Round 3 - Carolina Hurricanes (6) vs. Pittsburgh Penguins (4)

[Superadiabatic]

Hmmm ... not sure if I would have rather have just lost Game 7 to Boston, or have been tortured with this series.

[Squirrel]

Well hopefully they do better Tuesday. Going to be hard to win 4 in a row but I wont doubt this team.

Panthers...fail.

Canes...fail.

Bobcats...extra fail.

Tar Heels...win.

At least somebody in this damn state won.

I am so sick of hearing the Versus announcers sing the Pens praises over and over, it isn't how well they are playing, it's how badly we are. We looked like we were on a Sunday drive out there tonight. The Hurricanes have had absolutely no fire out there.

Folks, if they aren't going to even try, I am not going to bother to watch. I doubt there will be a game 5, but I am not watching any more hockey unless there's a game 7 in this series.

I'm a die hard Canes fan bro. Have been since day one. But it's officially over. We might pull out one or two, but there is no way we can hang four in a row on them. The Pens are on fire, the best I've EVER seen them play. They are owning us in every way.

It was a nice, unexpected run in the playoffs, but I think our ship has sailed.

Hopefully we can keep Ruutu and Jokinen and sign a FA or two. Would love to see a good, solid stay at home defenseman and maybe even see us take a shot at Havlat. They gave us a great ride this season, so I'm thankful for that, thankful to have seen them play every home game in the first and second series and happy that we shut a lot of people up in the process, just not our year.

I don't see what's so great about any of that.

I second that motion.

That's my point. Other than the Heels. You must be a Dookie.

[God]

Brindey go retire you old piece of crap, and can we bring in a fuging forward god.

I just want to know where our energy was in this game??? Any goalie in the NHL will lose when they have to stop 40 plus shots.....Are the Pens this much better than us? No they are not. They are just playing better than us and we are making DUMB mistakes.

Can we win FOUR GAMES in a row? We can but we got to play near perfect hockey for it too happen. We werent even supposed to be in the playoffs, much less get this far....We are playing tight....and the Canes dont play tight... We need to take the two days of and loosen up mentally. JUST GO PLAY!!!!

PS The CAnes are the only team to bring a professional Championship to the state.....

[dexterpyro]

That's my point. Other than the Heels. You must be a Dookie.

So the Canes Stanley Cup win means nothing??? The canes have had a great seson.....

[Superadiabatic]

That's my point. Other than the Heels. You must be a Dookie.

I'm a none of the above ... an expert in the "wait 'til next year".

In other words, a Gamecock fan.

I understand you're frustrated. But shut up.

We don't need forwards, we need a coach who doesn't rely on the dump and run and we need a SOLID stay-at-home defenseman.
