Buss Stop wins the SO!

Buss Stop is the only reason Canes are still ahead, he’s been incredible.

If you don’t have two screens going watching Canes and Panthers you’re not a sports fan.

Hall tip on the PP!

Carrier gets Canes the first goal!

Bussi in net. Slavin a game time decision- his decision.

Hall

Because Peters only won 4 out of his last 5 games?

Flyers were 5-0 in shootouts this season and then they met the Canes with a poke check and a Blake to end them.

Poke Check Off! Blake winner!!!!

Lets win it in Aho Time.

lawd. Kootch owns that one.

better! Svech to Jarvy for a breakaway goal!

Nikii baby! Tied!!!

Canes hitting an extra gear now let’s go boys.

Ehlers!! Now that was a grade A shot!

Goalie Derangement Syndrome- always blame the goalie for every goal regardless of whether it was due to defensive breakdowns and/or a well screened goalie. Makes life simple that way I guess. For this game proper GDS requires ignoring the Flyers have 13 SOG to 6 and are skating circles around the Canes when on offense and making great plays. Damn goalie. lol

I had the goal descriptions above reversed, was looking at replays and mixed up the order of goals.

1st goal unstoppable a quick pass to a Flyers player untouched, second goal pass to the point and Kootch screened, no way he could see that puck. GDS is real.

Two Canes defensive lapses and great passes by the Flyers = 2 goals. Nothing to do with “goalie play”, both goals were unstoppable right in front of the net. Some of you guys have GDS, goalie derangement syndrome.

Kootchie in the crease, Nystrom with Niki on D.

Grok AI: No, there are no credible reports that the Carolina Hurricanes offered Jake Guentzel the same contract terms as Tampa Bay (7 years, $63 million total, $9 million AAV) before he signed with the Lightning. Reliable sources, including The Athletic, consistently reported that Carolina’s offer during negotiations was an eight-year deal worth $64 million ($8 million AAV). Guentzel did not accept it promptly, leading the Hurricanes to trade his negotiating rights to Tampa Bay on June 30, 2024, for a 2025 third-round pick. He then quickly signed the 7x$9M deal with the Lightning on July 1, 2024. Guentzel himself later reflected (in 2025 interviews) that staying in Carolina was his initial preference, but negotiations stalled and “didn’t work out,” with Tampa’s opportunity becoming a “no-brainer.” No reports from outlets like ESPN, NHL.com, or insiders (e.g., Elliotte Friedman, Pierre LeBrun, Frank Seravalli) indicate Carolina ever matched or offered the Lightning’s exact terms—total money, AAV, or length. The extra year was Carolina’s key advantage, but they reportedly stuck closer to $8M AAV and moved on when Guentzel explored options.

He wanted to go to Tampa Bay according to some sources. I saw an interview with him where imho he heged and reading between the lines I sensed he was ready to leave. I don’t say “absolutely” though lol.

If they haven’t learned their lesson with those two then they never will. Basically expensive rentals who don’t want to be here and the team suffers for it.
