Wow Paul had them ready to play tonight. We just literally beat the crap out of the islanders. Out shot them by 45 shots.... damn! Phili is just barely beating Florida... and the anouncer had the gull to say he wants to play carolina because we have been hot so long he thinks were going to trend downward in the first round. I hope we get them and sweep em!!! What a game... Go Canes!

f*** that announcer, the last thing you want to run into in the playoffs is a red hot goal tender i.e cam ward. that has to the most retarded statment iv'e ever heard!

Has someone just pissed off the state of North Carolina this week? What is with these back to back blowouts, first UNC now the Canes?

While I don't agree with that announcer about wanting to play the Canes, I can at least understand the sentiment. A lot of times, the red hot teams do fizzle when the playoffs start. When we won the Stanley Cup, the Devils were the team that was on fire, as they had won something like 15 straight games. In the first game against them, we destroyed them and won the series 4-1.

I think the Canes are better than that though, and while they may not stay THIS hot, they can turn this into a great playoff run.

Some notes on yesterday's game. A lot of records were set...

- Eric Staal set a team record with his fourth hat trick in the season.

- Cam Ward set two team records with his 39th win and sixth shutout of the year.

- The 9-0 loss was the worst in Islander history.

- The 57-12 shot differential was the most in team history.

- The nine game winning streak tied a team record, which was set twice...by the Stanley Cup winning team from 05/06.

The only way this win couldve been better is if Conboy had gotten his first NHL goal....I think he is trying to hard..Too bad philly pulled out the win. We have two to go, they have 3

IF we tie the flyers in points, we should get the fourth seed b/c we would have more wins??

Am i correct on this?

No. Philly would still get it because of the head to head record against us. Man, this is gonna be interesting...my wife is a Flyers fan....haha.

What an asskicking. So much for that let-down game, this team is playing amazing right now. Such a treat to watch.

4. The greater differential between goals for and against for the entire regular season.
