This one has the recipe for a let down game. I dont believe Paul Maurice would let that happen, but it sure does have that familiar look. A team thats playing for nothing vs a team thats trying to get home ice advantage. Cam Ward is in goal tonight I hope if we get a few goals up they pull him and give Leighton at least a period behind net. Heres to us winning ang Phili losing. Go Canes!

Hockey isn't like football man. If we go up, Cam is staying in no matter what. He is riding an incredible hot streak right now and you don't do ANYTHING to disrupt that momentum. He isn't gonna get tired down the stretch, trust me. This kind of situation is what goalies train their entire lives for. Besides that, Brodeur is his idol and he averages 75 games a year. I have no doubt Cam will be ok even if he doesn't get a rest from here on out. GO CANES!!!

I've never been a huge Cam Ward supporter, but he is now showing signs of what I've always known he COULD be...a solid everyday goalie. In the past, he's only been able to play well when there is something on the line. Now, he's playing well on a nightly basis, and he doesn't seem to be letting up.

If you can get the "important game" effort out of Cam Ward on a nightly basis, he is a scary matchup for opponents.

3-0 now, at the end on the first :) This is the kind of Canes team that I likes. One that plays well and beats the poo out of an opponent when they are supposed to. You're supposed to be playing like this against the worst team in the NHL...and it's a refreshing change from the past few seasons to see it happening.

      Fun fact

      Canes vs Canadians Gm 3 Rd 3 8pm

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I was reading through the thread seeing if someone would mention this. This is exactly what the Canes are doing and Tripp Tracy alluded to it on the Spittin Chiclets podcast when he said Taylor Hall was our Sam Bennett. The Canes and Panthers have always played identical with the main difference being Florida toes the line between physical and dirty. The Canes have stepped up the physical play this year and are inching closer to that line of physical and dirty. If I’m being honest, as a Montreal fan I wouldn’t love the fact that the Canes seem to be targeting Hutson but as a Canes fan I love it because this is what you have to do in the playoffs. Unfortunately for Montreal they aren’t an overly physical team outside of Anderson and Xhekaj; only the Avs, Stars, and Sabres average less hits per game than Canadians in the playoffs. The Canadians can still make this a series if they stop playing scared and turning the puck over simply because they are getting elite goaltending while the Canes are getting average goaltending but if the Habs continue to play with the yips and either Andersen steps up or Dobes regresses then this series could end in five.
