We suck. This team is trash.

IFFFF we get to game 5. Bench Tony. This guy has been terrible

Stop with pucks on net guys. Just setup a shot

Good new we have a lead. bad news…. The 2nd just sucked again. Tony d was terrible. He is the worst player on the ice. Too much passing, just shoot.

Jesus Christ. Get KK off the team and Tony D sucks

The rangers have hit three posts this game.

Our defense is not playing well minus Slavin. Tony d is trash. Our d is just not playing well

Canes have gone back to pucks on net and it’s not working. Freddie and goal posts bailing us out.

Score on this PP and we win. It just feels like a goal is coming.

Yankee blood. Makem bleed and not want us game 5

Burns said *** yo couch

That was ELITE level Hockey. Now do it again.

This is the canes I know. Getting to the middle of ice net front and shooting!

That’s one of those defensive breakdowns I talk about.

Rod has our Skjei on PP1. Let’s see if that helps.

Freddie in net boys

Guys we have an excellent group of friends and canes fans here. We come here game in a game out to talk canes. We agree and disagree but at the end of the day we are canes fans. Love y’all. It’s either going to one last ride this year or a ticket to Monday and then who knows. Let’s go boys!

Ok folks we can’t quit. Let’s rise up and ride. This is our team. If we lose, we lose with heads held high. But let’s fuging fight.

You never know.

I love that idea. ESP if we pay him like a 2LC

That would be a hell of a ride though.

Special teams is indeed 1. No question. I’d say it’s the style of pucks on net vs creating chances is two. It just doesn’t work in the playoffs against elite goalie play. That’s been the same since 19. Run into an elite goalie, get blanked. That’s the because the offensive style allows the goalie see all shots. The goals we have scored have been sexy tips or deflections. Goalie play has been good. Not great. But it’s like the allstar game. The best goalies let up 6-7 goals. Why?? No defense. Our defense while good in some spots really has been a let down. Watching Burns halfass a clear or Slavin chasing or Tony d really doing nothing is tough.

Oh I can blame them in spots. We are having major defensive breakdowns leading to goals. Burns is having a horrible playoffs. Tony is horrible. We are allowing 3.5 goals a game. Honestly, if it wasn’t for Koochie or Freddie, it would be 6-7 goals a game. Even our radio guys Tripp Shane and the couple local podscasts talk about how back our defense is playing. It’s breakdown after breakdown. The only reason these are 1 goal losses vs 3-4 is the goalies.

Will agree to disagree on this one. They really should switch to a zone style defense because man defense just doesn’t win in the playoffs. The bigger issue is from the athletic article I posted yesterday. The canes prioritize every shot on goal possible versus creating scoring chances. That’s really what needs to change. Alho has yet to score in the series while having a ton of assists. Also should be our leading goal score easily.

Hopefully he does first tonight.
