I’ll weigh in since no one asked me. I said we’re going to have to win on the road to advance, and it dang might be this series. Game 5 is a must-win now IMHO. What’s been frustrating for me this series is we handled the rags all season, and to see the games be so tight or us playing from behind the whole series is just frustrating. I get the playoffs is a different animal, but to look like cup contenders we need to handle business in these rounds like Colorado and Tampa have done. Raanta has been great, but he’s not a single starter. I’m glad to say it took him longer than I thought, but we are going to need two goalies to win. I would have like to seen the kid start games 1 or 2. I’d really like to see us win 5 and 6 and have Freddie back for the Tampa round. Getting Martinook back tomorrow would be awesome too.

I’m still not understanding why He was benched after a loss in Boston. Maybe it’s the language barrier or I just still don’t understand hockey, but I thought the kid played great on the whole.

I think Reaves needs to go watch game 2 from last series. This ain't the Carolina of old. Is it 7PM yet?

We are going to have to figure out how to score on the PP and on the road if we expect to advance. No way we go undefeated at home. Here’s hoping to games 4 and 5.

Sure would be nice if we could get a goal off this power play to start the third.

Haven’t been to a checkers game since the affiliation change, but I’m rooting for them to make it to the finals because they’d play Chicago if they both were to make it. Would be fun watching the current vs the former affiliate; rooting for our guys of course.

Colorado is the only one out west that would scare me. Gotta get through the next one though.

What’s the feeling Anderson will be back for round 2?

YES!

Here's to Raanta being good to go today, and the PP getting the puck in the net. Lets wrap this thing up Tuesday! Lets Go Canes!

Hurricanes have announced the home game against Detroit tomorrow night is still on. Will be interesting to see how the roster is filled out if Aho, Jarvis, Staal, Svech, Lorentz, and Cole are out. https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/hurricanes-set-play-thursday-game-postponed-due-covid-19/

Panthers have sounded the siren in the past. I like this idea.

No, but you can use Lexington BBQ dip

Freddie Anderson is legit! Fun game tonight.

On this board, no. Outside of Panther Nation, Yes. Not many out there respect us. We're already hearing "They're 3-0 but..."

Yeah, at least our coach this time around isn’t in year 6 or 7 and still suck at clock management. I’m optimistic that Rhule will fix the clock management issue. And yes, I hope the same moxie that he showed at the end of the half will continue in the 2nd. We can’t take our foot off the gas.

For a 2nd round pick. Thoughts on what the heck the Canes are thinking/doing? https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/hurricanes-trade-jake-bean-blue-jackets-second-round-pick/

And....... exhale. The rumor mill had me chewing my fingernails.

My son will be disappointed as Dougie is his favorite player on the roster. Just hasn't been the same since the leg injury. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nhl/report-hurricanes-give-hamilton-permission-to-talk-with-other-teams/ar-AAL1PrK

Scoreless 1st period. Canes went up 2-0 and gave up 2 power play goals. 2nd intermission we’re tied 2-2. Warren went off ice with an injury.

YES!

It’s been a while since we’ve been able to say that!

I don’t remember which game, but did have one this season. Rod pulled the goalie a little early and it paid off. I vividly remember Tripp commenting on the pull being early.

That's awesome!
