Blues vs Avs. Going to be a good one tonight

Outside of the first 2 periods game 1, the canes have been the better team. Without IGOR, the canes would have had 4-5 goals a game so far.

https://hfboards.mandatory.com/threads/hurricane-ii.2885753/ rangers fans are in full meltdown mode.

I don’t care. It’s Raanta’s net until otherwise. These playoffs have his name all over if. Now with a playoff shutout. Raants’ net. Role with him. It is now becoming very special.

Bump….. dude is playing all world. He is our 1

Caaaaanes!!!! Wiiiinn!

Tony D rushed that 5-3

Shorty!!!!!

Alright boys….PP time

As that period went on it looked more and more like the 3rd from Wednesday. We simply just wear teams down. I like us to get 1 early to start the 2nd.

2nd to react.

Thank you for catching that! I was hoping someone would say something

From Canes FB RALEIGH, NC. - The Carolina Hurricanes look to continue their perfect postseason on home ice Friday, aiming to take a 2-0 series lead over the New York Rangers. When: Friday, May 20, 8 p.m. EST Watch: ESPN Listen: 99.9 The Fan, Hurricanes.com/Listen, Hurricanes App SERIES RECAPS: Game One: Sebastian Aho ties the game with 2:23 to go in regulation, Ian Cole wins it just 3:12 into the extra frame for Carolina. THE QUICK HITS: Special Start Time: Please be aware of tonight's special 8 p.m. EST puck drop. Ready To Go On Time: Carolina struggled through the first 40 minutes of Wednesday's Game One, with players and coaches citing it as a bit of them coming out of the gate flat and a bit of New York doing strong things. Can the Canes turn the table for Game Two? They are 3-0 this postseason when leading after the first. Runnin' With Rants: After an early turnover led to an odd-man rush that New York capitalized on, Antti Raanta shut the door for the remaining 56:05 (including overtime). The veteran netminder finished with 27 saves on 28 shots, earning his fourth win of the playoffs in which he has allowed two goals or fewer. Ian Cole, Baby: Ian Cole had just two goals during the regular season and he added his third of the season in overtime Wednesday. It was his 104th posteason game and just his second career goal in the Stanley Cup Playoffs as well. Keeping It Clean: Special teams played a big part in almost every contest during the Canes seven-game opening round win against Boston. Wednesday night there was just two penalties, both coming just 27 seconds apart during the first period. This is especially of note considering the Rangers power play finished in the top five during the regular season and has been one of the most successful thus far in the playoffs as well. However, the Carolina penalty kill finished atop the league after 82 games, too. Staal's Master Class: Jordan Staal's line was responsible for defening the Rangers top line of Mika Zibanejad, Chris Kreider and Frank Vatrano Wednesday night and it is expected that will once again be the case this evening. The trio finished as the three forwards with the most ice time for New York in the contest, but managed only six shots on goal in just under 20 minutes of play. On The Other Side: Goaltender Igor Shesterkin was strong once again for New York to start the series. Of the two goals that beat him, one came on a solo effort by Sebastian Aho and the other deflected off of his defenseman's stick and in. His night concluded with 24 stops on 26 shots, in total. ESPN Broadcast: Sean McDonough, Ray Ferraro and Emily Kaplan will be the broadcast talent for tonight's ESPN telecast. They will have the first four games of the series. Arrive Early!: Please be aware starting on Friday, the "Got to Be NC festival" is going on at the fairgrounds and traffic will be very heavy in the area during ingress. Allow yourself a few extra minutes. ADDITIONAL NOTES: What Are We Wearing?: The Canes will be wearing black for every home game in the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs. More Milestones: Sebastian Aho is one goal shy of passing Kevin Dineen to move into a tie for the second-most goals in franchise playoff history. He is also two assists shy of passing Ron Francis for the most assists in franchise playoff history.

100% I’m on vacation but I’ll get them once they are released. If someone beats me to it I’m good with it.

Wow. I fell asleep and just watched the highlights. Blues played well. Wasn’t it Wang Gretzky at the start of the playoffs that predicted a Stanley Cup between the canes and blues….

Game 2 folks! Canes took a little nap the first 2 periods in game 1 then woke up in the 3rd with a goal from Aho. Could have been more from all the crossbars hit. Cole with dagger in OT helped us go up 1-0 Who is ready??? Let’s fuging go!

Brutal ending for FL. Tie game and Tampa scores with .8 seconds left to win.

It’s helps that we are so deep that we can do that. Most teams aren’t.

0-22 on the PP. Average D and Average goalie. Also, that’s 4 PP goals for Tampa this series

Tampa strikes first. 1-0

Rod with the booger sugar. Hahaha

Good write up! My body hurts today after that game. Need a blow out winner Friday night.

Glorious gentlemen glorious. I got our game two thread and I’ll let it fly when it feels right Friday. Its starting to feel very special. Canessss Win!
