Just hope we don’t get swept this series. This isn’t Nashville.

Yeah, we lucked out getting a very bad team in Nashville game 1.

We keep playing like poo and a sweep is likely to happen. Honestly thought game 1 was a must win for us. Now its a matter of do we lose in 4 games or 6 games

Damn! Vas stood on his head 6v5. But, Staal made a stellar play to steal the faceoff and let Ned get off the ice in the first place. 

Agreed, but we are skilled enough it shouldn't take Staal having to make a great play like that for us to get it into their zone to get Ned off the ice. 

This one is on Ned, he seems to be able to shake the soft goals off so on to game 2.  If we lose both games at home we are toast.

We definitely did not play like poo tonight. We just didn't take advantage of the opportunities in the first period and Ned let in a soft goal.

Yeah, we looked more like ourselves this game than any game against the Perdators.

Ned just had a bad moment at a crucial time and it really costs the Canes.

We have to put more than 1 up on the scoreboard though.  Vas is good...we have to be better.

[Stumpy]

Damn. Coach just said postgame that Nino is out for the rest of the series. 

Send good vibes to the Weather Man! 

We're are gonna need him when we get past the Chevy Volts!

Intensity is up. Just have to finish. I know once we go EN they will bang one in to win. Have we had a single 6 on 5 goal all season?

I don’t remember which game, but did have one this season. Rod pulled the goalie a little early and it paid off.  I vividly remember Tripp commenting on the pull being early.

Carolina played better today than any game in the last 2+ weeks. Shots on goal, energy, movement. They just couldn't get anything past Vas. 

Wanna be concerned about something? The power play.

Hopefully we get our act together because yes we have played good but not good enough. Nashville shouldn't have taken 5 games and now fatigue will be a factor. Need to really show up next game.

Yeah the power play is really concerning.  We were clicking most of the season, but it has been a struggle for about a month now.  I really do think we are making one pass too many on the PP.  When you've got the man advantage you gotta let em rip tater chip!

Ice was a factor in that too. He second guessed himself and didn't get the proper traction to readjust to the post.

We need to practice vs Mrazek or Reimer. All of our good shot placements would have gone in vs. a smaller goalie like Ned or Saros. Its been too long since we faced something else.

This won't be a sweep, We can play with Tampa despite the loss we played well.

Gotta get him to move, And it looks like they are still used to taking shots at a saros.... Mrazek is only a little bigger than Ned I know he isn't great but if your trying to emulate the size its got to be Reimer
