Ok I’m done with these announcers. Fugging suck off Tampa some more why don’t you.

Put two lighting in the box. Fug their sticks on ice and holding our sticks BS. If the ref actually called a few of them over the series maybe they’d stop doing it. (they called one so far, on Kucherov in game 3)

Paa should have killed Maroon if he’s gonna take a penalty for that BS anyways.

Bullshit call. Also Ned can’t beat point. Now is when we need to score a few like we usually do in the regular season.

Ya the refs just kowtowed to Maroon. Fugging punks.

Bullshit.

Ned is basically a rookie and will learn how to limit himself. But all that extra skating puck movement he does also wares on him. Not criticizing him, it’s just something he’ll have to work on going forward to make sure he’s stellar mentally and physically.

Nah Mraz needed to be in for game 3. I think Ned was at his breaking point. Should we have gone back to Ned in 4, only in hindsight. Ned has had a week off and it’s showing tonight. His movements are crisp, crisp to the point he’s second guessing himself and still being able to physically recover. So either Mraz should have shut down the last game or Ned should have won one of the first two at home. But it wasn’t really his fault. We should have started with Mraz at home or put him in game two. Over using Ned is the issue of this series goalie-wise.

The announcers said the refs were discussing penalties. Did anything ever come of that?

Also it should be a penalty to litter the ice with sticks. They’ve been doing it on purpose all series.

I like geeks over Paquette. Geekie has had some stupid good assist from below the goal line late in the season.

Tampa is trying a completely new tactic too trying to cycle our guys. Something we are really good defending against. Just gotta keep our head on our man and make them wear themselves our skating circles.

No idea why Skjei is in the box. Coleman fugging decked him and held him down.

Who is this team?!

Nino common’ man pesce had it. I know it’s a good penalty to take but pesce was fixin’ his mess.

And rod is like… wtf…

Ok they are coming out full. Put someone on their ass and make them overthink things.

Lolz he caught it between the dudes legs.

Nino and Tro on the bench.

No Foegs, Nino and Tro warmed up dunno if they are on the ice for the game though. No tweet I can find.

5-10 year plan? I’d put the over under at 50.

I have a list somewhere but I can’t find it. Staal, Necas and Lorentz are the only protected off the top of my head. Maybe Ned but I don’t think so. I’ll find an actual list though.

* If the Canes lose once, * games won’t be played. "Game 5 (3) Tampa Bay Lightning vs. (1) Carolina Hurricanes Tampa Bay leads series 3-1 Tuesday, June 8, 6:30 p.m. Watch: NBCSN Listen: 99.9 FM The Fan, Hurricanes.com/Listen, Hurricanes app Tracking the Storylines Needing Niederreiter: Nino Niederreiter practiced with the Canes on Monday and is "hopeful" to play in Game 5, according to head coach Rod Brind'Amour. Niederreiter, who had not skated with the team in more than a week, has missed the first four games of this series with an upper-body injury. Niederreiter tallied 20 goals, including four on the power play, in the regular season. More Injury Notes: Vincent Trocheck and Warren Foegele skated with the extras but did not practice with the Canes on Monday. Both remain game-time decisions for Game 5. Trocheck has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury, while Foegele aggravated an upper-body injury in Game 3 but was able to play in Game 4. Make History: The challenge ahead of the Canes is not an easy one, but when has it ever been so for this team? The Canes are going to have to rattle off three straight wins against the defending Stanley Cup champions, a team that is 10-0 in playoff games following a loss since 2020. Two of those three games are on home ice, though, so the Canes will have to steal just one more game on the road. First thing's first, though: Game 5, and the Canes are 2-2 in such scenarios. The Lightning have never lost a series they've led 3-1 (11-0), and the Canes have never erased such a series deficit (0-4). If they do, though, they'd become the 31st team in NHL history and the second this very postseason to do so. "You know there is no tomorrow. This is it. You've got to lay it all on the line," head coach Rod Brind'Amour said on Monday. "I'm sure we'll give it everything we've got. I've got no doubt in this group."" https://www.nhl.com/hurricanes/news/game-5-preview-tampa-bay-lightning-carolina-hurricanes/c-325232680 https://www.nhl.com/hurricanes/news/game-5-projected-lineup-tampa-bay-lightning-carolina-hurricanes/c-325247446 "With that in mind and based on lines used in practice on Monday, here is the projected lineup for the Hurricanes. Forwards Svechnikov-Aho-Teravainen Niederreiter-Trocheck-Necas McGinn-Staal-Fast Paquette-Lorentz-Martinook Defensemen Slavin-Hamilton Bean-Pesce Skjei-Hakanpaa Goalies "I think I'll let you guys marinate on the goalie today," Brind'Amour smirked. "Add a little excitement to the day." Injury: Foegele (upper body) Scratches: Bibeau, Gardiner, Geekie, Keane, Lajoie, McCormick, McKeown, Reimer, Ryan, Shore, Suzuki" Now is the time for this team to show why they finished first in the division and third in the league. I want to see some serious physical play and goal scoring. If I had to bet it’s Ned tonight, I can’t see Rod and the goalie room going back to Mraz after a six goal game even if this one is at home. But who knows. Not sure who is ref tonight but hopefully it’s not Francis. If we can get this one with some momentum going into a potential game six in Tampa, I’ll feel good about it.

Nino and Tro are warm up time decisions. Foegs is 50/50 according to Rod.

Nino sighting. Ned is in the starter crease but no decision made according to Rod.
