Seth Jarvis is the best player from the 2020 draft.
Nelson slashed him pretty good before Guentzel celebrated
Noeson went all sweep the leg on the Islanders and judo flipped two of them š
The 2nd period when the Canes pinned the Isles down for what seemed like 3 minutes in their zone was crazy. The canes were changing their players heck you cant't even do that on a power play let alone 5v5 . Once I saw that the Isles were in trouble.
I'm curious to know how many times both teams have pulled their goalie at the end of the game. Gotta be rare.
Nelson got mad that Guentzel said something to him after Nelson slashed him twice on the play, once before the goal and again after
Guys, I get it, I'm a huge canes fan, but dudes watching several games at a time. He missed one slash, give him a break.
The Canes have been my nominal second team for a while now, but this game cemented it, full stop. What a game, what a comeback, and what an arena.
Nelson slashed Guentzel 3 times in a row then cross checks him. Only then did Guentzel turn and say something. Then Palmari comes in and tries to fight Guentzel. Come on bro do better.
one thing about that guentzel/nelson confrontationā¦ if you go back and watch it, nelson slashed him like three times before he finished that empty netter. nelson didnāt even try to skate to stop the goal, he just tried to slash him over and over lmao. so i donāt really blame jake for ššš and slamming that empty netter home. id have been pissed too lol
Jake did not taunt nelson. Why are you lying?
Nelson was whacking at Jakes legs the entire time.
As a fella at the game. There were serveral refs you suck chants. We were very upset about the refs sending out our faceoff takers
Brock Nelson slashed Guentzel before that crosscheck
Jarvis was bar down
Why is Bortuzzo in? He offers nothing back there…bring in isles Aho
Guentzel mouthed off to Nelson cuz Nelson slashed him like 3 or 4 times as he was scoring.
Nelson was smacking his legs on the way in Shannonā¦.no way you can say Guentzel did anything different than any empty net. Islanders tried and failed to get dirty
Holy crap what a choke job. Islanders had a great game 1 followed by the worst playoff game I think I've ever watched them play
Surprised you did not mention the amount of game misconducts for the Islanders
Islanders moment
Whatās with the snarky ass comments about the penalty disparity? The canes had the puck the whole game. Be better Shannon.
So are you saying that the refs did not suck in this game, or they already knew it do it didn't need to be pointed out? š¤£
Islanders didnāt deserve the win. And i am an Islanders fan. Carolina had a powerplay like whole game. But the limited chances Islanders took advantage of. Up 3-0. Gotta lock it down. But islanders canāt get out of their own zone. Lose every 50/50. And Pelech ices the puck on like every clearing attempt.
Nelson smacked Guentzel in the back after he scored thatās why he turned around and said something
The Canes fans were absolutely correct to be upset at the refs in the 1st. Constant faceoffs with only Carolina being sent out, and Varlamov shaking his own mask off to get a whistle when it wasnt loose (he put it right back on with no adjustment). Doesnt matter, though.. the better team won.
What a meltdown. Oooof, this will be difficult to come back from.
Islanders 2023-24 season recap. Get the lead, take dumb penalties, give up a PP goal or two, lose the lead, give up a 6 on 5 goal and then give up an empty net goal to the opposition. Dobson is the softest defenseman in the league and can someone find the Adam Pelech of a few years ago???? Geez
Canes – +500 to win cup (favorite).
Isles – +28,000 to win cup.
I'm an Isles fan, but I knew the lead wouldn't hold once the Canes got going. I am shocked they held the line for so long. The Canes were absolutely mauling them. It was a minor miracle the Isles held the lead so long. Then exhaustion set in and the Isles got frustrated.
Nelson is a total wimp when facing anyone even close to his size, but brave against smaller players. He and Engvall are big guys but give up the puck rather than take a hit. Go play in Europe.
After Yoda gutted our prospect pool, this will be a very painful rebuild to rival what the Devils went thru in the post Yoda era.
For the Guentzel ātauntā: while Guentzel was skating at the net with the puck, Nelson took 2 hacks at him, and then after the shot went in, he swung again at him. So 3 slashes in response to the empty net, Guentzel turned around and either taunted or said something about the slashes. And then Palmeri came in like a crazy man. So the taunt was definitely warranted after 3 hard slashes
The Islanders are like a Jose Mourinho-coached soccer team. Grab the early lead, absorb pressure, hit on counters and defend the heck out of the lead to the end. In hockey, it doesn't work. The Canes are a team on a mission, and they have a fire that hasn't been seen in past years. Game three will be chippy and nasty.
As a Penguins fan, I thoroughly enjoyed this game.
Not sure how you missed the 14 slashes on Guentzel before he scored the empty net one. HELLO
I was hoping for a good series but the way the Islanders acted in the end I hope they get buried in 4. That was just classless.
I'm cheering for the Islanders because I don't want to face the Canes, and this game irritated me so much.
I have said this all season…this roster just isn't good enough…and it showed in this game. The series is just about over…the Islanders will play hard especially at home but in the end…it won't matter.
As a canes fan, this game is definitely worrying. Yes we came back, but not so much that we won the game, the islanders lost. Defense definitely looking slow and had questionable decision making giving the islanders uncontested chances at the net. We had some terrible zone entries and turnovers that put the chemistry into question for the lines. Just not a game that was fun to watch until the end.
wait…..what about the 1 million slashes Guentzel received before the empty netter. Don't blame him for rubbing in a bit after the goal
Donāt infer Guentzel deserved to be slashed five times and then cross-checked just because he turned around and said something to the guy that was hacking and whacking him before and after the goal. Maybe infer that the Isles are hotheaded crybabies who when they know they lost, start throwing elbows and fists and swinging sticks.
You might has well said 'the canes press' for the entire game. The Islanders should have sold at deadline. They can not compete with good teams when those teams play well. Has an Islander fan I want Lou gone. I am sick of his BS. Shannon, I know you are the hockey guy. But Isles have been blowing leads the whole season, a few with Roy has coach. How could you think they could lock it down? The only surprise to me was that it did not go to OT. They only way this series is not a sweep is if Canes screw up.
I played last night. Left the locker room with like 2:50 to go in the game and the Isles were up 3-2. By the time I sat in my car and checked the score they were down 4-3. Oof
