Stumpy

If we lose game three I'll be worried. I get where yall are coming from, but don't let Vegas odds cloud your vision. The Rags were expected to take these 2. Presidents Trophy winners at home after a laughable scrimmage series against the Caps. Anyone who thought we were gonna run away with this was wearing homer glasses.

Did not expect Freddie to get back to (nearly) 90% after that 1st period. The Dane was great when it mattered. Igor was Igor, unfortunately.

Far from it. poo ice and home cooking from the refs and we still should've won both games.

This one's on Rod.

The anxiety...

When you realize Comtois has only skated barely 6 minutes in 4 periods of hockey, it'll piss you off worse.

Also how do any of yall have any pie left at this point? Some of yall been holding back!

When is the last time a game thread got to Svech pages with another hour left to go???

Should've been a penalty shot for the neck ass!

You know it's coming...

The Assassin is sharpening his blades...

You gotta be fuging kidding me!?!

Yup

Yeah, but this is nhl zebras we are talking about...

But, but, but, Freddie looked good playing late in the season with 0 miles on his body and the best D in the league in front of him! If Pyotr is in net, this game is 3-1 at worst!

So, you'll be on latrine duty the next couple months after we send the Rags home crying...?

Glad I bet the over...

Nah, but Rod has been very open that he let's his position coaches take the reins on a lot of these decisions. If we goalie ourselves out of the playoffs once again, changes have to be made. Rod ain't going anywhere, though I wouldn't be surprised to see a bit of a house cleaning, with everyone's contracts expiring after the season ends.

The swipe at Gold was mostly tongue in cheek, playing off the long history of the two (now) rivals. I do find that the 2 Joe's seem to get better access to guests despite 99.9 being the "Official" Canes partner. Unfortunately, Capitol Media Group has burnt a lot of bridges with a huge number of talented local sports professionals. (Some of which are currently employed by our favorite hockey team.) Ultimately it comes down to style though. Gold tends to be a bit doomerish while the OG boys always err towards optimism with the Canes.
