Nothing to be upset about tonight other than the fact we are now facing elimination. We completely outplayed them in the 2nd and 3rd and got beat by Marty. We hustled, checked, played smart but just couldnt get that lucky break tonight. Cam was simply outstanding as well, he kept us in the thing all night matching Marty save for save. It was really one of the best goaltending duals I have seen in a long time and kind of reminded me of Vanbiesbrouck and Roy in the 96 finals.....except this game didnt go until 3am haha.

We really need to come out early Sunday and set the tone, I will be there. How many of you guys are going?

I must after Martys temper tantrum he played spectacular. He got some lucky breaks, but he was a man on a mission. Cam Ward was absolutley spectacular. He single handily kept us in the game. I think we came out to intensive made some bad descision but we were great. Not having Samnsonov was huge. Do not know if i agree with the changing of the lines but it seem to give us some energy. For game six, we need samnsonov back so we can go four lines deep again.

If one or 2 of those shots went in and that costly TO from game3 didn't happened,we would be winning the series 3-2 and the Devils would be facing elimination,but that's how the puck bounces!Good effort tonight though.The Canes need to put out the same effort Sunday and they need some luck too,I want to see it go to game 7!

It was pretty clear that the objective was to shoot low on Brodeur. As good as he is, he is awful at controlling rebounds these days, but even when we got rebound we continued to shoot low. Cam played amazing, Marty played amazing, but lift the freaking puck! I threw things.

How many times would we have scored on rebounds if we could flip the puck up?? So many close calls. I applaud NJ for keeping there defensemen next to him and making those rebounds tough

      The Evolution of the Panthers WR Room from 2023 to 2025

      I'm more impressed with the UDFA that the guys they have drafted in the first the last 2 years. A whole lot of prove it is still needed before any improvement should be talked about seriously.

      PANTHERS @ HURRICANES ROUND 3 GAME 1

      While I don't believe its a must win, (we have been better on the road this post season) it is definitely A NEED TO WIN the longer this series goes the more pronounced the Canes advantage on rest and health will be! If we hold serve at home in games 1 and 2 guaranteeing a 6 game minimum series for them if we lose the road games..... by the game 4 and 5 I expect them to be beat they have played A LOT OF HOCKEY the last three years, they have MINIMAL rest off a more physical than one might have expected series vs the leafs.... you know Tampa took their pound of flesh in round 1 from them. Combine all that with the fact that even though this year's canes squad isn't as talented as last years this IS a better squad than the one they swept last time that had McKenzie Mckeathern on line 1 Turbo with a broken hand a banged uo and eventually concussed Slavin (and even though it was a sweep 6 OTS and 4 1 goal losses is hardly dominant)  This year Bob hasn't been superman (hes probably gonna still have a great save percentage agiast us just a side effect of our style) Thatchuk is maybe 50% (3 game winners agiast us) their defense no longer has Gudas and several other downgrades.  While the Canes have a healthy and performing Svechnikov along with other big guys to counteract florida like Carrier, Jankowski, Robinson.   I by know means think it will happen but I either see this as a low scoring dog fight or a series were the canes surprise and end up dominating.
