Yep. I don’t know what to do with that kid. Do we offer him a show me deal? Do we cut ties?

Not thrilled with that period
We weren’t great in second periods against Washington really either. They outshot us I think every game.

It was an ok period. Some good shifts. Passed up on some good chances to shoot but it’s nothing new.

That’s what I was thinking Kakko has a great shot. He needs to shoot. Like Lafreniere figured out. Wennberg is a perfect player against a team like this he’s unbelievably smart, defensively.

Never easy. Just allowed too much puck possession and now Carolina has a lot of time.

This will be a tough series that can go seven again. Getting game one is big because I expect a tougher Carolina effort on Tuesday.

Neither team played their best. Anderson was shaky so it would’ve been bad to let this one slip away.

Sveshithead is talented, but he’s fucking stupid and you could take advantage of that. He can’t control his temper.
Important to win game 1, not perfect, but in the playoffs, you take the win and move forward. And the Canes are a very good team, so you win it is good no matter what.
Our biggest advantage in this series is in goal, and we need to take advantage of that by getting a lot of pucks on Andersen. The 4th goal was also great to see from Panarin, and should be a lesson to the Rangers, get pucks on net. That was a weak goal by Andersen, but only happens if Panarin shoots like he did. Get pucks on Andersen.
Game 2 will be our biggest challenge by far. The Canes know going down 2-0 is a huge hill, we are due for a little downer, I always felt this series would be 1-1 going to Carolina. Will be a tough game for us to win, but I will say this, if we ever find a way to win it, we are in the driver's seat big time, and it would really show me something about this team yet again. Going to be a tough one.

Agree 100%. This is going to be a long tough series, as the Canes are very good. Winning game 1 is important to get the jump early in what will be a close hard-fought series.
I hope you are right. I know you guys don't like all the numbers, but teams that go up 2-0 in the NHL win the series like 86% of the time, and it is even higher when you win the first two at home. It is a huge edge in a sport where home ice doesn't mean all that much.
Perfect example, 58% of game 7's are won by the home team in hockey, meanwhile 75% of game 7's are won by the home team in the NBA. Home court matters in the NBA, home ice just doesn't matter that much in the NHL.
