Harbingers

Canes need to make sure they keep their skates on the ice when the hit this round.

Head shots seem to be a big thing so far in the playoffs. And TB down two D…

I really feel like the NHL is trying to over call slashing.

Also refs, wtf is this the regular season? That was a slash?

Toronto taking the bull by the horns.. the devils not so much.

Hell of a shot by Nylander.

Devils got lucky there.

Devils playing house on the PK. Letting the rangers set up alllllll night long.

The dude could be better than Austin… I say could with a big Could.

I can’t help but feel if this was us we’d be up right now. Devils have been lackluster on shots.

God damn, Tampa scored again? Toronto(the city) has to be about in implode mode.

Devils beating themselves right now. Can’t score if you don’t shoot the puck.

Both these games are way more chippy than our game. Lot more scrums.

They started getting some decent rushes late. If they can capitalize on the remainder of this penalty they might be able to shake Shesterkin up a bit.

Lighting seeming like typical lightning I see. Or Toronto bring typical Toronto. One of the two.

It would suck having a rival that close. I feel like the stands are 70% rangers fans.

More than 3. The Hockey Guy’s entire recaps was basically well the canes almost scored there. Which for him means we should have scored. I counted at least 8 of those from him.

Not like this. Rangers are owning them currently.

As much as I want to say we should, Raanta will wear down. We gotta tend by committee.

Who are y’all tuning into tonight? I suppose I will suffer through the devils/rangers to keep an eye on them.

I’d rather see Raanta in net for game two and Freddie goes game three(and four).

It was a rhetorical question.

Glad he’s got that 4 line working. Also not seeing any indication(on Twitter at least) the islanders practiced today if they are.

Who?

So here’s my recap. What I liked: Our level of physicality, finishing hits. PP1 Unit. Raanta, especially his tracking of long pucks. What I didn’t like: Not finding the net 5v5 especially with a poo ton of high dangers. Our defense collapsing in the first period around Raanta. We usually don’t play house. We need to make these high dangers goals vs. good goalies, if we can do that the sky’s the limit.
