Carolina defeats the defending Stanley Cup Champions for the third consecutive time this season and lead the series 3-0. Jiri Tlusty screens Tim Thomas for two of the three full strength goals and Staal adds the empty netter to continue his impressive scoring streak to 5 games. Ward continues to face more pucks than anyone else and only his outstanding ability to keep those pucks out of the net allowed the Canes to win. Harrison's strong wrist shot from the blue line helped, too.

The Storm Squad is happy and that makes everyone very happy.

Goals: Dwyer, Faulk, Harrison, Staal.

Assists: Sutter, Brent.

WIN: Wardo LOSS: Thomas

Stops-SOG: Ward - 33-35 (.943), Thomas 17-20 (.850)

Penalties:

CAR 3 (Allen - slashing, Staal - elbowing, Samson - tripping)

BOS 1 (Lucic - slashing)

My 3 stars:

3: Ward

2: Faulk (goal, +2)

1: Harrison (game winning goal, +2)

HM: Tlusty - was a constant presence in front of Thomas and the goal. Thomas is an elite goalie and the best way to score is with traffic in his face. Tlusty seemed to plant himself there when the Canes were on the attack and his efforts sealed the win.

BOXSCORE

It just makes no sense to me how we're not having a good year but can beat the defending Stanley Cup Champs 3 times in a row.

We are a really streaky team this year. IDK. Some nights our passing is on, others it's not.

I think Cpt. Kirk will turn out to be a good coach. Right now we are just trying a crap-ton of different things with the lines.

It will be interesting to see what our team looks like next year with all these rookies getting good playing time this year. A few of them have really stepped up and showed they have what it takes to be a staple in the lineup.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By panthers55 · Posted

      I see progress and improvements. We aren't the same team we were even at the beginning of this year. You want to harp on the past while I am all about the present and future. Do I know thinks are going to be great moving forward? Actually I don't but I prefer to look at the good instead of the bad. Since he is surely going to be the QB the rest of this year barring injury, I am going to root for him to succeed instead of fail. I always said if we are going to finish at 500 for the year I prefer we win at home since I will be there and want to see wins and crying opposing fans like the cowboys. So far mission accomplished. Now we have to show we can win on the road.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
