it matters if they want to win this series. can't look like dogshit for 2 out of 3 periods and expect to come back and win a series you were down 0-3

We are down 3-2 the previous odds no longer matter.

The truth is the Rangers had won 3 games by 1 goal, two of which were in OT. It's an extremely close series and the luck has FINALLY swung back the Canes way before it was too late. One game at a time

It’s only close because of special teams. We’d have won this series by now if our PP/PK were even close to our regular season numbers. We are so much fuging better 5v5. They have goaltending and special teams, both of which can be volatile. 1 game at a time but we have ourselves a series now.

Shitstirkin might finally be out of gas. He's been incredible in this series but they don't rest him and they broke him the last two games. Rangers definitely looked gassed in the third period while the Canes looked like they found the will to play another game. If they can put together another game like that third period looked I like their chances in Game 6 at home.

This is a product of facing 100 shot attempts a game 5 games in a row.

Guys let’s be real. Those three goals were all net front. All net front. No bombs.  Get in front of Igor and our guys can finish.

PNC is going to be rocking on Thursday. This is going 7 where all pressure will be on NY to not blow a 3-0 lead.

Exactly, if Igor has any time to play it, he is gonna stop it, but point blank shots are his weakness

Someone stop me I'm starting to feel like this is a team of destiny....

We live to see another game and since they scored four while I was laying down, I shall not watch game 6.

They looked completely shell shocked tonight.....

We take game 6 and somehow manage to start fast in game 7 and it's on....

 

I just don't see the Canes losing Thursday

I really think the key is to just play smart, sound hockey during the first couple of periods and maybe we get a couple of bounces.

It’s hard to keep leads and the last thing we need to do is expend a bunch of energy to only be up by one. The Rangers spent a lot of energy early to only be up by one and the Canes conserved a bunch of energy then annihilated New York in the third.

This is very similar to how Florida plays.

You need great goalie play or elite shot blocking to play that style. Our biggest problem is we forecheck so much, that our defense gets caught flat-footed and gives other teams odd man breaks way too much.
