  1. Good to finish that one off. I think that physical play starts next round. While we won, the Canes didn't look like the Canes and they'll need to get right before the Rangers series.

  2. So Varlamov was the one who got caught in the men's room! Something I've been fearing Andersen would do. (It's okay. He still has time… šŸ¤£…)…No, dammit! I don't hate Andersen! But we need that fear innoculation after watching him and Raanta open the season going behind the barn mulitple misfortunate times…A tip of the cap to Patrick Roy and the New York Islanders! They've been peddling all uphill since the All Star break, and it kinda showed. It was a bit of a snakebit series for them, but they have nothing to feel ashamed of. The Devils were supposed to be here. Not the Isles…On to MSG…I've got a headache already…

  3. Hope my canes can get it done but they have started looking sloppy. I guess it's about that time. Biggest knock has always been their lack of physicality, soft checks, out muscled, pushed around in front of net.

  4. Felt like the islanders just have something that keeps the canes on their toes. Thankfully Seth Jarvis stepped up big this series and leads the team into round 2.

  5. Islanders fan here. There's a good chunk of the fan base that would love to see this team/core blown up and start fresh, but this series proves to anyone who actually watched it that this team still has some fight left in it. the older vets and players (Martin, Clutterbuck, Bortuzzo) will be sent to pasture and cap space can be freed up by moving on from certain players who aren't developing. the prospect situation is obviously pretty poor, so they'll have to look to the trade or free agent market to fill the gaps.

  6. I dont think Canes ahve played full 60mins yet, this game they finally started strong but their 2nd period was suspect, Rags vs Canes should be amazing hockey to watch

  7. Rant: Penalty shots like the one in this game should not be allowed in the game. A penalty shot should be mandated in the rules that the shooter should skate in as if being chased on a break away with speed, no slowing down and making the goalie dance all over the crease while picking an open spot to shoot – any teenage hockey player can do that- get that fixed and a rule on the books. Rant over.

  8. I'd say the isles play a style of hockey that carolina is not so good against. Thay said, the scoring has been there at the moment and they still found rhe chances with a bunch of pressure.

    The rangers managed to keep the smallest of margins ahead of carolina in the regular season. This should be an absolute battle, but I think the islanders prepared carolina more for the next round than the capitals dis for new York.

  9. A lot of work to do on the Island…let's hope ownership will take the time away from property development to hire a team that can build a winning hockey team. The fans deserve that much.
