[Harbingers]

 

Get that W boys. 

[PantherChris]

LETS GO CANES!!!!! TAKE GAME 1 AND STEAL HOME ICE 

[PantherChris]

During the regular season our PP was 4 for 7 against the Rags theirs was 1 for 10.... that's a trend that needs to continue.

[PantherChris]

Prediction.... at some point tonight Svechnikov will deliver a huge hit to Rempe... Rempe being in the lineup is a good thing he's a plug who is a very poor skater he's not gonna he able to hit any of our top guys.

Nervous. We gotta take one of 2 in NY or it's tough sledding. fug it, let's make it game 1 and tilt the series right out of the gate.

Think it’s important that we get a lot more offense from our defense this series.

We only got two goals from the defense last series and if for some reason the forwards get cold, we are going to need a lot more from that.

Also need Kuzy and Necas to have the series’ of their lives. They’ll be the best players on the ice when they are out there against the Rangers bottom six, they need to play like it.

Finally, guess I’ll pick up Raising Canes for the game, got to show my support somehow.

It was because Varlamov had a super strong high glove side and excellent rebound control, plus high selling out to block by the islanders(something the rags do also but not the extreme the islanders do it). One of those two goals came against Samsanov almost immediately. 
 

Igor on the other hand is fallible glove high sometimes, not as bad as Bob though for sure.

Necas may have only had 1 goal but he had a quietly good series against the islander 5 points, 1g, 4a, 1.0 ppg, though he is a -1. His defense was definitely not the best last series. 

Frankly, Aho and Guenz need to up their game. Guenz was a .8 ppg with an empty netter so you could argue he’s a .6 on game changing points, Aho is also a .6 ppg. 
 

Kuz isn’t really a stat issue. +2, 2g 2a, 4p. But he was off a lot last series in the ozone. I don’t know if he was trying too hard or not enough but…

Shane Willis got me fired up listening to the Canes Cast podcast. He likes the Rangers as much as we do.

Lets Go Canes!

Does anyone know if Bally’s is still gonna do a pre-game/post-game show? I’d rather not have to listen to PK and Messier fawn over the rags. Wish we were on TNT/TBS. Really grown to like the TNT/TBS crew this playoffs, which is the opposite of last year.

Yeah, these national guys are tough to watch.

Sounded like no on the podcast. Willis will be doing some stuff on WRAL.
