The ice was tilted in their favor the whole time. Why were we killing so many penalties in the first place?

I HATE the way RBA manages goalies in the playoffs.

Pyotr should have been in goal for this game. Not a slight against Freddie (he played great) but why not take advantage of the long break between Games 2 and 3 and put Pyotr in net for a game that doesn’t matter?

With Pyotr in net for game 3, what’s the worst that can happen? The Devils win? Which you’re suppose to win at home anyway. Best case? Canes steal one on the road.

Now we’re looking at either starting Pyotr in a higher pressure game or starting Freddie for his fourth game in a row. Disastrous decision making that is, quite frankly, idiotic.

Great third period aside, we need to rise to the occasion on the road. Next game should be a goalie switch for both so, God help us if Koochie is rusty. 

 

I did say we'd split the NJ games. Just can't let them even the series on us. That is recipe for disaster.
