The official Game 3 New York Islanders vs Carolina Hurricanes (the relevant team in the Carolinas right now) Thread 5/1 700 PM NBCSN

Jumping on them early and getting the first goal tonight will be huge. Get the first and get the crowd into it. Watch out. 

[KillerKat]

I'm so ready! I want to sweep these guys so that we can get some extra rest.

fug yeah. My custom Sebastian Apimp jersey arrived today(promised to buy this if we beat the Caps). It's a good sign.

There is something going on with Aho, at least two times he not taken face offs. It could be nothing but it seems strange. 

At this point, its a good sign the checkers had great year, since some players can win in both in the AHL and NHL playoffs this year. We many have gotten lucky to draw the Isles right now, they play more D and we can fake some forward lines not get behind too much.

I give PNC a 1.5+ advantage, so if we stay within 2 until the 3rd

Isle 2 Canes 3.5

Aho is definitely not 100% but he's soldiering on. As long as he's able to, we have to let him. Can't afford to lose him, honestly.

 

Hour and a half before puck drop.

So everyone is back except for Mrazek and TVR?

Think. Unless I am mistaken. Marty and Svech for sure. 

[lightsout]

Alright. Puck drop now, 19:11. 

 

Weird start. Neither team really looks sharp right away. 

[KillerKat]

GOALLL!!! We look unstoppable right now!

[KillerKat]

[lightsout]

A few really close calls before that look too. Svech was barely on the ice for 30 seconds before he's setting up good chances. Lol.

[KillerKat]

Pk was bad there. Don't think they ever got it out of the zone.

[t96]

Gotta stay out of the box. Isles may not score a 5-5 goal this series but if we keep giving them PPs wins are not guaranteed

[KillerKat]

so close to 2-1
