Will be interesting to see how the Caps adjust. They were thoroughly beaten in this game despite it going to OT and they knew it by getting chippy. If they lose game 2 they’re in a hole they might not be able to dig themselves out of. They played old and tired tonight and I think they might get swept. 

I'm not sure they can adjust.... the Canes team speed and forecheck just overwhelmed them.... This was on the road were the canes have had trouble establishing the forecheck in past playoffs.....

In Raleigh we're we line match.... yeah this series the canes are taking.

 

If we take game 2 I think the brooms come out.

Taking game 2 will be a challenge, you know Caps will bring thir best. Canes hit the iron 5 times in game 1 yet won, if they bring the same mojo for game 2 pucks will go in for a Canes win.

Although we dont have as much "firepower" as year past this Canes team has somthing we didn't have in years past which is size in the lower 6 that gives us two legit checking lines....  

In years past we only had the Staal line and on the road we would hemorrhage chances because we couldn't match them up like at home..   I firmly believe our poor regular season road woes were due to who we had in goal... 

19 road losses with a combination of Kochetkov,Tokarski and Martin in net..  

3 with Anderson (all coming at the end of the year when let's be honest we weren't trying to win)

We even have more size on the first two lines because of how Rod is playing them right now. 

Svechnikov is on line 1 with Aho and Blake

Hall and KK on line 2 with Tankoven

The MSJ line 

Forth line with Robinson, Jankowski and Carrier. 

 

They've got size on all 4 lines and it showed last night for sure.

I more or less meant "top 6 players" not were they were playing but yeah the size and physically paid dividends.

This might be my favorite quote from game 1. 

 

"the Hurricanes seem to have it for stretches long enough that you could get up out of your seat, wait in line for popcorn, hit the restroom and get back to the stands — and not miss a Capitals appearance in the offensive zone."

    • I pay it no mind I am what people would deride as xenophobic.  Meaning I preferred what we were doing in America and thought we had about the best sports and music. Actually we did.  I saw soccer as inferior and as the game of heathens to be honest, some of those third world countries were all about it. They’re all rioting and fighting and I even remember Saddam Hussein was said to have had players executed for not playing well. You can keep that lol.  Bring it back to the Panthers, XL you better tighten it up. Tepper will put it on you .  We have the best sports and music I’ll just say it again. I hate to see youths losing interest in football and baseball. sorry back to the Panthers     
    • I think anyone around here at this point is truly a fan (or masochist) and yet another disappointing season doesn’t matter. Where’s that converted Jets fan lol…wonder if this is worse or better. But I remember when this joint first started (third username) and it was much busier. Even when places like Reddit started taking over in place of forums. My newish girl didn’t have a NFL team but liked college football and loves watching. Last year I got Her a Panther shirt she wears on game days. She was excited. But I’ll be damned it’s near impossible to get anyone to be a fan of this team, she says now they just aren’t exciting despite still watching with me and wearing her shirt. Tepper is just pure poo.
    • Oh man I didn't know Dalton finished up the game in garbage time and got that last 7 points lol. Watching the replay I know backups were in but that resembled something closer to actual NFL football than the first 3 and a half quarters.
