Such a frustrating series as we easily could’ve won any or all of the first 3 games. Just like against Florida last year

I mean opponent factors in yeah, low in importance compared to other factors but it is a factor for me. I think reality for me is I won’t make it regardless, have traveled a poo ton this year including overseas and don’t think I could manage to do another Europe trip this year. Would be cool but I do think we’ll eventually play there again. NFL will only keep adding more and more international games. Maybe something changes and I can go. Munich would be friggin awesome and I do have German heritage and have never been

Glad to see some fight and would be nice to not get swept. Going down 3-0 has removed all my expectations and interest but if we do happen to steal (a potential) game 5 in NY, then all bets are off. I’d go fuging insane if we actually pulled off the 0-3 comeback against these fugs. I hate the Rags as much as any sports team

This is just flat out not a roster construction issue. It's coaching, in particular playoff special teams coaching. Rod is out of excuses on that front. We'd be up 2-1 or 3-0 in this series if we could be just +1 or even on special teams in these games. We'd have beaten Florida and the Rags the year before if not for disastrous special teams. Plenty of teams with significantly less talent have done better on special teams in the playoffs than us since Rod took over. It's ultimately all on coaching.

Season over. Don’t care. fug Rod and this pathetic team and the refs and this league.

Koochie with one of the most badass poke checks in NHL history!!!!

I have it on mute. fug those idiots

I am SHOCKED they called that icing. They’ve been waiving those off against us all series

Alright still alive. Not out of the woods yet

That’s gonna seal it for Rod. It’s over.

There is no player in sports more deserving of a life altering injury than Trouba. Dirtiest piece of poo in all of sports history, even more than that fuger vontaze burfict

Game and series and I'm 100% done with Rod and this team and more so this league. Just don’t give 2 shits about this stupid as sport any more. Sorry

One rule change I’d fuging love would be if you could basically “bank” PPs just to negate opposing PPs. So you get the first PP of the game you could decide to use it or decide to bank it to cancel out a potential future PK. Risky as you could not commit a penalty and just lose the PP opportunity. But would get more 5v5 play which is so much better for the game IMO — and not just because right now we’re good 5v5, I just find power plays so incredibly boring and have for years. Even if we’re getting them and scoring on them. of course, it’ll never happen though

If we lose this game I’d fire Rod before game 4 honestly. Refs are a joke but our ST play is just flat out unacceptable. He’s had enough chances

So they interfere with Aho uncalled and then goal. Seriously this is the worst called series in the history of sports

Trobitch flopping. Absolutely pathetic

Uhh what how the fug was there an interference there? These refs are such a fuging joke

Would’ve considered going to Germany if it was the Chiefs as rumored a year ago. Giants I don’t think so

Nothing for whoever it was that jumped Necas. Bullshit

Seriously, completely fuging absurd how easy these bitches go down. They throw a punch that we don’t flop on then we hit back once and they go down like they were fuging shot by a 50cal. Probably the most pitiful fuging flopping sports team I’ve ever seen outside of soccer

And now the refs decide they need to get involved and we’re probably gonna be on the PK

1-0. Largely due to Svech’s physicality in the o zone there. Beautiful. Get the next one quick please

Trocheck is a massive bitch too

Pathetic fuging call, the trash reffing continues into Raleigh

I'll find the exact stats at some point but we have been the best PK in the league regular season under Rod since 2018 and bottom 5 in the playoffs since then. PP has been top 10-12 regular season and bottom 5 in the playoffs. Special teams falling off in the playoffs is 100% a trend at this point and enough that would cause me to seriously evaluate the coaching staff. There just aren't any excuses for this anymore especially adding the talent we've added in the past year. Special teams is the only reason we haven't won a Cup yet or gotten further in the playoffs, and that is completely on coaching not the roster.
