Bunting is such a fucking loser lol
WELCOME BACK VASY! WHAT A STATEMENT GAME! WE ARE SOOO BACK!
What a game. We love to see that shit. Also, is there a bigger pussy in the league than bunting? I don’t think so
What a fucking beatdown. Hatty and 5 points for Pointer, Kuch six points to tie the franchise record, and Raanta batting .500. The only way that game could’ve been any better is if that rat Bunting got his face rearranged, but we all know he’s too much of a puss to actually fight, as he showed when he ‘fought’ Jeannot the first time.
What a game to welcome Vasy back. 1 SOG the entire first period just for the floodgates to open. Also on a 5 game point streak!
Edit: only been one game obviously, but it seems like Vasy being more confident in handling the puck helped eliminate some of the turnovers in the defensive zone we’ve become so accustomed to. Hoping that’s the case going forward.
I wouldn’t say that escalated quickly as we didn’t kick into high gear until the 3rd, but it feels like it did lol
Seriously though, no one in this sub better say a god damn thing about JoJo being bad.
Look at what truly terrible goaltending looks like lol.
Cocksucking canes fans deserve no happiness. Way to shove it down their throat and send em home with almost 10 minutes left
Man after that first period I didn’t expect that Kuch would tie the record that’s stood since the Expansion Year. Thank god Vasy’s back too. What a night. Fuck Michael Bunting.
8 on 15 shots. What the actual fuck.
We have a VASY
Less than 3 goals. That’s all
Honestly that was a really good game by the team. Carolina had a bunch of possession but it was mostly just doing cardio around the perimeter. Almost every single Tampa shot was dangerous and they made no mistakes.
Great hockey night, team gets 2 points while Boston, Florida and Toronto all lose
dunked lol
Is it safe to say the boys play differently when Vasy is in net?
And THATS the lighting team I’ve known and loved for years. I missed you, please don’t leave me again
Can someone make a meme with Kuch dunking on Bunting? Please? Anyone?
Yankees lost to the Rays, 8-2. The organization should be embarrassed. The fans should be embarrassed. I’m somehow embarrassed. This was a humiliation exercise for everyone in the ballpark who is not sporting a Rays uniform.
See? It’s not about the number! It’s about quality! If only my ex understood
That shooting percentage is sustainable right? RIGHT?
It started slow and ended up a complete blowout. What can I say? That was a masterclass. Welcome back, big cat! 🦁
Pointer and especially Kuch need DNA tests done to prove they are human cause they’ve been otherworldly
VASY is back. Good night to have Kuch, Pointer, and BAGEL on my fantasy team 🤣⚡️
Oh we are so back
Not a bolts fan. But I’m a bucs fan. Idk how you guys can go from Amalie to Raymond James. Just doesn’t even feel like the same city lol
That was the highest shot percentage ever in an NHL game. Insane to shoot over 50%
Biggest difference Vasy and Jonas Brothers is rebound control. Vasy just punched pucks out of the rink at will or swallowed them whole if the Canes were playing downhill. I don’t want to get too far ahead but it looks like good Vasy may be back.
Kuch is the Canes dad
Looks like a completely different team with Vasy in the net
Also, good greif Point and Kuch
Gotta be honest, I didn’t see that coming after the first…lol
AND POINTER GOT A HAT TRICK!!
Fucking beautiful
Its always nice to have a blow out win every once in a while.
I don’t know if it was quality over quantity or Raanta having a bad night but i do think the D played noticeably better barring a few turnovers from Sergy guy’s got a bad case of the yips.
6 points for Kuch, 5 points and a hatty for point, Hagel with 3 points, Stammer with 2, Solid game, happy to see Hagel improving on last season already, its kind of uncanny how much him and Point are alike.
Lets keep the train rollin.
Shooting over 50%, 4 powerplay goals and goaltending over .900 we’re so fucking back folks
Ran all the numbers, including the advanced stats, and I’ve determined that Kuch and Point are good at hockey.
Was that not an nhl record?
First time in nhl history (or at least since 1955 when shots started to be tracked) a team has ever shot above 50% in a game
Of course the story of the game is the scoring but let’s also hear it for defending – 25 shots against is a welcome departure from the usual 40!
They took the first period personally what a game. Also, tweets that age poorly [https://x.com/canes/status/1728228010179063934?s=46](https://x.com/canes/status/1728228010179063934?s=46)
Island of domination…
