Dallas wins 4-2, series tied 2-2. Interestingly both teams lost their home games but won on the road.

I’m surprised this wasn’t brought up yet. Lee totally flopped. Yes I know orlov wasn’t called for the elbow instead for the roughing after the play, but call them both for the after the fact roughings and give Lee 2 extra for flopping.

It's playoff hockey and if anyone thinks the same penalties called during the regular season will be called needs to watch some more hockey. And let's not get caught up in the "horrifying photos" crap. It's not as though Anders Lee is some choirboy on the ice- he's gotten away with plenty already through 4 games in this series, not the least of which was one of several Isles players going after Guentzel after he scored the empty netter in Game 2.

Hey, Isles fans, stop whining and play hockey.

The tweet was satire. It clearly shows orlov’s elbow was nowhere close to Lee head. I went back and rewatched it on Bally after I saw the tweet and ya, orlov’s elbow doesn’t go anywhere close to Lee let alone his face. I know the elbow wasn’t called but the roughing after was on orlov.

My point was Lee should have gotten a roughing AND an extra embellishment penalty with us starting the second overtime on the power play.

How to you go Hughes over Pyotr?

Hughes was a fugging -25. Pyotr besides his slump was putting up Vezina worthy numbers. 
 

Besides Pyotr if one of them should win it based on performance alone it should be Faber. I mean Bedard was a -44.. ffs.

Here is the full rundown. 
 

“• Tony DeAngelo is fine after leaving last night's game during the third period.  X-rays were all negative and he is feeling better today.

• Brett Pesce (lower-body injury) is out of a walking boot.  If everything goes as expected, he should play games in Round 2.  He may not be ready for Game 1, but the team is hoping to have him available at some point during the series.

• CT scans and MRIs revealed that Jesper Fast suffered an injury to a muscle in his neck during the team's regular season finale.

• There's a "very quick timeline" for an announcement regarding an AHL affiliation for the 2024-25 season.

• He talks daily with Rod Brind'Amour about a contract extension.  "Rod wants to be a Hurricane for life... There's going to be a solution here very quickly."”
