0:21 While I agree sorokin is better Varlamov is hot and is very distinguished playoff goalie he's been in the league for what feels like forever to me
Carolina will have lowest GAA if their goalies can be even decent. They are suffocating. I know my Wings weren't very good but they were offensively and I think one game they held us to like 11 shots. Crazy system they run over there in Carolina
a sweep? Eck be for real. The isles were the better team overall this game they just didnt have the scoring touch despite creating far better chances than the Canes. if the isles can play like they did this game for the remaining games, there is no way it will be a sweep
Bolts fan glued until they either make it again or break it again. Kuch is a first ballot hall of famer and if 88 stands on his head, the possibility exists that this squad could win number four. I won't hold my breath but will be like I said: glued.
I don't know about a sweep; the Isles have some strengths of their own, and on any given night either Varlomov or Sororkin could get a shut-out…But I do think that Carolina will win.
That soccer dive by Skjei at the beginning of that game was pathetic, and disgusting to watch for me. I'd have given him 2 and 10 made certain the league delivers max fine. No problem with giving Lee the penalty there with the scoring chance but if that goes uncalled and Lee scores it would be 100% deserved. Just gross to see that before the playoff are 1 1/2 minutes old. I now want to see CAR lose first round and I started the game not caring either way. Save the acting for a post hockey career.
I don't watch hockey but live in Toronto and knew it was playoff season when I heard all the Leafs fans complaining while I was getting my coffee this morning 😂
Anderson was good, but I don't think he stole the game in any way. The Islanders have a way of making goalies look good. Dobson has to bury that chance with Anderson down. Shoots it right at his hands. Probably would have been reviewed for goalie interference anyway. Outside of that, Anderson did what he had to do.
Kuzy forget the penguin dance was a part of the Pens-Caps rivalry. It's really not appropriate for playing for Canes scoring against Islanders while being a bottom 4 center. Just sayin…
Carolina's top line did not do the greatest this game and it was the other lines that came through, promising to see. That being said, it was one of the worst games I have seen from Carolina recently and I don't think it will be indictive of the rest of the series. I still have the canes in 5, but I really think this was the islanders chance to hit the canes before they woke up from the break.

What year is it? Canes and Isles in the FINALS???

Think Kuznetsov forgot he wasn’t a capital anymore for .1 seconds

When I saw the bird celly, I knew we're in full force playoff mode! It's gonna be some good games this year
i only want the Icelanders to win so i can have the hope of an NYI vs NYR 2nd round assuming my Rangers carry the series with the Caps.
Sorokin is the more talented. This year Varly has been much better imo. Ilya will get his net back first sign of Varly flopping
Colorado exits first round again
Carolina got lucky, holy the islanders were lighting them up.
when the islanders play the canes the refs always help the hurricanes, the game was horrible
Kuznetsov!!!!!
More CANES cringe. Can't wait for that team to fold/relocate.
Started? Didnt Boston play Toronto yesterday? Lol
Edit: Nevermind I'm just forgetful
Didn't realize Kuznetsov still retains what I thought was a Capitals-only celly.

Canes goes all the way to finals this year i think.
kuzy celly gonna be in my head till i die i swear 🔥
a sweep? lmao did you even watch the game. Isles dominated. Isles taking this thing!
Saturday's games were a joke. The Battle of FL has heated up the playoffs.
Damn, wish the Leafs had a goalie like Andersen 👀
will you be doing a playoff bracket like you did last year?
That trade already worked for Carolina
Hurricanes have a fun team, I look forward to a deep run from them.
I figure at least when it comes to goalies, Patrick Roy should know what he's doing.
Leafs loss.. yeah, playoffs have officially begun

This is one of the series that I was looking forward to the most. Defense, goaltending, physicality = playoff hockey.
666th like 💀
I mean… it’s no surprise if Carolina wins
Valormov/sorokin sounds like halak/price all over again
I don't watch hockey but live in Toronto and knew it was playoff season when I heard all the Leafs fans complaining while I was getting my coffee this morning 😂
Bird cells is just better
Canes take this series
Isles played hard and generated chances but Canes win 3-1 in what feels like their worst game in months…could be a repeat of 2019 and 2022
Been seeing a lot of “Canes lose this without Andersen”
uhh yeah that’s why he’s on the team.
Hey are you doing your own bracket challanfe again
Anderson was good, but I don't think he stole the game in any way. The Islanders have a way of making goalies look good. Dobson has to bury that chance with Anderson down.

Least anticipated because the Canes have owned NJ the last 8 years?
Tell me you haven't watched an Islanders game in the last 2 years without telling me you haven't watched an Islanders game in the last 2 years
send him back to Russia
He did say finals lol but he also sounds sick so let the man make a mistake and get some rest lol

Canes let’s gooooo
Looked more like the 2024 Olympics with the amount of Canes diving
This could be a better series than we thought.
